AN IMPORTANT STEP
As the number of mobile devices increased in time and the pollution driven from radiation grew simultaneously, World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended that "consumers should consider ways of reducing their exposure".
Along with it, institutions and foundations adopted precautions regarding mobile device radiation and proposed legislation that would require devices to carry a label clearly stating the SAR value.
Many steps are continuously being taken to improve that level of consciousness in this matter.
Soon the law would require city retailers to inform customers about the possible dangers of cell phone radiation.
