laboratory studies and studies
of wireless phone users. The
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
