additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had 
difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for 
inconsistent results. 
The FDA and other U.S. government agencies responsible for public 
health and safety have worked together and in connection with the 
World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor developments and 
identify research needs related to RF biological effects. It is generally 
agreed that further research is needed to determine what effects 
actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In the 
meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies 
are continuing to monitor the latest scientific findings to determine 
whether changes in safety limits are needed to protect human health. 
In 1996, the WHO established the International EMF Project to review 
the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health concerns 
over the use of RF technology. The WHO maintains a web site that 
provides extensive information on this project and about RF biological 
effects and research (
). 
If there is a risk from using wireless phones—and at this point the 
scientific evidence does not demonstrate the existence of such a risk—
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 
exposure to RF. Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a 
person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless 
phone will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended 
conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more 
distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the 
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you 
could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body 
or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
