Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines
that limit radio frequency energy
(RF) 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
telephones 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/rfsafe
ty) 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 energy (RF)
exposure from wireless phones
and other wireless handsets
with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists
