the tissues that absorb energy
from the wireless phone and
is set well below levels known
to have eff ects. 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
identifi cation number on your
phone so you can fi nd 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
and engineers. The standard,

'Recommended Practice for
Determining the Spatial- Peak
Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications
Devices: Experimental
Techniques, ' sets forth the fi rst
consistent test methodology
for measuring the rate at
which RF is deposited in
the heads of wireless phone
users. The test method uses a
tissuesimulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR
test methodology is expected
to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements
made at diff erent 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.
