5. Electromagnetic Hazards
 The electromagnetic hazard can be divided into
two parts:
Thermal
health
hazards
Non-
thermal
health
hazards
Electromagnetic
Hazards

6. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
The rate at which radiation is absorbed by the human body is measured by
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).

7. Health Effects
 Headache
 Sleep disturbances
 Sickness
 Amnesia
 Loss of mental attention
 Fatigue
 Dizziness

9. What we can do?
 Save your lengthy phone
conversations for a telephone
(landline).
 Change to a mobile phone that
has its antenna outside the vehicle.
 Use a headset and place the
phone away from your body.
 Find out how much SAR energy is
emitted from the mobile phone.

10. Conclusion
 There are some evidences that
microwave exposure from mobile
phones causes cancer.
 There are some conclusive evidence
that such exposure accelerates the
growth of an already-existing
cancer.
 More research on this issue needs
to be carried out.
