gives directions for locating the

8. What has the FDA done to
measure the radio frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard
for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from
wireless phones 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 phone
users. The test method uses a
tissuesimulating 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 89
