The purpose of these workshops has been to discuss scientific issues related to RF exposure from wireless communications technology from an international perspective.

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.

Why has the FCC adopted guidelines for RF exposure?

Can local and state governmental bodies establish limits for RF exposure?

Some studies have also examined the possibility of a link between RF exposure and cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration has further information on this topic with respect to RF exposure from mobile phones at the following Web site: www.fda.gov/cellphones/ .

In the United States, the FCC has adopted and used recognized safety guidelines for evaluating RF environmental exposure since 1985.

The guide explains the RF exposure limits themselves, how they are derived, their margin of safety and how exposure is calculated.

The more expensive RF monitors typically also have a data logging functionality that can log the RF exposure of a worker over time.
