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 of wireless phone
users. The test method uses
a tissuesimulating model of
the human head. Standardized
SAR test methodology
is expected to greatly
improve the consistency
of measurements made at
different laboratories on the
same phone. 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 wireless
phone complies with safety
guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from
my wireless phone?
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
radiofrequency energy (RF).
Since time is a key factor
in how much exposure a
person receives, reducing the
amount of time spent using a
wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure. If you must conduct
extended conversations by
wireless phone every day, you
could place more distance
