The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
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 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.

Frequency energy exposure I can get by using

exposure from wireless phones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
