Electromagnetic Radiation from Mobile Phone near Ear-skull Region

Mobile phones produce radio frequency signal that is transferred as Electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR has the ability to penetrate through semi solid substances especially human body's tissues and caused dielectric heating. This effect can be classified as thermal and non thermal radiation....
