Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results of experiments concerning thermal effects due to electromagnetic exposure from handheld mobile communications equipment. A human head has been exposed to electromagnetic radiation emitted by different commercial mobile phones (900 MHz), and the consequent surface temperature variation has been measured by thermographic methods.
