Watchdog worries over electromagnetic waves, Apple disagrees
SAR is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by a human body when exposed to a radio frequency electromagnetic field. The sort of thing that is pumped out by, say, a mobile phone. It is measured in watts of power per kilogram.state that the localized SAR for the head or trunk – holding the phone in close contact – must be 2 W/kg and the value for limbs – holding the phone further away or keeping it in a jacket or bag – must be 4 W/kg.
The acceptable values differ around the world. In the case of the EU, the regulations are designed to protect the health of consumers and workers alike amid concerns over the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. The ANFR has, therefore, requested a halt to sales of the iPhone 12 in the French market and called on Apple to fix the problem. If the company cannot, the ANFR has stated that the model must be recalled.
