SAR means Specific Absorption Rate. It measures how much radio-frequency energy (radiation) is absorbed by our bodies from cell phones and other electronic devices.
More simply, the SAR value should tell how much radiation is in your body.
In the United States, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) requires that phones sold have a SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg).
In the EU, the CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) requires a different form of testing to measure radiation levels.
It also sets a different standard of what is acceptable for our bodies to absorb. Both techniques have serious flaws.
The major problem is that the test does not consider real-life situations in terms of SAR exposure.
In the test, a device emits the maximum amount of radiation it can. This provides useful but not complete information.
What is more important is to understand how much radiation we absorb from our devices throughout the day, not at a specific time.
In addition, a critical component of the test appears to be manipulated. During the test, the device is 1.5cm (0.6") away from the body.
This is unrealistic. If you wear tight-fitting clothing, your phone is much closer to your body than the test assumes.
Another factor the test does not consider is that we touch our devices many times throughout the day while frequently bringing them into close proximity with our heads and other parts of the body.
A test where the device is squeezed against the body would be more accurate.
One of the world's most renowned universities, published research on the connection between cancer and mobile phone radiation.
A July 2021 meta-research from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health revealed a strong link between mobile phone EMF radiation and tumors, particularly in the brain.
Radiation protection is best achieved through prevention! We call it The WaveLess Method: The app intelligently warns you or blocks internet connections when SAR radiation values and heat levels are high.
It does it at all moments of dangerous exposure, without interfering with your digital life.
