(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 developed by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurement. The exposure limit takes
into consideration the body's ability to remove
heat from the tissues that absorb energy
from the wireless phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of
