for RF exposure from
wireless phones is set
at a Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/
kg). The FCC limit is
consistent with the safety
standards developed
by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council
on Radiation Protection
and Measurement. The
exposure limit takes
into consideration the
body’s ability to remove
heat from the tissues
that absorb energy
from the wireless phone
and is set well below
levels known to have
effects. Manufacturers
of wireless phones
must report the RF
exposure level for each
model of phone to the
FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety) gives directions
for locating the FCC
identification number
on your phone so you
can find your phone’s
RF exposure level in the
online listing.
8. What has the FDA
done to measure
the Radio Frequency
energy coming from
wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing
a technical standard
for measuring the
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy exposure from
wireless phones and
other wireless handsets
with the participation
and leadership of
FDA scientists and
engineers. The standard,
