Abstract

Overview

The research provides an in-depth analysis of how prolonged exposure to 4G mobile phone radiation can affect human head tissues, specifically the brain, eyes, and skin. The study uses a phantom model of the human head for simulations.

Findings

• Study Parameters: The phantom head model was exposed to 4G radiation for durations exceeding 600 seconds, with temperature variations measured using sensitive thermocouple probes.
• Results: Small but significant rises in tissue temperatures were recorded alongside specific absorption rates (SAR). For instance, the rise in brain temperature was found to be 0.10 ± 0.05 °C at a depth of 30 mm, with an estimated SAR of 0.66 ± 0.35 W/kg.
• Eye and Skin Impact: The eye socket experienced temperature increases of 0.03 ± 0.02 °C (SAR 0.15 ± 0.08 W/kg), and the skin temperature rose by 0.14 ± 0.05 °C (SAR 0.66 ± 0.42 W/kg).

Conclusion

Although the recorded SAR values are within the safety limits of 2 W/kg as per international guidelines, the cumulative effects of extended mobile phone use pose potential risks to human health that should not be underestimated.
