3 EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS EMITTED BY CELLULAR PHONE BASE STATION ON HUMAN HEALTH
Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 24
Abstract
Background: In today’s world Globalization is the new mantra. It is very difficult not to have technology. But with technology, come certain hazards. The only way to beat these is again, better technology. Electromagnetic radiation is everywhere. More and more wireless communication services (cellular phones, wireless internet, etc.) are expected to come up and it seems that there is no way to reverse this trend. A cell phone technology is one of them, which introduce in India few years back, but now its need of society. It also works on electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to find out the effect of cellular phone base station radiation, due to frequent exposure, on human health. Material & Method The present study was conducted over a period of three years. This covers urban as well as rural areas of Surat districts. The city of Surat was selected as the urban area while villages surrounding it represented the rural areas. Study obtains information regarding radiation exposure to individuals by means of cellular phone base stations and their effect on human health.Observation : Study was under taken in 66 subjects, including control group. The study includes anthropometric parameters and standard cardiovascular autonomic function tests.Conclusion: We are not at all against any technologies coming up, we are welcoming all the technologies, but we maintain that health precautions and safety precautions must be taken. Even if effects are of small amplitude and do not seem to be detrimental. But once the energy is absorbed by the biological matter, can cause severe and long lasting damage to human health and effects will enhance due to frequent exposure to source. It might take years for the damage to produce noticeable symptoms
