San Francisco Requires Cell Phone Radiation Warnings

Posted by Soulskill on from the apple-trademarks-i-rradiate dept.

Lord Ender writes "Poor phone reception may soon be a selling point in San Francisco. A city ordinance was just approved which requires those selling phones to indicate the 'specific absorption rate' (SAR) caused by the radio transmitters in the phones. Cell phone industry groups opposed the law. The FCC already requires phones sold in the US to have SAR levels below 1.6 W/kg, though adverse health effects from such levels of radio exposure have never been conclusively demonstrated."

    Seriously, they are a real pest and nobody but a few professional travelers actually needs them. Prohibit them and the world will be a better place. I'm not joking.
