•Environmental Protection Agency

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mobile phone industry to take a number of steps to assure public safety. The agency has recommended that the industry:

support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by mobile phones

design mobile phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for device function

cooperate in providing mobile phone users with the best possible information on what is known about possible effects of mobile phone use on human health

At the same time, FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of mobile phone safety to ensure a coordinated effort at the federal level. These agencies are:

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Environmental Protection Agency

Federal Communications Commission

Occupational Health and Safety Administration

National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health also participates in this group.
