What Is The Radiation Output Of Your Mobile Phone? Know Here

SIMRAN RAJPAL 

Smartphones have a lot of advantages, but did you realize that they also release radiation?

Know the limit of mobile radiation in India. Mobile radiation can also be harmful to one's health.

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, is the unit of measurement for the radiation that a phone emits.

Every phone has a SAR value listed on the box; however, if the box is missing, a code can be used to determine the radiation intensity of the phone.

Open the dial pad, dial *#07#, to see how much radiation your phone is releasing. The SAR value of your phone will show up as a pop-up notification as soon as you dial the code.

The maximum SAR value allowed in India is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg); if your phone radiates at this level or higher, it may be harmful to your health.
