measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of
tablets. Many factors affect this measurement, such as
the angle at which the tablet is held, or which model of
tablet is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of tablet RF?
The 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electro Magnetic 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
30
world. The project has also helped develop a series of
public information documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) to do
research on wireless device safety. The FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-
funded research is conducted through contracts with
independent investigators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device
users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment
of additional research needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency
energy exposure I can get by using my tablet?
All tablets sold in the United States must comply with
