A Cell phone transmits1 to 2 Watts of power
SAR (Specific absorption rate) - Rate at which radiation is absorbed
by human body, measured in units of watts per kg (W/kg) of tissue.
In USA, SAR limit for cell phones is 1.6W/Kg which is actually for6 minutes. It has a safety margin of 3 to 4, so a person should not use
cell phone for more than 18 to 24 minutes per day.
This information is not commonly known to people in India.

People living within 50 to 300 meter radius are in
the high radiation zone (dark blue) and are moreprone to ill-effects of electromagnetic radiation

India adopts ICNIRP guideline for Power density (Pd)
= Frequency / 200, frequency is in MHz.
For GSM900 (935-960 MHz), Pd = 4.7W/m2 and
GSM1800 (1810-1880 MHz), Pd = 9.2W/m2.
ICNIRP has considered only thermal effects of radiation and hasgiven following disclosure:
ICNIRP is only intended to protect the public against short term
gross heating effects and NOT against 'biological' effects such as
cancer and genetic damage from long term low level microwave
exposure from mobile phones, masts and many other wireless
devices.- http://ww.icnirp.de/documents/emfgdl.pdf

Epidemiological studies-Cell Phone Antennas: Human Exposure
Studies in Spain, the Netherlands, Israel, Germany, Egypt and Austria all documentadverse health effects below the FCC guideline. Based on symptoms experiences:
Cellular phone base stations should not be sited closer than 300 m to populations.

Cell phone use also increases risk of glioma, acoustic neuroma,
salivary gland tumors , uveal melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma,
facial nerve tumors, skin, blood, testicular and breast cancer
Children and teenagers, before age of 20 -
Five times more likely to get brain cancer if
they use cell phones.
Mobile phone use >10 years doubles
risk of brain cancer. Risk is highest foripsilateral (on the same side of the head
where the instrument is held) exposure

Result of Re-evaluation of Interphone Study
INTERPHONE WHO -10 year,13 countries,
largest (5,117 brain tumor cases), $25 million
dollars to evaluate risk on brain tumours.
Conclusion - no overall risk, but suggestionsof glioma -heavy users & ipsilateral exposures
Re-evalution - Risk underestimated by at least 25%
Flaws in the design
25% industry funded
Correction factor - significant results.
For every 100 hours of use -26% risk of meningiomaInitial 24% risk of glioma ed to 55% - regular users (2 hrs/month)?
Doubled - quadrupled brain tumor risk - heavy users (1/2 hour/day)
Children, young adults excluded. New study - Mobi-kids

symptoms when being in contact withelectromagnetic field.
One of the first countries where mobile

Sweden has now recognized EHS (Electrohypersensitivity) as aphysical degradiation and EHS sufferers are entitled to have metal
