Cell Tower Radiation Norms in India

Several Health effects have been reported from cell towers radiation much below the radiation norms adopted by most countries. Common problems that occur among below living near & below cell tower are sleep disturbances , concentration problem,memory loss, heart palpitation etc.The radiation can also aggravate / lead to Alzheimer's & Parkin's disease.
Children are more prone to these radiation as their skulls are thinner & still developing. Studies by Dr.Om Gandhi show that radiation penetration in the head of an adult while using a mobile  phone is 25%, in a 10 yr. old it is 50% & in a 5 yr. old it is 75%. Also pregnant women & older people are more susceptible to radiation.
All these health effects have been observed at levels much below ICNIRP & FCC guide lines adopted by many countries.
Similar health effects have been observed in people in Germany,Israel, Sweden,Spain, UK, France etc. Also lots of cancer cases have been reported among people living within 300 to 400 meters distance from Tower.
In a country like India where population is very dense, achieving this is very difficult, hence it all the  more calls for lower radiation norms.
At the end some case studies have been reported. These are only a few examples.
The damage  which has already occurred to the human race including environment , plants , animals , birds ,bees  etc. is phenomenal. According to Australian Health Research Institute , if this trend continues , by 2020 - " 2 billion people will suffer from cell phone Cancer". Even if 1% comes true , it will be  devastating consequences  to so many of us !!
All this calls for immediate need to adopt strict & lower radiation norms.
