6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the

possible health effects of wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology

Program and with groups of investigators around the

world to ensure that high priority animal studies are

conducted to address important questions about the

effects of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World

Health Organization International Electro Magnetic Fields

(EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential

result of this work has been the development of a detailed

agenda of research needs that has driven the

establishment of new research programs around the

world. The project has also helped develop a series of

public information documents on EMF issues.

The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet

Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research

and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on

wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific

oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,

industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded

research is conducted through contracts with

independent investigators. The initial research will include

both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone

users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of

additional research needs in the context of the latest

research developments around the world.

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy

exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United States must comply with

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that

limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures. The FCC

established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA

and the other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC

limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones is set at a

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram

(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety

standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and

Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council 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 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.
