Radiation Hazards from Cell Phones and Cell Towers - Presentation at KEM Hospital

It was a nice experience interacting with eminent doctors at KEM Medical College.

Prof Kumar talked about the radiation pattern of Cell tower radiation, main bean and minor beam of antenna and who are at more danger, radiation norms adopted in different countries, amount of radiation the body may be exposed to with current radiation norms, epidemiological symptoms observed with proximity to towers etc.

I spoke about the biological effects of these radiations. In particular its affect on children and pregnant women, health problems reported from cell tower radiation and other EMF sources- case studies and its impact on the environment - birds, animals, bees, plants etc.
