25. Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to
potential RF health effects?
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved
in monitoring, researching or regulating issues related to
human exposure to RF radiation. These agencies include the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Department of
Defense (DOD).
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of
1968, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of
the FDA develops performance standards for the emission of
radiation from electronic products including X-ray equipment,
other medical devices, television sets, microwave ovens, laser
products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product
performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the
amount of RF leakage from ovens. However, the CDRH has not
adopted performance standards for other RF-emitting products.
