Statement from the director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health on the recent NTP draft report on RF energy exposure

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), one part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has released a statement from the director, Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., J.D. on the recent National Toxicology Program (NTP) draft report on radiofrequency (RF) energy exposure.

Among others, Shuren mentioned as follows:
"I want to underscore that based on our ongoing evaluation of this issue and taking into account all available scientific evidence we have received, we have not found sufficient evidence that there are adverse health effects in humans caused by exposures at or under the current radiofrequency energy exposure limits. Even with frequent daily use by the vast majority of adults, we have not seen an increase in events like brain tumors. Based on this current information, we believe the current safety limits for cell phones are acceptable for protecting the public health."
