On the effects of the electromagnetic radiation in human health by using mobile telephone in Mexico

Abstract

In this paper it is shown the experimental measurements made of the generated radiation by mobile phones, and the corresponding conclusions when comparing them with the values provided by the manufacturers. The so-called specific absorption rate (SAR) is calculated from the amount of electromagnetic energy emitted by mobile phones and absorbed by the human body. It was found that the measurements obtained are within the allowed values, which suggests that the radio frequency emitted by these mobile phones does not have negative effects on human health. These devices have a SAR value provided by the manufacturers, but such values are not completely reliable However, the possibility that its use may cause other harm to human health is not ruled out. The measurements and experimental results were part of the development of a project at a Public University in Mexico City. Â
