Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a
user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It
does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value
in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than
the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base
station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone
meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As
stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the
public.

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones
(The following information comes from a consumer information Website jointly sponsored by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
entitled “Cell Phone Facts: Consumer Information on Wireless Phones.” The information reproduced
herein is dated July 29, 2003. For further updates, please visit the Website: http://www.fda.gov/

What is radiofrequency energy (RF)?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one form of electromagnetic
energy that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of the other forms of energy in the
electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or
electromagnetic radiation) consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together
(radiating) through space. The area where these waves are found is called an electromagnetic
field.
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in antennas. As they are
created, these waves radiate away from the antenna. All electromagnetic waves travel at the
speed of light. The major differences between the different types of waves are the distances
covered by one cycle of the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain point during a set
time period. The wavelength is the distance covered by one cycle of a wave. The frequency is
the number of waves passing a given point in one second. For any electromagnetic wave, the
wavelength multiplied by the frequency equals the speed of light. The frequency of an RF signal
is usually expressed in units called hertz (Hz). One Hz equals one wave per second. One
kilohertz (kHz) equals one thousand waves per second, one megahertz (MHz) equals one million
waves per second, and one gigahertz (GHz) equals one billion waves per second.
RF energy includes waves with frequencies ranging from about 3000 waves per second (3 kHz)
to 300 billion waves per second (300 GHz). Microwaves are a subset of radio waves that have
frequencies ranging from around 300 million waves per second (300 MHz) to three billion waves
per second (3 GHz).

Safety
How is radiofrequency energy used?
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommunications. Radio and TV
broadcasting, wireless phones, pagers, cordless phones, police and fire department radios,
point-to-point links and satellite communications all rely on RF energy.
Other uses of RF energy include microwave ovens, radar, industrial heaters and sealers, and
medical treatments. RF energy, especially at microwave frequencies, can heat water. Since most
food has a high water content, microwaves can cook food quickly. Radar relies on RF energy to
track cars and airplanes as well as for military applications. Industrial heaters and sealers use RF
energy to mold plastic materials, glue wood products, seal leather items such as shoes and
pocketbooks, and process food. Medical uses of RF energy include pacemaker monitoring and
programming.
How is radiofrequency radiation measured?
RF waves and RF fields have both electrical and magnetic components. It is often convenient to
express the strength of the RF field in terms of each component. For example, the unit “volts
per meter” (V/m) is used to measure the electric field strength, and the unit “amperes per
meter” (A/m) is used to express the magnetic field strength. Another common way to
characterize an RF field is by means of the power density. Power density is defined as power per
unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts (one thousandth
of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2 or microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square
centimeter (µW/cm2).
The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the body is called the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy. It
is usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g).
What biological effects can be caused by RF energy?
The biological effects of radiofrequency energy should not be confused with the effects from
other types of electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic energy, such as is found in X-rays and gamma rays can ionize
biological tissues. Ionization is a process where electrons are stripped away from their normal
locations in atoms and molecules. It can permanently damage biological tissues including DNA,
the genetic material. Ionization only occurs with very high levels of electromagnetic energy
Safety
279
such as X-rays and gamma rays. Often the term radiation is used when discussing ionizing
radiation (such as that associated with nuclear power plants).
The energy levels associated with radiofrequency energy, including both radio waves and
microwaves, are not great enough to cause the ionization of atoms and molecules. Therefore, RF
energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible
light, infrared radiation (heat) and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with relatively low
frequencies.
Large amounts of RF energy can heat tissue. This can damage tissues and increase body
temperatures. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF
heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.
The amount of RF radiation routinely encountered by the general public is too low to produce
significant heating or increased body temperature. Still, some people have questions about the
possible health effects of low levels of RF energy. It is generally agreed that further research is
needed to determine what effects actually occur and whether they are dangerous to people. In
the meantime, standards-setting organizations and government agencies are continuing to
monitor the latest scientific findings to determine whether changes in safety limits are needed to
protect human health.
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety have
worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor developments and identify research
needs related to RF biological effects.
What levels of RF energy are considered safe?
Various organizations and countries have developed standards for exposure to radiofrequency
energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for both the general public and for
workers. In the United States, the FCC has used safety guidelines for RF environmental exposure
since 1985.
The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In
both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy.
280
Section 1: Getting Started
280 1A: Setting Up Service
Safety
Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The ICNIRP safety
limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE, with a few exceptions. For example,
ICNIRP recommends different exposure levels in the lower and upper frequency ranges and for
localized exposure from certain products such as hand-held wireless telephones. Currently, the
World Health Organization is working to provide a framework for international harmonization of
RF safety standards.
