Also, as you'd instinctively assume, the farther away the
phone is from you, the less radiation you'll absorb from it.
Holding the phone 10 inches away can reduce radiation
exposure by a factor of 400. (Another reason texting and a
headset are good ideas - you'd be yelling to get heard while
holding the phone that far away.)

SAR testing not perfect
Scientists acknowledge that SAR testing has significant
precision problems, and current research is lacking in many
ways. For instance, we don't know much about SAR values when
phones are in "data mode" (you know you love those iphone
apps), when they're held at various orientations (say,
flipped around in your pocket) or how SAR values change for
people of different ages and body types.
Children may be especially at risk, because their tissue
conducts more (it has more ions than that of adults). Also,
their thinner skulls don't provide as much of a radiation
shield - one recent study showed that a child's head could
absorb twice the amount of radiation as an adult's. As a
result, kids using high-emitting, perfectly legal cell
phones could be exposed to radiation over the legal limit.
(see TDG's Organic Mom's 10 ways to limit cell phone
radiation.)
You can make it better
More research is needed, but the U.S. currently lags behind
Europe when it comes to knowing what's going on with cell
phones (surprise!). Tell the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
update their cell phone regulations (which they haven't done
since their introduction in the mid-1990's) by sending them
an email using EWG's easy form.
And in the meantime, since SAR values vary so much, you can
make choices to reduce your exposure. Use these 8 tips to
reduce your cell phone radiation exposure - they'll make
good sense now that you understand the "why" behind them
all.
