  • Abstract
    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. Only time will tell what the FCC may possibly do, or whether or not it is going forward to change its current RF exposure safety rules. If the FCC does decide to change its current RF exposure safety rules, it would do well to note that since 1998, the scientific progress made in computational dosimetry has been exceptional.