The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP all have identified a whole-body Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
value of 4 watts per kilogram (4 W/kg) as a threshold level of exposure at which harmful
biological effects may occur. Exposure guidelines in terms of field strength, power density and
localized SAR were then derived from this threshold value. In addition, the NCRP, IEEE, and
ICNIRP guidelines vary depending on the frequency of the RF exposure. This is due to the
finding that whole-body human absorption of RF energy varies with the frequency of the RF
signal. The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300
MHz where the human body absorbs RF energy most efficiently. For products that only expose
part of the body, such as wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified.
The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and magnetic field
strength, and power density for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
The specific values can be found in two FCC bulletins, OET Bulletins 56 and 65: http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#56; http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65.
Why has the FCC adopted guidelines for RF exposure?
The FCC authorizes and licenses products, transmitters, and facilities that generate RF and
microwave radiation. It has jurisdiction over all transmitting services in the U.S. except those
specifically operated by the Federal Government. While the FCC does not have the expertise to
determine radiation exposure guidelines on its own, it does have the expertise and authority to
recognize and adopt technically sound standards promulgated by other expert agencies and
organizations, and has done so. (Our joint efforts with the FDA in developing this website is
illustrative of the kind of inter-agency efforts and consultation we engage in regarding this health
and safety issue.)
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the FCC has certain
responsibilities to consider whether its actions will significantly affect the quality of the human
environment. Therefore, FCC approval and licensing of transmitters and facilities must be
Safety
281
evaluated for significant impact on the environment. Human exposure to RF radiation emitted
by FCC-regulated transmitters is one of several factors that must be considered in such
environmental evaluations. In 1996, the FCC revised its guidelines for RF exposure as a result of
a multi-year proceeding and as required by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Radio and television broadcast stations, satellite-earth stations, experimental radio stations and
certain wireless communication facilities are required to undergo routine evaluation for RF
compliance when they submit an application to the FCC for construction or modification of a
transmitting facility or renewal of a license. Failure to comply with the FCC's RF exposure
guidelines could lead to the preparation of a formal Environmental Assessment, possible
Environmental Impact Statement and eventual rejection of an application. Technical guidelines
for evaluating compliance with the FCC
RF safety requirements can be found in the FCC's OET Bulletin 65.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65.
Low-powered, intermittent, or inaccessible RF transmitters and facilities are normally excluded
from the requirement for routine evaluation for RF exposure. These exclusions are based on
standard calculations and measurement data indicating that a transmitting station or equipment
operating under the conditions prescribed is unlikely to cause exposures in excess of the
guidelines under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are not exclusions from compliance,
but, rather, exclusions from routine evaluation. The FCC's policies on RF exposure and
categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of the FCC's Rules and Regulations [(47
CFR 1.1307(b)].
How can I obtain the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for my wireless phone?
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States demonstrate compliance with
human exposure limits adopted by the FCC in 1996. The relative amount of RF energy absorbed
in the head of a wireless telephone-user is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as
explained above. The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many recently manufactured
phones using the FCC identification (ID) number for that model. The FCC ID number is usually
printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack to find the number. Once you have the ID number, go to the following Web
address: www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. On this page, you will see instructions for entering the FCC ID
282

Safety
number. Type the FCC ID number exactly as requested (the Grantee Code is the first three
characters, the Equipment Product Code is the rest of the FCC ID number). Then click on “Start
Search.” The “Grant of Equipment Authorization” for your telephone should appear. Read
through the grant for the section on “SAR Compliance,” “Certification of Compliance with FCC
Rules for RF Exposure” or similar language. This section should contain the value(s) for typical
or maximum SAR for your phone.
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have the maximum SAR levels
noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment Authorization.” For phones and products authorized
between about mid-1998 and June 2000, detailed information on SAR levels is typically found in
the exhibits associated with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by
clicking on “View Exhibit.” Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic
database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper records.
The FCC database does not list phones by model number. However, consumers may find SAR
information from other sources as well. Some wireless phone manufacturers make SAR
information available on their own Web sites. In addition, some non-government Web sites
provide SARs for specific models of wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these
sites and makes no guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones certified by the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) are required to provide SAR information to
consumers in the instructional materials that come with the phones.
Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no
reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless
phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the
head because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the
head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body
during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in
the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the
head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.
Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from wireless phones, there is no
reason to believe that accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions reduce
Safety
283
risks. Some products that claim to shield the user from RF absorption use special phone cases,
while others involve nothing more than a metallic accessory attached to the phone. Studies have
shown that these products generally do not work as advertised. Unlike “hand-free” kits, these socalled “shields” may interfere with proper operation of the phone. The phone may be forced to
boost its power to compensate, leading to an increase in RF absorption. In February 2002, the
Federal trade Commission (FTC) charged two companies that sold devices that claimed to
protect wireless phone users from radiation with making false and unsubstantiated claims.
According to FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate their claim.
What are wireless telephone base stations?
Fixed antennas used for wireless telecommunications are referred to as cellular base stations,
cell stations, PCS (“Personal Communications Service”) stations or telephone transmission
towers. These base stations consist of antennas and electronic equipment. Because the antennas
need to be high in the air, they are often located on towers, poles, water tanks, or rooftops.
Typical heights for freestanding base station towers are 50-200 feet.
Some base stations use antennas that look like poles, 10 to 15 feet in length, that are referred to
as “omni-directional” antennas. These types of antennas are usually found in rural areas. In urban
and suburban areas, wireless providers now more commonly use panel or sector antennas for
their base stations. These antennas consist of rectangular panels, about 1 by 4 feet in dimension.
The antennas are usually arranged in three groups of three antennas each. One antenna in each
group is used to transmit signals to wireless phones, and the other two antennas in each group
are used to receive signals from wireless phones.
At any base station site, the amount of RF energy produced depends on the number of radio
channels (transmitters) per antenna and the power of each transmitter. Typically, 21 channels
per antenna sector are available. For a typical cell site using sector antennas, each of the three
transmitting antennas could be connected to up to 21 transmitters for a total of 63 transmitters.
However, it is unlikely that all of the transmitters would be transmitting at the same time. When
omni-directional antennas are used, a cellular base station could theoretically use up to 96
transmitters, but this would be very unusual, and, once again, it is unlikely that all transmitters
would be in operation simultaneously. Base stations used for PCS communications generally
require fewer transmitters than those used for cellular radio transmissions, since PCS carriers
usually have a higher density of base station antenna sites.
284
Section 1: Getting Started
284 1A: Setting Up Service
Safety
Are wireless telephone base stations safe?
The electromagnetic RF signals transmitted from base station antennas stations travel toward the
horizon in relatively narrow paths. For example, the radiation pattern for an antenna array
mounted on a tower can be likened to a thin pancake centered around the antenna system. The
individual pattern for a single array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As
with all forms of electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from
the antenna. Therefore, RF exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close to the
antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact, ground-level exposure from such
antennas is typically thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended as safe by
expert organizations. So exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins.
Cellular and PCS base stations in the United States are required to comply with limits for
exposure recommended by expert organizations and endorsed by government agencies
responsible for health and safety. Measurements made near cellular and PCS base station
antennas mounted on towers have confirmed that ground-level exposures are typically
thousands of times less than the exposure limits adopted by the FCC. In fact, in order to be
exposed to levels at or near the FCC limits for cellular or PCS frequencies an individual would
essentially have to remain in the main transmitted radio signal (at the height of the antenna) and
within a few feet from the antenna. This is, of course, very unlikely to occur.
When cellular and PCS antennas are mounted on rooftops, RF levels on that roof or on others near
by would probably be greater than those typically encountered on the ground. However, exposure
levels approaching or exceeding safety guidelines should be encountered only very close to or
directly in front of the antennas. In addition, for sector-type antennas, typically used for such
rooftop base stations, RF levels to the side and in back of these antennas are insignificant. General
guidelines on antenna installations and circumstances that might give rise to a concern about an
facility's conformance with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government Official's Guide
to Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance. This Guide
can be accessed at:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.
Safety
285
Who regulates exposure to radiation from microwave ovens, television sets and
computer monitors?
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting the public from harmful
radiation emissions from these consumer products.
Does the FCC routinely monitor radiofrequency radiation from antennas?
The FCC does not have the resources or the personnel to routinely monitor the emissions for all
the thousands of transmitters that are subject to FCC jurisdiction. However, the FCC does have
measurement instrumentation for evaluating RF levels in areas that may be accessible to the
public or to workers. If there is evidence for potential non-compliance with FCC exposure
guidelines for a FCC-regulated facility, staff from the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology
or the FCC Enforcement Bureau can conduct and investigation, and, if appropriate, perform
actual measurements. Circumstances that could give rise to a concern about an facility's
conformance with FCC regulations can be found in A Local Government Official's Guide to
Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety: Rules, Procedures, and Practical Guidance. This Guide
can be accessed at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety. Potential exposure problems should be brought
to the FCC's attention by contacting the FCC RF Safety Program at: 202-418-2464 or by email:
rfsafety@fcc.gov.
