Cell Phone 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 a way 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.
