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 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/ 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 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
