Nothing scientifically can seriously explain why the regulation surrounding the level of the specific absorption rate (SAR) located at the level of the limbs (thighs, hands) of 4 W/kg is twice higher than that of the head (2 W/kg) and trunk (2 W/kg). This is one of the many anomalies that surround the SAR indicator supposed to protect our health. Moreover, the ANSES considers since its reports of 2016 and 2019, the SAR as a bad indicator to protect the health of users.

The SAR displayed by the manufacturer is greatly reduced

Can we trust the SAR value presented by the manufacturer in its leaflet or advertising? Our answer is clearly no! And we have been able to demonstrate this for five years through the various revelations of the Phonegate scandal.
