SAR Value and Mobiles | Truth and Motivation

In the past few years cellphone users became smarter along with the phones. In the very beginning phones were used as just a way of fast communication but today’s users more likely to have PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) in their pocket than just a merely mobile. And in the process of getting smarter, today’s mobiles must have tons of features and functionalities. As a result, they tend to Heat a lot easily. With the on demand increasing features, their Radiation levels are also increasing. And now it has become a serious issue of users physical safety throughout the world.

So, What is SAR Value?

Cellphones emit RadioFrequency (RF) energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation, from their antennas. And Specific Absorpation Rate (SAR)  is a measure of the rate at which this energy is absobed by human bodies or by tissues when exposed to that RF. Its maseaused by the Units of watts per Kilograms (W/Kg).

It has some other divisions.

1. Whole Body SAR
2. Partial Body SAR
3. head SAR
4. local SAR

There are many easy ways to find SAR information for cellphones. I’ve listed some of them…

1. Dial *#07# from your dialpad it will tell you your devices Sar Value.
2. Check the phone handbook or user manual, look under safety or specifications
3. Search the manufacturer’s web site for your phone model and SAR .it is usually listed under safety, or product specifications.
4. Use Google to search for your phone model and SAR
5. Contact the manufacturer and ask for the SAR information
6. Check the web site of the government regulator in your country

From 1st Sept. 2013, only the mobile handsets with revised SAR value of 1.6 W/kg would be permitted to be manufactured or imported in India.

In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sets the exposure limit for the general public to be an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) also.

I think that much data was enough to make you aware. Now do some homework before buying a mobile. If you find this useful why not share it with friends? You can comment below if you want to add something.
