Safety Guidelines (Continued)
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 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 energy
(RF) 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 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 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 exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone will
reduce RF exposure.