Does the FCC maintain a database that includes information on the location and
technical parameters of all the transmitting towers it regulates?
Each of the FCC Bureaus maintains its own licensing database system for the service(s) it
regulates (e.g., television, cellular service, satellite earth stations.) The FCC issues two types of
licenses: site specific and market based. In the case of site specific licensed facilities, technical
operating information is collected from the licensee as part of the licensing process. However, in
the case of market based licensing (e.g., PCS, cellular), the licensee is granted the authority to
operate a radio communications system in a geographic area using as many facilities as are
required, and the licensee is not required to provide the FCC with specific location and
operating parameters of these facilities.
Information on site specific licensed facilities can be found the “General Menu Reports”
(GenMen) at http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/genmen/index.hts.
286
Section 1: Getting Started
286 1A: Setting Up Service
Safety
The various FCC Bureaus also publish on at least a weekly basis, bulk extracts of their licensing
databases. Each licensing database has its own unique file structure. These extracts consist of
multiple, very large files. The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) maintains an
index to these databases at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/fadb.html. Entry points into the
various databases include frequency, state/county, latitude/longitude, call-sign and licensee
name. For further information on the Commission's existing databases, you can contact Donald
Campbell at dcampbel@fcc.gov or 202-418-2405.
Can local and state governmental bodies establish limits for RF exposure?
Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations about human
exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires the Federal
Government to control human exposure to RF emissions. In particular, Section 704 of the Act
states that, “No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the
placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of
the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply
with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions.” Further information on federal
authority and FCC policy is available in a fact sheet from the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau at www.fcc.gov/wtb.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does
not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level
RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as
wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
Safety
287
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
䡲
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;
䡲
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not
necessary for device function; and
䡲
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on
possible effects of wireless phone use on human health
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for
different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following
agencies belong to this working group:
䡲
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
䡲
Environmental Protection Agency
䡲
Federal Communications Commission
䡲
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
䡲
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as
well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety
guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures
that people get from these base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they
can get from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the primary subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.
288
Section 1: Getting Started
288 1A: Setting Up Service
Safety
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas,
often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the
user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the
phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the
exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit
connected to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and
thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered
from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have
suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory
animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals
that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be predisposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to
RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which
people use wireless phones, so we don't know with certainty what the results of such studies
mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them,
the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary
gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any
harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can
answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
Safety
289
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a
health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure
studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be
needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years'
follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time
tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological
studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of
wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is
held, or which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone
RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around
the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions
about the effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of this
work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the
establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped develop
a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone
safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government,
industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts to
independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies
of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.

What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency 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. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a
few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF). 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.
䡲
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 those
described above to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
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 radiofrequency energy (RF), 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 United
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted
that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
What about wireless phone interference with medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some electronic devices.
For this reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure electromagnetic
Safety
291
interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones.
This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone
EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop
a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
This standard specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and
wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Which other federal agencies have responsibilities related to potential RF health
effects?
Certain agencies in the Federal Government have been involved in monitoring, researching or
regulating issues related to human exposure to RF radiation. These agencies include the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and
the Department of Defense (DOD).
By authority of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, the Center for Devices
and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the FDA develops performance standards for the emission of
radiation from electronic products including X-ray equipment, other medical devices, television
sets, microwave ovens, laser products and sunlamps. The CDRH established a product
performance standard for microwave ovens in 1971 limiting the amount of RF leakage from
ovens. However, the CDRH has not adopted performance standards for other RF-emitting
products. The FDA is, however, the lead federal health agency in monitoring the latest research
developments and advising other agencies with respect to the safety of RF-emitting products
used by the public, such as cellular and PCS phones.
292
Section 1: Getting Started
292 1A: Setting Up Service
Safety
The FDA's microwave oven standard is an emission standard (as opposed to an exposure standard)
that allows specific levels of microwave leakage (measured at five centimeters from the oven
surface). The standard also requires ovens to have two independent interlock systems that prevent
the oven from generating microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the
oven is opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used according to
the manufacturer's recommendations are safe for consumer and industrial use. More information is
available from: www.fda.gov/cdrh.
