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,...

2. How is radiofrequency energy used?
Probably the most important use of RF energy is for telecommu-
nications. 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...

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 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...

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...

6.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...
