Safety Assessment and Uncertainty Quantification of Electromagnetic Radiation from Mobile Phones to the Human Head
Abstract
Abstract Summary
Overview
As mobile communication technology continues to evolve, the complexity of mobile phones increases, making the study of electromagnetic radiation effects on the human head crucial. This research establishes a model for daily mobile phone usage.
Methodology
A simulation model was developed to assess the safety of human head exposure to mobile phones. The research utilized the generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) method to create a surrogate model for the specific absorption rate (SAR) at various frequencies, incorporating parameter uncertainty quantification (UQ).
Significant Findings
- The gPC method proved cost-effective and accurate in evaluating SAR.
- The SAR level is significantly influenced by the materials used in the mobile phone's shell.
Conclusion
The findings can inform the design of electromagnetic materials used in mobile phones, enhancing safety regarding human head exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
