phones to notify users of the health hazard and to re-

pair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no

longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA

regulatory actions at this time, FDA has urged the mo-

bile 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 ef-

fects 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; and

• 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 re-

sponsibility 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
