• Support needed research into
possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless
phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way
that minimizes any RF exposure
to the user that is not necessary
for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of
wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
• The FDA belongs to an
interagency working group
of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure

• Occupational Safety and Health

base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless
