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.
