7. How can I find out how much
radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency
energy (RF) 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 telephones 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 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/oet/
rfsafety) 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 radiofrequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
is developing a technical
standard for measuring the
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposure from wireless phones
and other wireless handsets
