Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the
Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques," sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for
measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of wireless phone
users. The test method uses a tissue-
simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is
expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at
different laboratories on the same phone.
SAR is the measurement of the amount of
energy absorbed in tissue, either by the
whole body or a small part of the body. It
is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g)
of matter. This measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless phone
complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radio frequency energy
from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products —
and at this point we do not know that
there is — it is probably very small. But if
you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple
steps to minimize your exposure to radio
frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key
factor in how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone will reduce
RF exposure. If you must conduct
extended conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could place more
distance between your body and the
source of the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a headset and
carry the wireless phone away from your
body or use a wireless phone connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific
data do not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure from
these products, you can use measures
like those described above to reduce your
RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to
radio frequency energy (RF), the
