Industry Actions

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA

regulatory

 

 

actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone industry

to take a number of steps, including the following:

 

 

Support-needed

 

 

research on possible biological effects of RF

for the type of signal emitted by cell phones;

Design cell phones in away that minimizes any RF exposure to

the user; and

 

Cooperate in

providing users of cell phones with the current

 

information on cell phone use and human health concerns.

The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards continue to adequately protect the public.

Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

If

 

 

there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency

energy (RF) from cell phones

- and at this point we do not

know that there is - it is probably very small. But, if you are

concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take

a few simple steps to minimize your RF exposure.

Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;

Use speaker mode or aheadset to place more distance between

 

your head and the cell phone.

 

Hands-Free Kits

 

Hands-free kits may indude audio or Bluetooth® headsets

and various types of body-worn accessories such as

belt-

 

 

clips and holsters. Combinations of these can be used to

reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.

Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the

phone is held away from the head in the user'shand or in

approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in

the U.S. are required to meet RF exposure compliance

requirements when used against the head and against the

body.
