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 wire-
less 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 identifi cation
number on your phone
so you can fi nd your
phone’s RF exposure
level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy coming from wireless phones?The Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing
a technical standard
for measuring the
Radio Frequency (RF)
energy exposure from
wireless phones and
other wireless handsets
with the participation
and leadership of
FDA scientists and
engineers. The standard,
“Recommended Practice
for Determining the
Spatial-Peak Specifi c
Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due
to Wireless Communica-
tions Devices: Experi-
mental Techniques”, sets
forth the fi rst consistent
