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 device and is set well below levels
known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless devices
must report the RF exposure level for each model of device to
the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)
gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on
your device so you can find your device's RF exposure level in
the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency
energy coming from wireless devices?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio
Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless devices 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 device 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 device. 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 device
complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio
Frequency energy from my wireless device?
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 concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in how much
exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless device will reduce RF exposure. If you
must conduct extended conversations by wireless device every
day, you could place more distance between your body and the
source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless device away from your body or
