research will include both

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
energy (RF) 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/rfsaf
ety) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you
