Random check of Mobile Towers for Radiation in East Delhi

Press Release :

The World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) says radiation from cellphone handsets and towers is "possibly carcinogenic to humans" and may cause glioma, a type of brain cancer. It says, Towers are more dangerous than handsets because they emit greater-intensity of radiation 24X7.

Therefore, we thought of checking the Radiation from various Mobile Towers in East Delhi. COAI co-operated with us for a random check of few Towers in East Delhi on 9th March, 2013. The readings measured by NARDA equipment were all within the norms of 0.45 w/m2. 

However, we have been informed by the experts from Radiation field, that, from health point of view, safe value is less than 0.0001 W/m2 = 0.1 miilwatts/m2 for 24x7 exposure, and DOT as well our Govt. must look into it and change the norms suitably.
