out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996 , the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
ANSI C95 .1 (1992 ) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996 )
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and
industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95 .1).
