SAR value - affects, how to check in your phone

Many people don't care before buying a cellphone. They only check the price and other feature and just spent money.

One more and most important thing is SAR value of a phone which should be seen and keeping in mind that it should be as low as possible.

Here you can read about SAR from wikipedia page (Courtesy wikipedia)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate

******************************************************************************
Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field; although, it can also refer to absorption of other forms of energy by tissue, including ultrasound.[1] It is defined as the power absorbed per mass of tissue and has units ofwatts per kilogram (W/kg).[2]
SAR is usually averaged either over the whole body, or over a small sample volume (typically 1 g or 10 g of tissue). The value cited is then the maximum level measured in the body part studied over the stated volume or mass.
A study of Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) [3][verification needed] lead to a discovery of mobile phone use near human heads and a link to whether the users wear glasses or not. The study concluded that wearing glasses may cause a higher risk of a health hazard to eyes that are exposed to radiation emitted from mobile phones.

How to check your phone SAR value

To check SAR value of your phone please dial USSD code *#07#.
if results shows SAR below 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) then it is OK otherwise you are on high risk and should think about your health.

Also there is a good link to read - Courtesy cancer.gov

Hope this will create awareness and you would be more cautious to check SAR values also rather than more focusing on price and other feature because it directly affects your health.
