questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency 
energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health 
Organization international Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project 
since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has 
been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs 
that has driven the establishment of new research programs 
around the world. The Project has also helped develop a series of 
public information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association 
(CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and Development 
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. 
FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from 
experts in government, industry, and academic organizations. 
CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to 
independent investigators. The initial research will include both 
laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The 
CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional 
research needs in the context of the latest research 
developments around the world.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio 
frequency energy from my wireless phone?
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 you are 
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a 
few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency 
energy (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.
