	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 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 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
SA
	Program and with groups of investigators around the
FE	world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
T Y
	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 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 independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.
