rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of
wireless phone users. The test method uses a
tissue-simulating 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
Radio Frequency 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 Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. 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 between your
body and the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a headset and carry the
wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data does not demonstrate
that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure from these
products, you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
users of wireless phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the
measures described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing
the time of wireless phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure.
