Summary of health-based exposure limits calculated in this study. Whole-body SAR value of 0.2–0.4 W/kg was selected as a point of departure for calculating health-based exposure guidelines. Applying two ten-fold safety factors for interspecies and intraspecies variability (a total of 100X), a whole-body SAR limit of 2–4 mW/kg is derived for adults. The application of an additional ten-fold (10X) children’s health factor suggests a limit of 0.2–0.4 mW/kg whole body SAR for young children
