From The Reports Of Prof. Girish Kumar, IIT , Mumbai.
There are several health hazards due to radiation from the cell towers to the human, birds, animals & environment. In India we have adopted very relaxed radiation norms of 4.7 w/sq.m for GSM 900, whereas serious health effects have been noted as low as 0.0001w/sq.m = 100 uw/sq.m. One of the first step to be taken is to tighten the radiation norms & yet it should be practical enough to be cost effective without causing inconvenience to the users.It is recommended that maximum cumulative power density allowed should be reduced immediate effect to 0.1 w/sq.m, which should then be subsequently reduced to 0.01 w/sq.m within year, so that net work planning can be carried out in a phased manner. It must be noted that a few countries have been adopted 0.001 w / sq.m or lower, so our proposed recommendation is higher than these countries to keep it cost effective.
All the operators must be strictly instructed that power density inside residential / office building , schools , hospitals & at common frequently visited places should be within these guide lines. People must be informed about the harmful radiation effects & corrective measures taken by Government Of India. Also , people must be informed that for some time , they may have network problem due to reduction in the transmitted power but it is for their overall health benefit.
Solution is to have more number of cell towers with lesser transmitted power.
Self Certification by the operators must be immediately abolished , measurement must be done by third party. which is independent & trustworthy. Also , radiation measurements must be monitored continuously, so that operator should not increase the transmitted power during peak period.
