Cell Phone Radiation

Cell Phone Radiation Around 50% of radiation emitted from a cell phone can be absorbed into the head and body. Specific Absorption Rate SAR is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency energy (radiation) absorbed by the head and body when using a radio transmitter device such as a cell phone. It has units of watts per kilogram. SAR LIMITS* 1.6mng 2.0.ng 1.6.n. * In the United States, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) limit for public exposure from cell phones is a SAR level of 1.8 watta per kilogram (1.6 W/kg), averaged over 1 gram of tisaue. Near Field Radiation vs. Far Field Radiation Carcinogenic Hazard Near Field s1 wavelength. The World Health Organization now classifies cell phone radiation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans", in the same category as lead, engine Transition Zone exhaust and chloroform. Far Field starts at 2 wavelengths and goes out to infinity. Cell Phone Radlatlon Radio Frequency Radiation (How Cell Phones Communicate) Cell phones emit a radio frequency (RF) radiation when communicating with cell towers. Cell phone radiation is a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation travels in space in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. When radio waves pass an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. This can Everyday Radlatlon be detected and transformed into sound or other signals that carry information. Where Does Cell Phone In the electromagnetic Radiation fall on the spectrum, cell phone radiation falls between FM radio and Electromagnetic Spectrum? microwave oven.
