We won’t leave the house without it. We panic when we can’t find it. We scurry to recharge it when the battery is low. We feel empty without it in our hands or nearby. We are constantly checking it. We are more attached to it than we realize. Our cell phones are becoming an extension of our bodies. Literally. They could be giving us cancer-inducing radiation.
There are two types of electromagnetic radiation:
Ionizing – high frequency and high energy (x-rays, cosmic rays, etc.)
Non-ionizing – low frequency and low energy (radio frequency, power frequency, etc.)
Cell phones transmit a form of non-ionizing radiation from their antennas. This transmittance is how wireless calls and WiFi connections occur. Body tissues close to it absorb this energy.
The FCC created guidelines to measure the radiation in tissue by using the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR set a maximum for legal cell phone radiation at 1.6 watts of energy absorbed per kilogram of body mass. This test uses the thermal effects of phone radiation.
The limit is 1.6, but some phones have come pretty close.
Motorola Droid Maxx – SAR 1.54
Motorola Droid Ultra – SAR 1.54
Motorola Moto E – SAR 1.5
Alcatel One Touch Evolve – SAR 1.49
Huawei Vitria – SAR 1.49
Kyocera Hydro Edge – SAR 1.48
