• Cooperate in providing mobile 

phone users with the best possible 

information on what is known 

about possible effects of mobile 

phone use on human health.

At the same time, FDA belongs to an 

interagency working group of the 

federal agencies that have responsi-

bility for different aspects of mobile 

phone safety to ensure a coordinat-

ed effort at the federal level. These 

agencies are:
• National Institute for Occupation-

al Safety and Health

• Environmental Protection Agency
• Federal Communications Com-

mission

• Occupational Health and Safety 

Administration

• National Telecommunications and 

Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health also 

participates in this group.
In the absence of conclusive information 

cerned individuals do?
If there is a risk from these products 

— and at this point we do not know 

that there is — it is probably very 

small. But if people are concerned 

about avoiding even potential risks, 

there are simple steps they can take 

to do so. For example, time is a key 

factor in how much exposure a per-

son receives. Those persons who 

spend long periods of time on their 

hand-held mobile phones could con-

sider holding lengthy conversations 

on conventional phones and reserv-

ing the hand-held models for shorter 

conversations or for situations when 

other types of phones are not availa-

ble.
People who must conduct extended 

conversations in their cars every day 

could switch to a type of mobile 

phone that places more distance be-

tween their bodies and the source of 

the RF, since the exposure level 

drops off dramatically with distance. 

For example, they could switch to:
• a mobile phone in which the an-

tenna is located outside the vehi-

cle,

• a hand-held phone with a built-in 

antenna connected to a different 

antenna mounted on the outside 

of the car or built into a separate 

package, or

• a headset with a remote antenna 

to a mobile phone carried at the 

waist.
