Smartphones could put you at risk

The latest range of smartphones could put you in risk of "serious" harm, the makers of Blackberry said.

With consumers becoming more conscious about the levels of radiation emitted from their phones, with Telstra planning to publish comparison data on mobiles' "specific absorption rate" (SAR), The Daily Telegraph reports.

The move will allow customers to directly compare SAR levels between phones. At the moment, information on the levels is not produced by the regulatory authority, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)

Apple's popular iPhone 4 also risks exceeding exposure guidelines in certain circumstances.

The actual guidelines are not set by the ACMA, but by the The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency

The limits set in Australia are 2 watts per kilogram of tissue, higher than the 1.6W/kg in the US.

Research in Motion, the creators of Blackberry, suggest in the user manual for the Blackberry Torch that owners use "approved holster with an integrated belt clip or maintain a distance" of 25mm between the "BlackBerry device and your body while the BlackBerry device is transmitting".

"Use of body-worn accessories, other than RIM-approved holsters with an integrated belt clip, might cause your BlackBerry device to exceed radio frequency (RF) exposure standards. The long-term effects of exceeding RF exposure standards might present a risk of serious harm."

And the Apple iPhone 4 guide says: "iPhone's SAR measurement may exceed [US] . . . exposure guidelines for body-worn operation if positioned less than 15mm from the body (eg, when carrying iPhone in your pocket)."

Telstra's electromagnetic energy co-ordinator Mike Wood told the Daily Telegraph: "Technically speaking, under the worst-case scenario, you might be in breach of the SAR limit."

The phones were still safe, Mr Wood said.

Australian Centre for RF Bioeffects Research executive director, University of Wollongong Professor Rodney Croft, told The Daily Telegraph: "Even if it is over the limit there is no evidence . . . that it would cause harm unless it was at least 50 times the limit.

最新的智能手机的范围可以把“严重”伤害风险，你的黑莓机制造商说。

随着消费者越来越对他们的电话发出的辐射水平与Telstra规划意识上发布手机'“比吸收率”（香港特区），每日电讯报报道的比较数据。

此举将允许客户直接比较各手机SAR水平。目前，在各级信息是不是由监管机构，澳洲通讯及媒体管理局（ACMA）

苹果广受欢迎的iPhone 4也超过风险在某些情况下暴露指引。

实际的准则没有设置通讯及媒体管理局，而是由澳大利亚辐射防护与核安全机构

在澳大利亚设定的限制，每2瓦组织公斤，比美国1.6W/kg高。

RIM公司的黑莓机的创造者，建议在火炬为黑莓用户手册，业主使用“许可的，带有一体式皮带夹皮套或保持距离”之间的“黑莓设备和你的身体为25mm，而BlackBerry设备发送“。

“利用随身携带的其他配件比一体式皮带夹RIM公司批准的枪套，可能会导致BlackBerry设备超出射频（RF）暴露标准。超出射频暴露标准的长期影响可能造成危险的严重的危害。“

和苹果iPhone 4指导说：“iPhone的SAR的测量可能会超过[美国]随身携带的运作准则，如果曝光不足的机构（例如，当你的口袋里携带iPhone）15毫米的位置。。。。”

Telstra的电磁能量统筹的迈克伍德告诉每日电讯报：“从技术上讲，在最坏的情况下，你可能会在特区限制的行为。”

当时的手机仍然安全，伍德说。

澳大利亚射频生物效应研究中心执行主任，卧龙岗大学教授罗德尼克罗夫特，告诉每日电讯报：“即使是超过限制有没有证据证明它会造成伤害，除非它是至少50倍。。。 。
