Electro Magnetic Radiation effects are deadlier in India due to lax radiation norms by Priya Adhyaru Majithia

Currently, there are more than 50 crore cell phone users and nearly 4.4 lakh cell phone towers to meet the communication demand in the country.

And the numbers of cell phones and cell towers are increasing each day without a careful study of major health risks due to radiation from cell phone and cell tower.

IIT professor Girish Kumar, who has documented a detailed analysis of disadvantages of cell phone technology in India, has challenged the cell phone operators to prove their claim that EMR does not cause a major health risk.

"If people in the mobile companies think there is no health hazard, then let them stand in front of their own transmitting tower at 1m distance in the main beam for 6 hours - are they willing to take the risk?," he asks.

His findings state that due to absence of stringent radiation norms, the radiation frequencies transmissions have remained unrestrained in India.

"One operator may transmit 50 to 100W of power but in India multiple operators are present on the same roof top or tower, then the power values increase manifold and thereby total transmitted power may be 200 to 400W - making the radiation effects more lethal," notes the report.

Cell phone transmits 1 to 2 Watt of power in the frequency range of 824 -849 MHz (CDMA), 890 -915 MHz (GSM900), 1710 - 1780 MHz (GSM1800) and 3G base station antenna transmits in the frequency range of 2110 - 2170 MHz. The centre frequency of WiFi, WLAN, Bluetooth is approximately 2450 MHz.

And majority of the towers, mounted near the residential and office buildings, transmit these high radiations twenty four hours, so people living within 10's of meters from the tower end up receiving 10,000 to 10,000,000 times stronger signal than required for mobile communication.
