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.
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 RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
