Abstract
Despite the fact that introduction of GSM technology and mobile phone had tremendously solved the problems of communication in Nigeria; however the health implication of radiation from GSM mobile phone has become an area of great concern to the public. This study tried to find out the effect of radiation emitted from GSM mobile phone on human health. Power density was measured from selected mobile phone of different model at 0.01m away from the head of the mobile phone where large quantity of the radiation is emitted. The amount of power density measured ranges from 0.3 to 0.5µW/m2 with the corresponding SAR ranges from 0.0011 to 0.0018W/Kg. These results were compared with the standard values from the safety guide lines provided by the ICNIRP and were found to be far below the recommended level.
