WARNING SIGNALS - CELL PHONE TOWERS ???????

Dear All

In continuation, everything is moving forward with the process of LPG and its development and disasters. The use of technology is good as long as it is under control on need based strategy. When it goes beyond, then negative impact of the technology is expected to dominate the people and the environment.

One such technology is the cell phone and its infrastructural development. Down to Earth came out with an article that Radiation emitted out of the cell phone tower is safe. The concept behind the study and the patter is expected to deviate from the reality. Suggestions made in this direction which were communicated to the Journal were furnished below for wide circulation as:

Warning Signal from Cell phone Towers: January 16-31, 2011.

Radiation from cell phone towers (January 16-31, 2011) do harm the people and environment. The questions raised are at what distance? & what duration of exposure? Systematic study to establish the reality should be the top priority irrespective of the assumptions or studies conducted else where. The survey conducted at the selected spots (locations of the spots w.r.t the tower are missing) in the Capital may not represent the reality and further creates confusion and conflicts. The survey with circular grid around the tower at the distance of 10m, ¼LT, ½LT, ¾LT & 1LT (where LT represent the length of the tower) with minimum of four readings (N, E, S & W) on each grid at the time interval of 6 hours (to monitor for one day from 0 to 24 hours) will be more appropriate and effective. Later, at selected vulnerable spots, establish the equipment for continuous recording for the duration of weak, month or so. In addition, conduct medical camps for screening the people in respect of numerological symptoms, skin, eye & hair issues and other related issues with specific factor relating their stay or period of exposure like: 1 year, < or > 5 years. The data generated by these surveys are expected to bring the reality and further to convince the people for the good or bad of the radiation and to take suitable measures in the later case. In future, making such pre-conditions or tests as mandatory for the establishers helps to protect the health of the people as well as the environment and to avoid confusion & conflicts among the stakeholders.
