Safety Guidelines

energy coming from wireless phones?

 

 

The Institute of Electrical and

 

 

Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is

 

 

developing a technical standard

 

 

for measuring the radio

 

 

frequency energy (RF) exposure

 

 

from wireless phones and other

Safety

wireless handsets with the

participation and leadership of

 

 

FDA scientists and engineers.

 

 

The standard, ‘Recommended

Guidelines

Practice for Determining the

Spatial- Peak Specific Absorption

 

 

Rate (SAR) in the Human Body

 

 

Due to Wireless Communications

 

 

Devices: Experimental

 

 

Techniques,’ sets forth the first

 

 

consistent test methodology for

 

 

measuring the rate at which RF is

 

 

deposited in the heads of

 

 

wireless phone users. The test

 

 

method uses a tissuesimulating

 

 

model of the human head.

 

 

Standardized SAR test

80methodology 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 radiofrequency 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 radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time is a key
