Page 133 5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk? A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years.

Page 141 by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.8 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 0.72 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phones models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC requirements.) While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
