Avoidance of Short Range Radio Devices to Control Radiation by Cell Towers
Subscribe/Renew Journal
In every day, thousands of subscribers are adding to the mobile network in India. The increase of subscribers and the mobile service providers are increasing their cell towers in regular intervals. In India 2008 we have 3.75 lakhs of cell tower and it increased to 4.50 lacks by the year 2010. The use of hand-held mobile telephones and personal communication service phones has necessitated an increase in the number of transmitters needed to support these devices. These transmitters have created public concern regarding the health effects of radio-frequency radiation (RFR). In urban areas in India, most RFR is produced by local cell towers with smaller contributions from radio and television stations. Radio and cell transmission towers might be one of the major sources of RFR exposure in most industrialized countries. In order to validate the radiation of cell towers, we performed actual measurements of electric and magnetic field strength. Cancer risks were estimated using conditional logistic regression adjusted for residential area, socioeconomic status, and community population density. In this study, we discussed Radioactive material consists of atoms with unstable nuclei. The atoms spontaneously change (decay) to more stable forms and emit radiation.
