Abstract
In the present paper, the elecrtromagnetic field (EMF) strength and specific absorption rate(SAR) have been calculated in close proximity to mobile phones base stations. The induced SAR inside human body tissues, particularly in fat and muscles due to mobile phone base station frequency (900 MHz) have been evaluated. The calculated values of SAR have been compared with standard limitsgiven by various international authorities like Federal Communication Commission (FCC), International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA/INIRC), International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), etc.
