Save India- Adopt Better Cell Tower Radiation Norms Purpose of the mail
The Indian government through department of telecommunications have invited opinion on “Effect of EMF radiation on human health” through their website “http://www.dot.gov.in/miscellaneous/imc.htm “. We want you to please be a part of this as it can not only affect you but your family and near dear ones. Please go through the following effects of cell tower radiation before mailing to them.
Summary of health effects due to cell tower radiation
1. Due to cell tower radiations, lot of people are suffering from various forms of cancer and tumor like salivary gland tumors, lymphoma, facial nerve tumors, skin, blood, testicular and breast cancer.
2. People who lived close to the cellular antennas face the highest incidences of the following disorders: fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, visual disruptions, irritability, hearing disruptions, skin problems, cardiovascular disorders and dizziness.
3. Cell tower radiations are causing a lot of environmental problems like disappearance of bees, drying up of fruits and plants. It creates navigational problems for many birds. Also the agricultural output has been reduced at many places where cell towers have been installed.
To avoid all these or to minimize the effects, the radiation norms should be brought down to .001 w/m2 from the present levels of 9.2w/m2. This is what we should ask the government to formalize.

how do we come to know the level of radiation from a mobile tower.also whom do we need to contact in case the radiation levels are high.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Ashish,
DeleteWe have come up with a detector based on health recommendations. Please find the details http://neha-wilcom.blogspot.in/2011/12/cell-tower-radiation-detector-detex-189.html
Or you can ask TRAI to do the measurement however the problem is that their reference level is ICNIRP guideline and all operators are much below this guideline, so the possibility of the actual danger is neglected.
it is too much to comment on cell phone tower without knowing about it as it is are we not victim of radiation can i complaint to anybogy
ReplyDeleteDear Pandian,
DeleteYou can read about the same at:
(1) Cell Tower Radiation Report - sent to DOT (Department of Telecommunications) - http://www.scribd.com/doc/44736879
(2) Radiation Hazards from Cell Phones and Cell Towers - Presentation at KEM Hospital -http://www.scribd.com/doc/37796846
Unfortunately, right now in India there is no e-mail id or authority where one can directly complain. However, one can try writing to TUG/DOT/TRAI.
Dear Neha, Please suggest a EM radiation meter from independent authority / renowned manufacturer like Tektronix so that people can check the radiation levels themselves. Also detex 189 has only 3 LED indicator, please refer some with LCD display of exact radiation levels within 10~20K price range.
