How can the World Health Organization (WHO ) say on one hand Cell Phones are possibly carcinogenic & on the other completely ignore Cell tower radiation?
Especially when we know its the cumulative effects that are particularly dangerous ------ remember unlike cell phones , cell towers emit radiation 24x7 . Prof.Girish Kumar has been pondering this & other question relating to cell tower radiation. Following his campaign , the local Government of Gurgaon shut down 298 cell towers in a residential areas last January.
Want to know how he did it ? He bribed a few Officials ?? No. none of that . He just argued a very good case. Actually he produced an excellent report on the dangers of cell Tower radiation.
Report on the Dangers of Cell Towers Radiation
- if you are living in the main beam of cell phone towers you are exposed to comparatively high radiation levels , you need particular help.
- common health complaints of people living in this main beam are headaches, sleep disturbances, memory related disorders, fatigue, buzzing in the head, joint pain, miscarriage, cancer etc.
- the Telecom industry likes to play down the WHO class 2B Carcinogen classification which also has pickles, coffee, etc. in the list.Radiation from cell phone towers is 24x7, people living in the near vicinity absorb this radiation continuously.
- the Industry experts claim that " Non- thermal biological effects have not been shown to be a health Hazard" is wearing very thin. Non- thermal effects are actually several times more harmful than thermal effects.
- average human life expectancy is approximately 70 yrs. We should be making EMF exposure guidelines to live safely for at least 70 yrs.
- the sensation of "hot ear" that many people feel when using a cell phone can cause ear tumors, the temperature of the ear lobes increase by 1c when a cell phone is used for 20 minutes or more , this warm sensation can lead to tinnitus & irreversible hearing loss.This can in turn lead to an ear tumor.
- doctors from at least 3 hospitals have reported that over use of cell phones can cause a loss in hearing & also ear tumors especially in teenagers.
- the Blackberry smart phone manufacturers recommends to keep the phone at least 0.98 in ( 25 mm ) from our body when it's in use.
- nobody is saying ban cell phone towers.We know that without antennas the network would not exist & people could not talk to each. What we are saying is why transmit so much power ? In India , Telecom operators transmit 20w of power per carrier & they use a number of carriers. Also antennas of multiple operators are placed on the same roof or tower to cut down the cost, so cumulative transmitted power is very high. The operator should not transmit more than 1to 2w of power in the densely populated area .
Cell Tower Radiation -- Just one form of Exposure
Its important particularly if you are in the beam. Let us not hung up about cell tower radiation. Instead, let us concentrate on what we can do, deal with the other source of EMF radiation, before we start waging war on cell tower radia
