Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), an independent scientific organization with a
safety margin to protect all people regardless their age
and health condition. Such guidelines use a unit of
measurement called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) –
actual absorption.
As recommended by ICNIRP, the border value of SAR
for portable equipment is 2,0 watts per kilogram (W/kg).
SAR value is determined at the maximum transmit
power; the actual SAR value while the product is working
is usually lower than the indicated level. Such
discrepancies result from automatic changes in device
power necessary to ensure that the device operates at a
minimum power level required to be connected with
network.
Although SAR values might vary for different models of
phones or even for different positions of the same model,
they are all compliant with regulations pertaining to safe
level of radiation.
According to WHO current research, there is no need to
apply any special restrictions in using portable devices.
According to WHO, in order to reduce radiation, a length
of conversation should be reduced, or headset or
speakerphone should be used, or the phone should not
be held in proximity to head or body.
