Background:

While to many still PURE SPECULATION, some scientists theorize that cellphones may interfere with our cells' DNA mechanisms despite the devices' minimal tissue heating effect. 

• Some labs evaluate the phone's effect on tissue at varying doses, called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). 
  
  

• A device's SAR (measured in Watts per Kilogram, W/kg) is a reliable measure of its ability to cause cell damage and is a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed by the body. 
  
  

• The lower the SAR, the better for you!
  
  

• The SAR will vary according to the type of tissue through which the radiation is conducted, such as bone, muscle or fat.
  
  

• In the case of cellphones, SAR is highest at the "hot spot'' where the cell phone is held to the user's ear. 
  
  

• The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has imposed a maximum SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg on currently-marketed cell phones based on the scientific evidence presently available, which incorporates significant margins of safety to ensure the health of the general public. 
  
  

• The SAR level listed in our charts represents the maximum SAR level with the phone next to the ear.
  
  

• Many phone manufacturers say they will indicate SAR levels on their phones from mid-2001
  

SAR Levels Test Results:

Notes:
These recent results from the UKs National Physical Laboratory showing SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) emissions for digital GSM 900 and/or 1800 Mhz phones, as well as those from US FCC Labs for analogue and digital US-based phones. 

They show the maximum SAR level with the phone next to the ear. Please note that the US FCC did not put on their website SAR data on phones certified before 1998.
