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.
What has 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 hand sets 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.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency
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. But if you are
