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 phones is set at a Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram

(1.6W/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/cgb/cellular.html) 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.

9. What about children using wireless

phones?

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
