India is the second largest country in the world in terms of mobile phone users next to China and with very huge number of users there might occur, several health hazards with the radiations being emitted from these phones. As a step to take care of these health hazards, the Indian Government has instructed mobile phone manufacturers to provide health warnings and radiation tags for displaying the amount of radiation emitted from every mobile to educate the users and control health hazards. In the process the government has asked manufacturers to display the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) value information for every handset in its manual and the manufacturer’s website.
India’s SAR limit has been 2w/kg till date and has decided in reducing it to 1.6w/kg. Several safety precautions to the mobile users like reduce voice calls and use SMS’s, ensure that the mobile has low Specific Absorption Rate, don’t attempt to use a mobile phone when the signal quality is weak, keep mobiles 15cms away from implants for people with active medical implants and avoid direct contact of mobile with your ear instead use a Bluetooth speaker of low power. The mobile phone manufacturers were asked to even provide these precautions in the user manual of every handset.
