There have been some studies which suggest cell phone might cause [[cancer]], especially in the [[brain]]. The [[World Health Organization]] was perhaps the first world-recognized organization to announce this possibility.<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/31/who.cell.phones/index.html</ref> At the very least, it is known that the radio waves from cell phones do effect the cells nearby, as is evidenced by the change in their [[metabolism]] rate of [[glucose]].<ref>http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet</ref> However, no [[cell phone cancer]] link has been proven beyond doubt. (Also see: [[Mobile phones and brain tumor risk]]).<br />

In the united states, the FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) level of 1.6 watts per kilogram. In most cases, cell phones are tested for safety with the assumption that they are operated between 5mm and 15mm from the body.<ref>https://www.fcc.gov/general/radio-frequency-safety-0</ref>
