Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996.
An influential result of this work
has been the development of a
detailed agenda of research needs
that has driven the establishment of
new research programs around the
world. The project has also helped
develop a series of public
information documents on EMF
issues. The FDA and the 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
scientific 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 Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent
with the safety standards
