participation and leadership of FDA
scientists anring 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 made at
different 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.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radiofrequency energy
from my wireless phone?
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 radiofrequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a
wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
• If you must condict extended
conversationsby wireless phone every
day, you could place more distance
between your body and the source of the
RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distamce. For example,
you could use a headset and carry the
wireless phone away from your body or
use a wireless phone connected to a
remote antenna
Again, the scientific data do not
demonstrate that wireless phones are
harmful. But if you are concerned about
the RF exposure from these products, you
can use measures like those described
above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
