The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts
at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group
activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on
the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed
in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term 'wireless phone' refers here to handheld wireless phones with builtin
antennas, often called ' c ell' , 'mobile' , or 'PCS' phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because
of the short distance between the phone and the user' s head. These RF exposures
are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the
FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at
greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a
person' s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
The so-called ' c ordless phones, ' which have a base unit connected to the telephone
wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
