Responsible Driving Consumer Information Are Wireless Phones and Devices Safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency (RF) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it states that, while research is ongoing, available scientific evidenceincluding World Health Organization [WHO] findings [in the Interphone study] released May 17, 2010shows no increased health risk due to radiofrequency (RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by cell phones. The FDA also cites a separate National Cancer Institute program finding that, despite the dramatic increase in cell phone use, occurrences of brain cancer did not increase between 1987 and 2005. You can access the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/

ConsumerUpdates/ucm212273.htm. You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. The FCC has its own website publication stating that [t]here is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss. This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) states that concerns about the potential health effects of using cellular phonesand specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may increase a persons risk of developing brain cancer are not supported by a growing body of research on the subject. You can access NCIs review of the research at http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/

NCI_Cancer_Bulletin_092308/page7. The WHOs Interphone study is the largest study of cell phone use and brain tumors ever undertaken. WHO summarized its conclusions concerning Interphone as follows: Overall, no increase in risk of glioma or meningioma was observed with use of mobile phones. There were suggestions of an increased risk of glioma at the highest exposure levels, but biases and error prevent a causal interpre tation. The possible effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones require further investigation. The WHOs comments on Interphone are available at: http://www.iarc. fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf. WHOs publication of Interphone is available at http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/39/3/675. abstract; see also, Interphone Appendix

(http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/suppl/2010/05/06/

dyq079.DC1/Interphone_Appendix2.pdf). What Does Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environ-

mental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the wireless device transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the wireless device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. For more information about SARs, see the FCCs OET Bulletins 56 (http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states that [h]ands-free kits can be used with wire less devices for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is a source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit. Also, if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a wireless device with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless device manufacturers instruc tions for the safe operation of your wire less device. Do Wireless Phones Pose Any Special Risks to Children?

The FDA website states that [t]he scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF exposure, including children and teenagers. The FDA website further states that [s]ome groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be dis couraged from using cell phones at all. For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [UK] made such a recom men dation in December 2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UKs] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of the UKs leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search mobile), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, United Kingdom. Copies of UKs annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at http://www. iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search mobile). Parents who wish to reduce their childrens RF exposure may choose to restrict their childrens wireless device use. Where Can I Get Further Information about RF Emissions?

Persons who have such devices:

Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON;

Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;

Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference;

Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your health care provider. 7 For additional information, see http://www.fda.gov

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices). Caution: Avoid Potential Hearing Loss Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations, may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings, and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:

Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately. 8 When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to. Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy sur round ings. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise. Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal. Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use, and consult your doctor. 9 You Can Obtain Additional Information on This Subject from the Following Sources:

La siguiente informacin al consumidor menciona algunas de las preguntas ms frecuentes sobre los efectos de los aparatos mviles en la salud. Son seguros los telfonos y aparatos mviles?

La investigacin cientfica en materia de aparatos mviles y de energa de radiofrecuencia (RF) se ha llevado a cabo en todo el mundo durante muchos aos, y an contina. En Estados Unidos, la Administracin de Drogas y Alimentos (FDA) y la Comisin Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) establecen polticas y procedi mientos para los aparatos mviles. La FDA edit una publicacin en su sitio de Internet sobre problemas de salud relacionados con el uso de telfonos mviles en la cual se afirma que, aunque se estn llevando a cabo en la actualidad investigaciones al respecto, la evidencia cientfica disponible incluidas las conclusiones [en el estudio Interphone] de la Organizacin Mundial de la Salud (OMS) publicadas el 17 de mayo de 2010 demuestra que no existe un incremento en riesgos para la salud por la energa de radiofrecuencia, una forma de radiacin electromagntica que emiten los telfonos mviles. La FDA cita tambin un hallazgo independiente 12 de un programa del Instituto Nacional del Cncer, segn el cual, a pesar del incremento espectacular del uso del telfono mvil, no se produjo un incremento de los casos de cncer cerebral entre 1987 y 2005. Puedes acceder al sitio de Internet de la FDA en http://www.fda.gov/

ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm212273.htm. Puedes tambin ponerte en contacto con la FDA llamando sin cargo de conexin al (888)463-6332 o al (888)INFO-FDA. La FCC tiene una publicacin en su propio sitio de Internet en la que se afirma que no existe evidencia cientfica que pruebe que el uso de telfonos mviles pueda provocar cncer u otros problemas de salud, como dolores de cabeza, mareos o prdida de memoria. Esta publicacin se encuentra disponible en http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html o en la FCC llamando al (888)225-5322 o al (888)CALL-FCC. El Instituto Nacional del Cncer (NCI) afirma que la preocupacin sobre los posibles efectos que pueda tener sobre la salud el uso de telfonos mviles y especfica mente la teora de que el uso de telfonos mviles puede aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar cncer cerebral en las personas no tiene fundamento alguno segn las investigaciones cada vez ms amplias en la materia. Puedes acceder a los comentarios del NCI sobre las investigaciones realizadas en http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_ 13 Bulletin_092308/page7. El estudio Interphone de la OMS es el estudio ms amplio jams realizado sobre el uso de telfonos mviles y los tumores cerebrales. La OMS resumi as sus conclusiones en el estudio Interphone:

En general, no se ha observado un incremento en el riesgo de glioma o meningioma con el uso de telfonos mviles. Hubo indicios de un aumento del riesgo de glioma a los niveles ms altos de exposicin, pero la existencia de sesgos y errores impide adoptar una interpretacin causal. Es necesario seguir investigando para confirmar los posibles efectos de un uso intensivo de telfonos mviles a largo plazo.

En 1996, la FCC, en coordinacin con la FDA, la Agencia de Proteccin Ambiental de EE.UU. (EPA) y otras agen cias, estableci guas de seguridad sobre la exposicin a la radiofrecuencia de aparatos mviles en Estados Unidos. Antes de que se haga disponible un aparato mvil para su venta al pblico, debe someterse a pruebas por el fabricante y certificarse ante la FCC que ese aparato mvil no excede los lmites establecidos por la FCC. Uno de estos lmites se expresa como una Tasa de Absorcin Especfica o SAR. La SAR mide la tasa de absorcin de energa de radiofrecuencia en el cuerpo. Las pruebas de la SAR se llevan a cabo con el aparato mvil transmitiendo a su ms alto nivel de potencia en todas las bandas de frecuencia a prueba. Desde 1996, la FCC ha requerido que la SAR de los aparatos mviles manuales no exceda 1.6 vatios por kilogramo, cuyo promedio se hace sobre un gramo de tejido. Aunque la SAR se determina al nivel ms alto de potencia, el valor real de la SAR de un aparato mvil en operacin puede ser inferior al valor de la SAR reportado. Esto se debe a que el valor de la SAR puede variar con cada llamada, dependiendo de factores como la proximidad a una torre celular, la proximidad del aparato mvil al cuerpo durante su uso y el uso de aparatos de manos libres. 15 Para ms informacin sobre la SAR, consulta los Bole tines OET 56 (http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/