The EPA has, in the past, considered developing federal guidelines for public exposure to RF
radiation. However, EPA activities related to RF safety and health are presently limited to
advisory functions. For example, the EPA now chairs an Inter-agency Radiofrequency Working
Group, which coordinates RF health-related activities among the various federal agencies with
health or regulatory responsibilities in this area.
OSHA is responsible for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous chemical and physical
agents. In 1971, OSHA issued a protection guide for exposure of workers to RF radiation [29
CFR 1910.97]. However, this guide was later ruled to be only advisory and not mandatory.
Moreover, it was based on an earlier RF exposure standard that has now been revised. At the
present time, OSHA uses the IEEE and/or FCC exposure guidelines for enforcement purposes
under OSHA's “general duty clause” (for more information see: http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/
radiofrequencyradiation/index.html.
NIOSH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It conducts research and
investigations into issues related to occupational exposure to chemical and physical agents.
NIOSH has, in the past, undertaken to develop RF exposure guidelines for workers, but final
guidelines were never adopted by the agency. NIOSH conducts safety-related RF studies through
its Physical Agents Effects Branch in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The NTIA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce and is responsible for authorizing
Federal Government use of the RF electromagnetic spectrum. Like the FCC, the NTIA also has
NEPA responsibilities and has considered adopting guidelines for evaluating RF exposure from
U.S. Government transmitters such as radar and military facilities.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has conducted research on the biological effects of RF
energy for a number of years. This research is now conducted primarily at the U.S. Air Force
Research Laboratory located at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. The DOD Web site for RF
Safety
293
biological effects information is listed with other sites in conjunction with a question on other
sources of information, below.
Who funds and carries out research on the biological effects of RF energy?
Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in laboratories in the United
States and around the world. In the U.S., most research has been funded by the Department of
Defense, due to the extensive military use of RF equipment such as radar and high-powered
radio transmitters. In addition, some federal agencies responsible for health and safety, such as
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
have sponsored and conducted research in this area. At the present time, most of the nonmilitary research on biological effects of RF energy in the U.S. is being funded by industry
organizations. More research is being carried out overseas, particularly in Europe.
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF Project to
review the scientific literature and work towards resolution of health concerns over the use of
RF technology. WHO maintains a Web site that provides extensive information on this project
and about RF biological effects and research (www.who.ch/peh-emf).
FDA, EPA and other US government agencies responsible for public health and safety have
worked together and in connection with WHO to monitor developments and identify research
needs related to RF biological effects.
How does FCC Audit Cell Phone RF?
After FCC grants permission for a particular cellular telephone to be marketed, FCC will
occasionally conduct “post-grant” testing to determine whether production versions of the
phone are being produced to conform with FCC regulatory requirements. The manufacturer of a
cell phone that does not meet FCC's regulatory requirements may be required to remove the cell
phone from use and to refund the purchase price or provide a replacement phone, and may be
subject to civil or criminal penalties. In addition, if the cell phone presents a risk of injury to the
user, FDA may also take regulatory action. The most important post-grant test, from a
consumer's perspective, is testing of the RF emissions of the phone. FCC measures the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of the phone, following a very rigorous testing protocol. As is true for
nearly any scientific measurement, there is a possibility that the test measurement may be less
than or greater than the actual RF emitted by the phone. This difference between the RF test
measurement and actual RF emission is because test measurements are limited by instrument
294
Section 1: Getting Started
294 1A: Setting Up Service
Safety
accuracy, because test measurement and actual use environments are different, and other
variable factors. This inherent variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.” When FCC
conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, FCC takes into account any measurement
uncertainty to when determining whether regulatory action is appropriate. This approach
ensures that when FCC takes regulatory action, it will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.
FDA scientific staff reviewed the methodology used by FCC to measure cell phone RF, and
agreed it is an acceptable approach, given our current understanding of the risks presented by
cellular phone RF emissions. RF emissions from cellular phones have not been shown to present
a risk of injury to the user when the measured SAR is less than the safety limits set by FCC (an
SAR of 1.6 w/kg). Even in a case where the maximum measurement uncertainty permitted by
current measurement standards was added to the maximum permissible SAR, the resulting SAR
value would be well below any level known to produce an acute effect. Consequently, FCC's
approach with measurement uncertainty will not result in consumers being exposed to any
known risk from the RF emitted by cellular telephones.
FDA will continue to monitor studies and literature reports concerning acute effects of cell
phone RF, and concerning chronic effects of long-term exposure to cellular telephone RF (that
is, the risks from using a cell phone for many years). If new information leads FDA to believe that
a change to FCC's measurement policy may be appropriate, FDA will contact FCC and both
agencies will work together to develop a mutually-acceptable approach.
