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.
