model of phone to the FCC.
The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives direc-
tions 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 FDA done to measure the radiofrequency ener-
gy coming from wireless phones ?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofre-
quency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the 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-simu-
lating 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 radiofre-
quency 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 con-
cerned 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
