You might have heard that excessive use of cell phones can be harmful to the body. It is true, to an extent. Strong Mobile Radiations can be dangerous some times.
So, the SAR Value is a Major factor to consider. Now you may wonder what is SAR Value & Mobile Radiation?
What is Mobile Radiation?
Every mobile phone has an Antenna, which sends and receives signals from the mobile towers. These signals are called electromagnetic waves.
The Antenna does not receive 100% of the waves as they are transferred wirelessly. Some waves are dispersed in the environment. The dispersed waves are called Mobile Radiation, and they are measured in SAR
What is SAR Value?
SAR Stands for Specific Absorption Rate. The Rate by which your body tissues absorb the radiation is called the Specific Absorption Rate.
How Much Mobile Radiation is Safe?
The standard safe SAR value is 1.6 W/kg. It means 1 Kg of your body can absorb about 1.6 Watts. Anything more than that can be harmful to your body tissues (aka your health).
Therefore, when purchasing a mobile, you should check whether the SAR value is less than 1.6 W/Kg or not. However, the Standard SAR value varies in several counties. Ex: The Standard SAR value in Europe is 2.0 W/Kg.
How to Check SAR Value?
You can find the SAR value in the mobile specs or on the Mobile Phone Box. Almost all mobile brands follow the SAR standards. But, you should consider buying the mobile with the lowest SAR value.
Here are some mobile phones with the least SAR Value.
Here are some iPhones with the least SAR Value.
The SAR Value is calculated in W/kg. So, even the Standard Value can be harmful for kids. The upcoming 5G Technology Phones might contain a higher SAR Value.
Moderate use of Mobile may not cause much damage. But, prevent over-using it. However, aged persons, kids, babies, people who had head surgery, pregnant women, and people with neurological issues should use it less.