Si te preocupa la radiofrecuencia, hay varias medidas simples que puedes tomar para minimizar tu exposicin a la radiofrecuencia. Puedes, desde luego, reducir el tiempo de tus llamadas. Puedes incrementar la distancia entre tu cuerpo y la fuente de radiofrecuencia, ya que el nivel de exposicin baja de manera muy considerable con la distancia. En el sitio de Internet de la FDA y la FCC se afirma que los paquetes de manos libres pueden ser usados con los aparatos mviles para la comodidad y el confort. Estos sistemas reducen la absorcin de ener ga de radiofrecuencia en la cabeza debido a que el telfono, el cual es una fuente de emisiones de radiofrecuencia, no se utiliza pegado a la cabeza. Por otro lado, si el telfono se encuentra colocado a la altura de la cintura u otras partes del cuerpo durante el uso, entonces esa parte del cuerpo absorber ms energa de radiofrecuencia. 16 Se requiere que los telfonos mviles comercializados en EE.UU. cumplan con los requisitos de seguridad sin importar si se usan pegados a la cabeza o al cuerpo. Cualquier configuracin debe respetar el lmite de seguridad. Asimismo, si usas tu aparato mvil mientras ests en un auto, puedes usar un aparato mvil con antena en el exterior del vehculo. Tambin debes leer y seguir las instrucciones del fabricante de tu aparato mvil para la utilizacin segura de tu aparato mvil. Representan algn riesgo especial para los nios los telefonos mviles?

En el sitio de Internet de la FDA se afirma que la eviden cia cientfica no demuestra la existencia de peligro alguno para los usuarios de telfonos mviles por expo si cin a radiofrecuencia, ni siquiera para nios o adolescentes. Adems, en el mismo se afirma que algunos grupos patrocinados por Gobiernos de otros pases han aconsejado que se disuada totalmente a los nios de usar telfonos mviles. Por ejemplo, en el Informe Stewart del Reino Unido se hizo esa misma recomendacin en diciembre de 2000. En este informe un grupo de expertos independientes seal que no existe evidencia de que el uso de telfonos mviles provoque la aparicin de tumores cerebrales 17 u otros efectos perjudiciales. La recomendacin del Reino Unido de limitar el uso de telfonos mviles por parte de nios era estrictamente por precaucin, no estaba basada en evidencia cientfica de que existiera riesgo alguno para la salud.

Aviso: Evita una posible prdida auditiva La exposicin prolongada a sonidos fuertes (incluida la msica) es la causa ms comn de prdida auditiva que podra evitarse. Algunos estudios cientficos sugie ren que el uso de aparatos de audio porttiles, como los reproductores de msica porttiles y los telfonos mviles, programados a un volumen alto durante un tiempo prolongado, puede causar una prdida auditiva permanente como consecuencia del ruido. Esto incluye el uso de auriculares (incluidos audfonos, Bluetooth u otros aparatos mviles). En algunos estudios tambin se ha asociado la exposicin a sonidos muy altos con el 20 tinitus (zumbido en el odo), hipersensibilidad a sonidos y audicin distorsionada. La susceptibilidad individual a la prdida auditiva provocada por el ruido y otros problemas potenciales de audicin vara. La cantidad de sonido producida por un aparato de audio porttil vara segn la naturaleza del sonido, el aparato, la programacin del aparato y los auriculares. Al usar cualquier aparato de audio porttil, debers seguir algunas recomendaciones razonables:

Programa el volumen en un ambiente tranquilo y selecciona el volumen ms bajo que te permita escuchar de manera adecuada. Cuando uses auriculares, baja el volumen si no puedes escuchar a las personas que estn hablando cerca de ti o si la persona sentada junto a ti puede escuchar lo que t ests escuchando. No subas el volumen para bloquear ambientes rui dosos. Si quieres escuchar algo en tu aparato porttil en un ambiente ruidoso, usa auriculares antirruido para bloquear el ruido de fondo ambiental. Limita el tiempo que ests escuchando. A medida que aumenta el volumen, se requiere menos tiempo para que tu audicin resulte afectada. 21 Evita el uso de auriculares despus de estar expuesto a ruidos muy fuertes, como conciertos de rock, que podran causar una prdida auditiva temporal. Con la prdida auditiva temporal, los volmenes peligrosos pueden sonarte como normales. No te expongas a ningn nivel de volumen que te provoque molestia alguna. Si despus de usar tu apa rato de audio porttil sientes zumbidos en los odos, escuchas voces con un sonido apagado o experi mentas alguna dificultad temporal en tu audicin, suspende el uso y consulta con tu mdico.
