Discover your mobile's radiation level
It's easy to be told all the fancy features in a mobile phone. You can choose the VGA camera, EDGE high-speed data and a pop-port USB, or perhaps video streaming, an MP3 player and mobile internet.
If you're like me, most technology causes you to scratch your head and shrug. I just want a mobile that works well and won't cost me a fortune. Which should be easy, but there's been another thing on my checklist that makes the choice a little harder: the desire to know the specific absorption rate, or SAR, of the phone - in other words, how much energy from radio frequencies my body is absorbing. The World Health Organisation recently announced it found no evidence - in 15 years of scientific studies - that exposure to radio frequencies from transmitters (such as mobile phone towers) increased a person's cancer risk. It has also said "present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile phones".
