FIND YOUR MOBILE PHONE'S SAR...


SAR (specific absorption rate)is an indication of the amount of ra diation that is absorbed into a head whilst using a cellular phone, the higher the SAR rating the more radiation that is absorbed into the head.

A
SAR value is a measure of the maxim
um energy absorbed by a unit of mass of exposed tissue of a person using a mobile phone, over a given time or more simply the power absorbed per unit mass. SAR values are usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) in either 1g or 10g of tissue.

HOW SAFE ARE MOBILE PHONES? There is concern at the moment over the use of cellular phones and their possible health implications. All the research is inconclusive so the bottom line is, cellular phones may be a potential health hazard.
