Résumé

Le niveau d’exposition des personnes aux champs électromagnétiques émis par les téléphones mobiles est caractérisé par ledas (Débit d’absorption spécifique) ousar (Specific Absorption Rate). Cette valeur correspond à la puissance absorbée par unité de masse de tissus. Elle est utilisée pour définir les restrictions de base dans le cadre des limites d’exposition des personnes aux champs électromagnétiques. Les laboratoires de recherche universitaires et industriels français, réunis au sein du sous-projet 1 decomobio ont contribué à l’élaboration des normes internationales pour la certification des téléphones mobiles.

Abstract

Human exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones is characterised by the Specific Absorption Rate (sar). This value corresponds to therf power absorbed by unitary mass of the equivalent tissue. It represents the basic restriction used to define limit of human exposure torf electromagnetic fields. Academic and industrial labs have contributed through thecomobio project to define international standards for mobile phones certification.
