additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had

difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for

inconsistent results.

The FDA and other U.S. government agencies responsible for public

health and safety have worked together and in connection with the

World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor developments and

identify research needs related to RF biological effects. It is generally

agreed that further research is needed to determine what effects

actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the

meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies

are continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine

whether changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health.

In 1996, the WHO established the International EMF Project to review

the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health concerns

over the use of RF technology. The WHO maintains a web site that

provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological

effects and research (

www.who.ch/peh-emf).

If there is a risk from using wireless phones—and at this point the

scientific evidence does not demonstrate the existence of such a risk—

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

exposure to RF. Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a

person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless

phone will reduce RF exposure. 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.
