energy (RF). The FDA has been a
leading participant in the World
Health 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
radiofrequency 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
radiofrequency 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
