	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
	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
Safety	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 Organization International Electro Magnetic 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
