5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk?

 

 

A combination of laboratory

 

 

studies and epidemiological

 

 

studies of people actually using

 

 

wireless phones would provide

 

 

some of the data that are

 

 

needed. Lifetime animal exposure

 

 

studies could be completed in a

 

 

few years. However, very large

numbers of animals would be

needed to provide reliable proof

 

 

of a cancer promoting effect if

 

 

one exists. Epidemiological

 

 

studies can provide data that is

 

 

directly applicable to human

 

 

populations, but ten or more

 

 

years follow-up may be needed

 

 

to provide answers about some

 

 

health effects, such as cancer.

 

 

This is because the interval

 

 

between the time of exposure to

 

 

a cancer-causing agent and the

46time 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 held, or which model of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to 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 questions about the effects of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health
