guidelines under normal conditions of use. Such exclusions are 
not exclusions from compliance, but, rather, exclusions from 
routine evaluation. The FCCs policies on RF exposure and 
categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of the 
FCCs Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].
7. How can I obtain the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for 
my wireless phone?
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United...

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...

with making false and unsubstantiated claims. According to 
FTC, these defendants lacked a reasonable basis to substantiate 
their claim.
10. 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...

11. 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...

12. 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.
13. 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...

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 FCCs Office of 
Engineering and Technology...

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.
17. What is FDAs role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-
emitting consumer products such as wireless...

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...

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...

FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health 
Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) 
Project since its inception in 1996. An inf luential 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.
