What Report Says ----
Radiation from Mobile phones & Towers poses serious health risks, including loss of memory , lack of concentration, disturbances in the digestive system & sleep disturbances , according to an inter ministrial
committee formed by the ministry of communication & information technology to study the hazards posed by mobile towers.
The committee has also attributed the disappearance of butterflies , bees , insects & sparms vanishing from big cities to mobile related radiation.
The eight member committee, which included representatives from the health ministry, department of bio-technology & member secretary, DoT, has recommended that mobile phones not adhering to standard levels of specific absorption rate ( SAR )- a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone .... should be barred .
It has said mobile towers should not be installed near high density residential areas, schools, playgrounds & hospitals. " The localized SAR value as per the Indian Guide lines standard is 2 watt per kg., averaged over a six minutes period & using a 10 gm. average mass. With higher SAR values of mobile handsets the public could potentially receive much higher radio frequency exposure. We have recommended that SAR levels to be lowered down to 1.6 watt/kg, as prescribed by the Federal Communication commission of Us," said a member.
Dr. R.S. Sharma , ICMR scientist who represented the health ministry on the committee, said the findings are based on case studies presented by different experts.
"In the case of a person using cell phone most of the heating occurs on the surface of the head, causing its temperature to increase by a fraction of a degree. The brain blood flow is capable of disposing the excess by increasing the local blood flow & increasing body temperature " states the report.
