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

Safety

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 Specific Absorption

 

Rate (SAR) in the Human Body

 

Due to Wireless Communications

 

Devices: Experimental

88Techniques”, 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 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.
