Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published information for consumers
relating to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication
includes the following information:
Do cell phones pose a health hazard?
Many people are concerned that cell phone radiation will cause cancer or other serious
health hazards. The weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell phones with any
health problems.
Cell phones emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Over the past 15 years,
scientists have conducted hundreds of studies looking at the biological effects of the
radio frequency energy emitted by cell phones. While some researchers have reported
biological changes associated with RF energy, these studies have failed to be replicated.
The majority of studies published have failed to show an association between exposure
to radio frequency from a cell phone and health problems.
The low levels of RF cell phones emit while in use are in the microwave frequency range.
They also emit RF at substantially reduced time intervals 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.
Read this
Health and Safety Information 2
The biological effects of radio frequency 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.
The energy levels associated with radio frequency energy, including both radio waves
and microwaves, are not great enough to cause 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.
While RF energy does not ionize particles, large amounts can increase body
temperatures and cause tissue damage. 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.
Research Results to Date: Is there a connection between RF and certain health problems?
The results of most studies conducted to date say no. In addition, attempts to replicate
and confirm the few studies that have shown a connection have failed.
The scientific community at large therefore believes that the weight of scientific evidence
does not show an association between exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) from cell
phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community has supported
additional research to address gaps in knowledge. Some of these studies are described
below.
Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to determine whether cell phones
increase the risk of head and neck cancer. A report published in the International Journal
of Epidemiology (June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 people
with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) and a similar number of healthy controls.
3
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this study,
most people had no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell phones. For people
with the heaviest use of cell phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every day,
for over 10 years) the study suggested a slight increase in brain cancer. However, the
authors determined that biases and errors prevented any conclusions being drawn from
this data. Additional information about Interphone can be found at
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf.
Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not answer all questions
about cell phone safety. Additional research is being conducted around the world, and
the FDA continues to monitor developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large group of
people to determine if there are any health issues linked to long-term exposure to radio
frequency energy from cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow approximately
300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for 20 to 30 years. Additional information about
the COSMOS study can be found at
http://www.ukcosmos.org/index.html
Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship between exposure to
radio frequency energy from communication technologies including cell phones and
brain cancer in young people. This is an international multi-center study involving 14
European and non-European countries. Additional information about MOBI-KIDS can be
found at
http://www.creal.cat/programes-recerca/en_projectes-creal/view.php?ID=39.
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United States
to detect any change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in
risk for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use has been
common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, the overall

age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additional information about
SEER can be found at
http://seer.cancer.gov/
Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the cell phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
•
Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal emitted
by cell phones;
•
Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and
•
Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone use
and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards continue to
adequately protect the public.

Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other Accessories
Steps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
If there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) from cell phones 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 RF exposure.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head and the cell phone.
Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and various types of
body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and holsters. Combinations of these can be
used to reduce RF energy absorption from cell phones.
5
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone is held away from the
head in the user's hand or in approved body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in
the U.S. are required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements when used against
the head and against the body.
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones, there
is no reason to believe that hands-free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used for
convenience and comfort. They are also required by law in many states if you want to use
your phone while driving.
Cell Phone Accessories that Claim to Shield the Head from RF Radiation
Because there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions from cell phones, there
is no reason to believe that accessories which claim to shield the head from those
emissions reduce 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
“hands-free” kits, these so-called “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.
Children and Cell Phones
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to any users of cell phones from RF
exposure, including children and teenagers. The steps adults can take to reduce RF
exposure apply to children and teenagers as well.
•
Reduce the amount of time spent on the cell phone;
•
Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between the head and the cell phone.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be
discouraged from using cell phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report from the
United Kingdom made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report, a group
of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes
Health and Safety Information 6
brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit cell phone use by children
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard
exists.

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
7
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (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.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the
rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum reported value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests
for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC. For body-worn operation, this phone has been
tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the mobile device a minimum of 1.0 cm from the
body.
Health and Safety Information 8
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The
maximum SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC are:
•
Simultaneous Transmission Head: 0.96 W/kg
•
Simultaneous Transmission Body-worn: 1.39 W/kg
The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website:
http://www.samsung.com/sar
SAR information on this and other model phones can be accessed online on the FCC's
website through
to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number which 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 FCC ID number for a particular
phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or
maximum SAR for a particular phone. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at
