PROTECTING ACCESS TO ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

San Francisco Cell Phone Users Gain Right-to-Know

Environmental Working Group (Jun 16 2010)

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to require retailers to post cell phone radiation emissions. EWG has a database so that users can find out how much radiation their phone transmits to the body, or their phone's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).  EWG asserts, "consumers at least have a right to know their phone's SAR when making purchasing decisions."
