Radio-frequency radiation safety and health: Reassessing exposure safety requirements for mobile phones

The CTIA, an organization representing the wireless communications industry, stated in a news release [1] that “CTIA welcomes the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) continued careful oversight of this issue,” with respect to the FCC's response to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on mobile-phone safety [2]. The GAO recommended that the FCC reassess and, if appropriate, change its current RF exposure safety rules. The GAO also mentioned that the FCC is working on a draft document that has the potential of addressing the GAO's recommendations.
