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 radiofrequency
energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring
the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless handsets with the participation
and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, 'Recommended Practice for Determining the
Spatial- Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the
Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques, ' sets forth the first consistent
test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue simulating model of the human
head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of measurements made
at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue,
either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It
is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point
we do not know that there is - it is probably very small.
