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 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 well
below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers
of wireless phones must report the RF exposure
level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html) gives
directions for locating the FCC identification number
on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the
Radio Frequency energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure
from wireless phones 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
