8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy
coming from tablets?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing
a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF)
energy exposure from tablets and other wireless handsets with the
participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads and bodies of tablet users. The test method uses
a tissue-simulating model of the human head and body. Standardized
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different laboratories on the same tablet. SAR is
the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by
the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a
tablet complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency
energy from my tablet?
If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not
know that there is — it is probably very small. But if you are concerned
about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a
key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount
of time spent using a tablet will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct
extended conversations using a wireless device every day, you could place
more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could
use a headset and carry the tablet away from your body or use a wireless
device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data does
not demonstrate that tablets are harmful. But if you are concerned about
the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your RF exposure from tablet use.
