SafetyOrganization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result ofthis work has been the development of a detailed agendaof research needs that has driven the establishment ofnew research programs around the world. The Projecthas also helped develop a series of public informationdocuments on EMF issues.FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & InternetAssociation (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Researchand Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientificoversight, obtaining input from experts in government,industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-fundedresearch is conducted through contracts to independentinvestigators. The initial research will include bothlaboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.The CRADA will also include a broad assessment ofadditional research needs in the context of the latestresearch developments around the world.What steps can I take to reduce my exposure toradiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?If there is a risk from these products—and at this pointwe do not know that there is—it is probably very small.But if you are concerned about avoiding even potentialG’zOne TYPE-S 156risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize yourexposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is akey factor in how much exposure a person receives,reducing the amount of time spent using a wirelessphone will reduce RF exposure.• If you must conduct extended conversations bywireless phone every day, you could place moredistance between your body and the source of the RF,since the exposure level drops off dramatically withdistance. For example, you could use a headset andcarry the wireless phone away from your body or use awireless phone connected to a remote antennaAgain, the scientific data do not demonstrate thatwireless phones are harmful. But if you are concernedabout the RF exposure from these products, you can usemeasures like those described above to reduce your RFexposure from wireless phone use.What about children using wireless phones?The scientific evidence does not show a danger to usersof wireless phones, including children and teenagers. Ifyou want to take steps to lower exposure toradiofrequency energy (RF), the measures describedabove would apply to children and teenagers usingwireless phones.
