laboratory studies and studies

CRADA will also include a broad

assessment of additional research

needs in the context of the latest

research developments around

the world.

7. How can I find out how

much Radio Frequency

energy exposure I can

get by using my wireless

phone?

All phones sold in the United

States must comply with Federal

Communications Commission

(FCC) guidelines that limit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy exposures.

The FCC established these

guidelines in consultation with

the FDA and the other federal

health and safety agencies.

The FCC limit 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
