	a cancercausing agent and the
	time tumors develop - if they do-
	may be many, many years. The
	interpretation of epidemiological
	studies is hampered by
	difficulties in measuring actual RF
	exposure during day-to-day use
	of wireless phones. Many factors
	affect this measurement, such as
	the angle at which the phone is

	6. What is the FDA doing to
Guidelines	find out more about the
	possible health effects of
	wireless phone RF?
	The FDA is working with the U.S.
	National Toxicology Program and
	with groups of investigators
	around the world to ensure that
	high priority animal studies are
	conducted to address important
78	questions about the effects of
	exposure to radiofrequency
	energy (RF). The FDA has been a

leading participant in the World Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996 . An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The project has also helped develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA- funded research is conducted through contracts with
