Measurement of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) on mobile phones - Comobio project contribution to international standards

Human exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones is characterised by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). This value corresponds to the RF power absorbed by unitary mass of the equivalent tissue. It represents the basic restriction used to define limit of human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields. Academic and industrial labs have contributed through the COMOBIO project to define international standards for mobile phones certification.
