Consumer Information on Wireless Phones

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has 
published a series of Questions and Answers for 
consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure 
from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes the 
following information:

What k inds of phones are the subject of this update?

The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless 
phones with built-in antennas, often called "cell," 
"mobile," or "PCS" phones. These types of wireless phones 
can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy 
(RF) because of the short distance between the phone and 
the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal 
Communications Commission safety guidelines that 
were developed with the advice of 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 "cordless 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 well within the FCC's compliance 
limits.

Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any 
health problems are associated with using wireless 
phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones 
are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of 
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
