Abstract

Whole body specific absorption rate (SAR) is calculated for different frequencies as a function of distance from transmission tower. Comparing with safe limits of exposure as standardized by different international agencies, safe distance of residence from transmission tower is determined. The SAR for fat at a distance of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 m is found to be harmful for 27.12-10000 MHz, above 100, 1500, 5000, 8000 and 10,000 MHz, respectively. Harmful range for cortical bone, spongy bone and skeletal muscle is also calculated.
