The 5.4 lakhs mobile phone towers in India pose a huge threat to the health of the Citizens. experts say that amount of radiation emitted from these towers in a day, is equivalent to putting one's body in a Micro oven for 19 minutes !
India has the worst cell phone tower radiation norms in the world. The upper limit
is so high that within coming 2 years the health of 1 crore Indian could be affected. A Recommendation of the Inter Ministerial report on cell phone tower radiation was submitted by an expert committee appointed by Ministry of Telecom almost two years back but the recommendations have not yet been accepted by DoT ! If the recommendations are accepted soon there will be stricter restriction on towers being installed near high density residential areas , schools & hospitals.
At present we follow the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation protection ( ICNIRP ) guidelines for radiation, which will allow a radiation rate of 9.2 watts per sqm.meters to be emitted.The report recommends this level should
come down by one-tenth. At the same time the report clearly states that the safe limit for our health is 1000 times less than even the recommended limit.
Experts , like Prof. Girish Kumar, head of the Department of Electrical Engineering , I.I.T Bombay , who have been studying the harmful effects of radiation for three decades , are not very optimistic.
"The number of people having health problems is more in the areas where radiation levels are high. We have adopted the worst norm in the entire world"
