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 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
