assay to RF are conflicting. Thus, follow-up
research is necessary.
FDA is currently working with government,
industry, and academic groups to ensure the
proper follow-up to these industry-funded
research findings. Collaboration with the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
in particular is expected to lead to FDA providing
research recommendations and scientific
oversight of new CTIA-funded research based on
such recommendations.
Two other studies of interest have been reported
recently in the literature:
1. Two groups of 18 people were exposed to
simulated mobile phone signals under laboratory
conditions while they performed cognitive
function tests. There were no changes in the
subjects’ ability to recall words, numbers, or
pictures, or in their spatial memory, but they were
able to make choices more quickly in one visual
test when they were exposed to simulated mobile
phone signals. This was the only change noted
among more than 20 variables compared.
2. In a study of 209 brain tumor cases and 425
matched controls, there was no increased risk of
brain tumors associated with mobile phone use.
When tumors did exist in certain locations,
however, they were more likely to be on the side of
the head where the mobile phone was used.
Because this occurred in only a small number of
cases, the increased likelihood was too small to be
statistically significant.
In summary, we do not have enough information
at this point to assure the public that there are, or
are not, any low incident health problems
