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 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 Fre-
quency 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 (RF) energy
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 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
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council on Radiation Protection
