Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the Radio
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC
limit for RF exposure from wireless phones
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
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-
simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is
expected to greatly improve the
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

exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
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 Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. 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. If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone every day,
you could place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, since
the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. 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
concerned about the RF exposure from
these products, you can use measures like
The scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures
described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless phone use
and increasing the distance between the
user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using wireless phones at
all. For example, the government in the

and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to

exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on

the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific

The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use your
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it
