Harmful effects of mobile phone waves on blood tissues of the human body

Penetration of electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones into human skin and blood was studied. The transmitted waves from these mobile phones were exposed to the human body and were penetrated into the body where field was reduced exponentially with depth. As the reduction in field was due to absorption of power, specific absorption rate was calculated and compared with permissible limit given by International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and World Health Organization (WHO). It was found that the specific absorption rate values were above the limit at distances 1 to 15 cm from the body, frequencies 800, 900, 1800 and 2450 MHz and effective radiated power of 2 Watts.
