Celll towers in resedencial palces.

although some scientif studies have give report that no  adverse health effects have been reported by installation of cell towers yet as matter of precaution you should avoid installing the same in residential buildings. Department of Telecommunication, in spite of having numerous Act,rules and regulations does not have any norms/regulation on tower construction. as on date there are no court decisions baning installation in residential areas

A public interest survey on radiation was initiated by Tehelka for the first time in India’s capital of Delhi, to investigate how telecom towers were jeopardizing citizens’ lives by violating health norms. The study was commissioned by the ‘Tehelka’newspaper and was executed by Cogent, a Delhi-based company that works on radiation safety solutions.

100 spots from across Delhi were selected for the study in the first half of May 2010.The results were very disturbing, the highlights of which are listed below -

• About four-fifths of Delhi’s population lives in unsafe radiation zones, with the radiation levels ranging from “borderline” to “unsafe” and “extreme anomaly.

• Forty of the 100 spots surveyed have ‘extreme anomaly’ levels of radiation. In these high- risk zones, the EMR is seven times the safe limit. They include Connaught Place, Khan Market, Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi Police headquarters, ISKCON temple and Modern School in Vasant Vihar.

• Thirty-one spots were found to be ‘unsafe’ zones while nine were ‘borderline’. The latter includes AIIMS and PM’s residence.

• Merely 20 spots were considered safe and these zones included the residences of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Delhi CM Sheila Diksh*t.

• Only a fifth of Delhi lives and works in a safe or non-hazardous zone and that happens to be the VVIP zone.

• The October Commonwealth Games, which will last well over 12 days, could be the most ‘risky’ in terms of radiation exposure.

Mayhem in Mumbai

The telecom disaster seems to have struck Mumbai too.

In 2004, a Reliance cell tower was constructed on the terrace of the Panchratna Apartments, Ulhasnagar in Mumbai. Since 2005 there have been four cases of cancer in the apartment complex with several other residents complaining of fatigue, migraine and sleeplessness. The apartment society is paid Rs.30,000 per month and for this reason they do not want to remove the cell tower despite complaints from the residents.

Another example is the presence of a huge telecom tower near Dharavi, the biggest slum in Asia. There are several such cell towers, which spew EMR, strewn carelessly across many residential areas in Mumbai --without a thought for the health hazard that they could be causing!!

A Delhi –model study conducted in Mumbai reveals that the majority of Mumbai is living in unsafe zones and there are likely to be several‘cancer clusters’ around the city similar to that seen at the Pancharatna apartments, thanks to EMR- emitting cell towers.
