99 developed with the advice of the 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.
100 Safety 5. 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.
101 from experts in government, industry , and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts with independent investigators.
102 Safety Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental T echniques”, sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users.
103 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 distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
104 Safety interference be found to occur , the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem. 12. Where can I find additional information? For additional information, please refer to the following resources: FDA web page on wireless phones (http://www .
