The SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a unified measurement of how much the electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the human body tissues whilst using a mobile phone. The higher the SAR, the more the radiation absorbed by body mass. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) recommends the SAR limit of 2.0 W / kg in 10 g body mass, while the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) of United States recommends the SAR limit of 1.6 W / kg in 1 g of tissue (the ICNIRP recommendation may suite for Sri Lanka, as the mobile communication services are based on european technologies).

The SAR information is not freely available and this is varies with the mobile phone manufacturers (of course, within the recommendation based on the EMI shielding). This is might be a major factor more over the cost while purchasing a mobile phone brand, and this information can be accessed through the corresponding manufacturers SAR datasheet.

The non-branded mobile phones, basically the mobile phones comes from the Chinese local market (there are genuine brands also come from China) have no SAR rating specified, and they might meet the recommendation of neither ICNIRP nor FCC. This may cause many forms of health hazards to human body.

Even though, we choose the mobile phone which falls in the SAR recommendation, the continuous usage of the mobile on traffic mode (when processing call) will transmit around 2 W (typically) of power for the signal to reach the base station (tower - in simple terms), and this causes the considerable absorption by human body continuously. Thus, better to reduce the exposure to the mobile, unless it’s really necessary

The followings may lead to some ways where you can reduce the exposure of mobile with human body:

*.Make calls, when it really necessary
*.Make your calls short
*.Make your communication in text, if possible
*.Try to avoid the usage of mobile when the signal level is low, because mobile try to transmit on its maximum power
*.Try to use the mobile in outdoors rather than indoor
*.Keep your mobile as far as from head (think a suitable way!)
*.Try to avoid the mobile during pregnancy
*.Try to keep the mobile away from infants
*.Switch off your mobile when it is not necessary

The mobile is an essential medium of communication on this era, but also think about your health !!

I thought as much. Mobiles are always radio active. Anythin human always has its own demerits... Thanks bro. Very useful.
