Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do
research on wireless phone
safety. The FDA provides
the scientifi c oversight,
obtaining input from experts
in government, industry,
and academic organizations.
CTIA-funded research is
conducted through contracts
with independent investigators.
The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also
include a broad assessment
of additional research needs
in the context of the latest
research developments around
the world.
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 Specifi c
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
