Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project
since its inception in 1996.
An influentiaresult 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
formaCooperative 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
initiaresearch wilinclude both
laboratory studies and studies of
wireless phone users. The CRADA
wilalso include a broad assessment
of additionaresearch 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?
Alphones sold in the United
States must comply with
FederaCommunications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that
limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposures. The FCC established
these guidelines in consultation
with the FDA and the other
federahealth and safety agencies.
The FCC limit for RF exposure
from wireless phones 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 Electricaand
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the NationaCouncion 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 welbelow
levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure
levefor each modeof phone to
the FCC. The FCC website http://
