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.
7. How can I find out how much Radio
Frequency 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 Radio
Frequency (RF) energy 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 phones 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.
