Abstract
Since the diversification of the electromagnetic (EM) environment is spreading, it is essential to estimate the EM energy absorption rate [specific absorption rate (SAR)] of a pregnant woman's body and her fetus under various exposure situations. This paper presents the EM dosimetry in a pregnant woman in proximity to a mobile-phone terminal using the numerical model of a woman in her seventh month of pregnancy (composed of 56 organs, which includes the intrinsic organs of a pregnant woman) based on the high-resolution whole-body voxel model of a Japanese adult woman. It was found that the SAR in the fetus strongly depends on the geometrical relationship between the fetus and the EM source, while the averaged SAR for the fetus is always lower than the RF safety guidelines under the exposure conditions investigated in this paper.
