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 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 tissue-Micro 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.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
Radio Frequency 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.
