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 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 wireless
phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model
of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafe
ty) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you
can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online
listing.
8. What has the FDA done to
measure the radiofrequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical
standard for measuring the
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless
handsets with the
participation and leadership of
FDA scientists and engineers.
The standard,

Determining the Spatial- Peak
