Empirical study on specific absorption rate of head tissues due to induced heating of 4G cell phone radiation

Abstract

Overview

The ongoing research investigates the impact of extended mobile phone usage and the corresponding electromagnetic radiation on human body tissues, delineating concerns at the macromolecular level.

Findings

• The study incorporates a phantom simulating human head components such as skin, skull, and brain for examining the thermal effects of prolonged mobile phone radiation exposure.
• Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) and temperature variations were specially monitored with thermocouple probes at targeted brain, eye, and skin tissues. SAR values, despite being within the internationally recommended safety limits, demonstrate temperature increases in these tissues.
• Measured temperature rises were minimally 0.10 +/- 0.05 degrees C in the brain, 0.14 +/- 0.05 degrees C in the skin, and 0.03 +/- 0.02 degrees C in the eye socket corresponding to their SAR values.

Conclusion

Even though the SAR values fall within safe exposure limits, the gradual increase in mobile phone usage frequency and duration poses potential cumulative health risks that require attention and further investigation.
