Mobile Tower Radiation And Its Impact On Human Health

October 21, 2020

Radiation emitted by Mobile Towers

There are two types of radiation – one is ionizing radiation which are to X-rays and the other is non-ionizing radiation which is gadget radiation like mobile phone radiation, laptop radiation, desktop radiation, tablet radiation, smart Tv radiation, radiation of wi-fi routers, network boosters, etc., and harmful radiation from mobile towers around our homes and workplaces. Ionizing radiation is high-frequency radiation that is known to cause cancer. On the other hand, low-frequency non-ionizing radiation is also a threat to our health. It may, too, become the cause of health issues like cancer and brain tumors when the human body is exposed to it for long durations of time. 

Did you know?

WHO has also stated these radiations can have a negative impact on the human body and may also become a cause of cancer if exposed to them for long periods of time, putting them into the same category as fumes and exhaust. Apart from this solid proof by the WHO of the link between electromagnetic radiation and cancer, there are some incidents that have also confirmed the correlation between mobile tower radiation and serious health issues in humans. WHO has put these radiations in the 2B category which classifies the reasons to cause Cancer.

Also, cancer specialists(Oncologist), scientists, and other doctors too have no doubt about the dangers of mobile radiation and mobile tower radiation. They all agree to the adverse side effects of radiation emitted by wi-fi gadgets including cell phones, cell phone towers, and all other wireless gadgets used for communication.

Health Hazards Caused By Mobile Tower Radiation

Not only cancer but other harmful effects of mobile radiation like lower sperm count, birth defects, increase risk of heart attack are the direct long-term results of electromagnetic radiation produced by mobile phones and mobile towers. As the number of mobile phone users increased, the installation of mobile towers also saw an increasing trend so as to cater to the vast majority of mobile users. Given the necessity of connectivity, mobile phones are now an unavoidable part of our life. In our homes and at the workplaces, we need a mobile phone for various purposes. 24/7 proximity with this multipurpose wireless device makes us continuously exposed to the radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF). And the outcome is higher stress and fatigue, irritation, poor sleep quality, headache, and many more short-term issues.

Research published in biomedical and life sciences journal literature, USA points out that the RF-EMF has “deleterious effects on sperm parameters (like sperm count, morphology, motility), affects the role of kinases in cellular metabolism and the endocrine system, and produces genotoxicity, genomic instability, and oxidative stress”. 

Where does India stand?

India is the country that hosts almost one-fifth of the world population, the reason behind the huge base of mobile phone users in India. These mobile phones transmit and receive signals to and from the mobile towers spread across the country forming a connectivity network. Mobile towers emit harmful electromagnetic radiation and the globally permissible safe limit of radiation level is 0.5 milliwatt per meter square. In India, this limit was badly surpassed to reach 900 times higher in 2013 according to the report in Hindustan Times.

If we talk about India’s current mobile tower radiation level, we have a radiation exposure limit of 9.2 watts per meter square which is still higher than countries like China (0.4 w/sq m) and Russia (0.2 w/sq m).

Indian Judiciary Took The Mobile Tower Radiation Seriously

According to a report in the Business Standard, the Supreme Court of India asked the government-owned telecommunication company BSNL to remove the mobile network tower that caused cancer to a resident of Gwalior city. The Supreme Court passed this judgment when cancer patient, Harish Chand Ravat, a domestic helper in Gwalior, pleaded to get the mobile tower removed as he claimed that it was the reason behind his sickness. The mobile tower was installed less than 20 meters away from the house where he was working. This was the first time in India when the highest judiciary admitted that low-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from the mobile towers can indeed cause deadly diseases in humans.

In another such incident reported by Hindustan Times, three mobile towers were installed in the neighborhood of C-Scheme luxury apartments in Jaipur in 2003. At first, two brothers from an area nearby were diagnosed with brain cancer. In 2011, the inter-ministerial committee recommended reducing the exposure of electromagnetic radiation to 450 MW/sq m. Up till now, seven people living in the radiation-affected neighborhood of Jaipur have been diagnosed with cancer.

How can we protect ourselves from Mobile Tower Radiation?

Just like mobile phones, mobile towers are also equally harmful to our health. The low-frequency electromagnetic radiation is continuously eroding our health and exposing us to greater health risks. If we want to protect ourselves from Mobile Tower Radiation, we need to employ some precautionary as well as curative measures.

Ensure mobile tower installation beyond the standard safe distance from the place, generally home and office where you spend most of your time. As per the studies, mobile phone towers within the range of 400 meters can cause adverse impacts on human health. 

Given the technological exigencies in the wirelessly connected world, we sometimes may not have the option of where the mobile tower should be installed. Therefore, we can take resort to some curative instant solutions such as the certified radiation protection products by Environics. Envirochip and Enviroglobe are unique and credible products that provide us all round protection from mobile tower radiation. The radiation protection technology implemented in these products changes the nature of electromagnetic radiation from constant waveform to random waveform thus making radiation ineffective to human health.
