FDA has been receiving inquiries about the safety of mobile phones, including
cellular phones and PCS phones. The following summarizes what is known--and
what remains unknown--about whether these products can pose a hazard to health,
and what can be done to minimize any potential risk. This information may be used
to respond to questions.
Why the concern?
Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (i.e., radiofrequency
radiation) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels
of radiofrequency energy (RF), considered non-significant, when in the stand-by
mode. It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through
heating effects (this is how your microwave oven is able to cook food). However, it is
not known whether, to what extent, or through what mechanism, lower levels of RF
might cause adverse health effects as well. Although some research has been done
to address these questions, no clear picture of the biological effects of this type of
radiation has emerged to date. Thus, the available science does not allow us to
conclude that mobile phones are absolutely safe, or that they are unsafe. However,
