  Cell phone radiation chart - CNET reviews 

  http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6602_7-5020355-1.html?tag=lnav

  What it all means According to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), specific absorption rate , or SAR, is "a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is ... absorbed by the body." For a phone to pass FCC certification, that phone's maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6W/kg (watts per kilogram). In Europe, the level is capped at 2W/kg while Canada allows a maximum of 1.6W/kg. The SAR level listed in our charts represents the highest SAR level with the phone next to the ear as tested by the FCC. Keep in mind that it is possible for the SAR level to vary between different transmission bands and that different testing bodies can obtain different results. Also, it's possible for results to vary between different editions of the same phone (such as a handset that's offered by multiple carriers). It's important to note that in publishing this list are we in no way implying that cell phone use is or isn't harmful to your health. While research abou   [More...] [Less...]

  Looking into the possible health effects of mobile phones, base stations, electricity power lines and pylons. - The IET 

  http://www.theiet.org/factfiles/bioeffects/index.cfm

  Position statement on the possible health effects of mobile phones & electricity distribution Every two years the IET publishes its position statement on the possible biological and health effects of low ... level electromagnetic fields and radiation principally attributable to power lines, mobile phones and associated base stations. The paper is authored by the IET's Biological Effects Policy Advisory Group. Possible health effects of mobile phones & electricity distribution factfile The IET's Biological Effects Policy Advisory Group has produced a factfile on the possible health effects of mobile phones, power lines and base stations. This factfile is designed to aid public understanding of this important and sensitive subject through explaining key aspects of the science, technology and terminology used.   [More...] [Less...]
