Radiation City

1,800 CELL TOWERS IN 2006. 6,000 NOW. BARE MINIMUM RADIATION LEVELS IN 2006. A THOUSAND TIMES MORE NOW. THERE’S A NEW THREAT IN DELHI, REPORTS RISHI MAJUMDER.

HOW SAFE ARE YOU  ?  EXCLUSIVE TEHELKA 100 SPOT RADIATION SURVEY
“People do not understand,” he says. “Because radiation, unlike air, water and sound pollution, cannot be seen or felt. most Indians have only started using cell phones over the past 10 years.” Dastur says he notices that his employees, like his family members, are already complaining of increasing headaches and extreme fatigue. “In five years, emr will be the number one killer after heart attacks.”

● Forty of the 100 spots have “extreme anomaly” in radiation levels. This means the levels are close to seven times the safe limit. These are high risk areas. The readings were so high at times that the device used to measure the radiation, a High Frequency Analyser, could not record the radiation anymore
●Thirty-one spots have “unsafe” radiation levels. This means the levels are two to six times the safe limit
● Nine spots are “borderline”, just over the safe limit
● Only 20 of the 100 spots surveyed in Delhi have safe radiation levels
● Connaught place and khan Market, two of Delhi’s top marketplaces, have extreme anomaly
● Safdarjung hospital, Modern School in Vasant Vihar, the Delhi Police headquarters, and the ISKCON temple fall in areas with extreme anomaly
●The prime Minister’s residence, 7 Race Course Road, is in the borderline zone
●The All india Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), india’s premier healthcare institution, is in a borderline area
● 10 Janpath, where Congress president Sonia Gandhi lives, is safe
● Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is safe at her official residence, 3 Motilal Nehru Place
●The opening and closing ceremonies, and the athletics competition, of the Commonwealth Games will be held in unsafe areas
●The Yamuna Sports Complex, where the Games table tennis and archery competitions will be held, is unsafe

Cell radiation is slow poison. Effects begin with fatigue and could end in cancer. It is nearfatal for ones with pacemakers.

The Delhi Metro, another great beacon of progress, is also emitting levels of radiation that are beyond safe norms. This is another worrisome blind spot.

THE MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES

Hazards from EMR range from short to long term. A headache today could mean a tumour tomorrow.

IMMEDIATELY Could hinder pacemakers and ICDs, which could be fatal for patients

3 YEARS Appetite loss, sleep disorders, headaches, short term memory loss

4-5 YEARS Tinnitus, muscle spasms, visual disorder, skin ailments

5-10 YEARS Drop in sperm count, cardio and respiratory problems

8-10 YEARS Acoustic neuroma, brain tumour, leukaemia

A man dies and goes to heaven....he says to Lord Almighty.....you never gave any notice that i was going to die so i didnt prepare or pray .

God said so I did....first I weakened your eyesight...you got specks...now operation to get your eyesight corrected.

Then I made your hair go white to remind you...you dyed your hair.

Then I made your legs shaky....you ate multivitamins.

Then I made your teeth fall...you got a denture made forgetting that all these were reminders...

The man was speechless.

MUST READ NEWS : Survey finds water contaminated

NGOs Find 2 Of 53 Samples Potable, Rest Contain Heavy Metals & Pesticides 

An analysis of Delhi's water, carried out by the NGOs Hazards Centre and Water Aid, has thrown up startling results. Of the 53 samples that were tested, only two were found to be potable. The rest were contaminated in varying degrees with heavy metals, faecal coliform, flouride and even pesticides.

 

The study, carried out over last year, was made public on Tuesday. Dr Ishaprasad Bhagwat, director, programme operations of Water Aid, told TOI that while the results of the study were quite alarming, this was just an initial report that needed more followup action. ``The study is indicative of the extent of the problem the city is facing. A lot more work needs to be done. We will submit the study to DJB shortly,'' he said.

Golf Ball .............

When things in your life seem , almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented..

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
