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.

8.What has FDA done to measure the radiofre- quency energy coming from wireless phones ? The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for meas- uring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists anring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tis- sue-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.

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 factor in how much expo- sure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF expo- sure.

•If you must condict extended conversationsby wire- less phone every dey, you could place more dis- tance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distamce. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna

Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are con- cerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
