Three Mobile-Phone Makers Agree To Develop Radiation Risk Standard
By NICOLE HARRIS and SCOTT HENSLEY
Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Wireless companies Nokia Corp., Motorola Inc., and Ericsson Inc., prompted by growing consumer concern about the potential health hazards of cellular phones, are considering ways to disburse more information about cell-phone radiation.

The companies, working with governmental bodies around the world, said Monday they are trying to devise a global standard for measuring cell-phone radiation levels -- specifically, to come up with a consistent way to measure specific absorption rates, known as SAR.

SAR is the process of measuring the amount of radio-frequency energy that is absorbed by human tissue. That is a source of growing concern for consumers, who are increasingly voicing worry that constant cell-phone use might actually be bad for users' health.
