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.

Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency
Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency
energy (RF) from cell phones - and at this point we do not
know that there is - 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 RF
exposure.
