Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines FDA Consumer Update ] Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones. ] Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF 1.Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones.
Safety Guidelines 3.What kinds of phones are the subject of this update? The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here to handheld wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
Safety Guidelines The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International Electromagnetic 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.
Safety Guidelines If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful.
Safety Guidelines Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves.
