Cell phone radiation levels
By CNET staff (updated June 2, 2006)

What it all means
According to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), SAR or specific absorption rate is "a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed by the body." For a phone to pass FCC certification, that phone's maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6W/kg (watts per kilogram). In Europe, the level is capped at 2W/kg. The SAR level listed in our chart represents the maximum SAR level with the phone next to the ear, a level obtained through required FCC tests.

It's important to note that in publishing this list are we in no way implying that cell phone use is or isn't harmful to your health. While research abounds and some tests have shown that cell phone radiofrequency (RF) could accelerate cancer in laboratory animals, the studies have not been replicated. Cell phones can affect internal pacemakers, but there is not conclusive or demonstrated evidence that they cause adverse health affects in humans. So in short, the jury is still out, research is ongoing, and we will continue to monitor its results.

wow,good stuff...i wonder how long did it take for them 2 do this...

so if we r using hp, we r making our time life short??

I feel that they use the word "radiation" here is too strong....

what so strong about it

maybe you are thinking of uranium & plutonium radiation

do remember anything that gives out heat it also give out radiation

heck! even your body release heat it several ways

one of them is radiation

How many watt for your h/p when you transmitt? 0.5watt, dont tell me that 0.5watt will get yourself radiated. If there is a case, then you will get sunburn when you are standing under moonlight for hours. I personally feel that expose to RF field is the better words.

Just by their basic operation, cell phones have to emit a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. If you've read How Cell Phones Work, then you know that cell phones emit signals via radio waves, which are comprised of radio-frequency (RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation.

so how to reduce radiation?? does using headset helps??

but no matter how we make it far...we still have the phone stick to our body when we r in shooping mall or sumtin....tats the use of walkman phone wat....
