A Bench comprising Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal and Justices C K Thakker and R V Raveendran issued notices to a host of ministries — including home, defence, communications and information & broadcasting — on the PIL filed by an NGO, Karma Jyot Seva Trust. 
Appearing for the NGO, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi said the constant electromagnetic radiation from the communication towers could lead to cancer and also cause neurological, cardiac, respiratory and ophthalmological disorders. 

Stating that there were no government guidelines on the placement of communication towers, the NGO cited a US law prohibiting erection of transmitter towers near schools and residential areas because of the health risk posed 
by them. 

With the massive proliferation of mobile phone users in the country, the service providers were putting up transmitters even on dilapidated buildings and thus posing danger to the residents, it said.

Adverse Effects
The remarkable growth of this new technology is receiving public concerns about various ill effects of RF Radiation Exposure, dangers perceived from falling of these towers during earthquake with small little seismographic disturbances. The adverse effects of RF/Microwave Radiations were recognized by the erstwhile USSR and, in fact, the same was used as a weapon to create mental disturbances, instability and high anxiety. The same was utilized by illuminating US Embassy in Moscow with high power Microwave Radiations. (1) Slowly and slowly when the adverse health effects started coming to the notice of medical and radiological scientists certain measures were taken in advanced countries to formulate certain guidelines and to regulate exposure limits within safe levels. The United States FCC had guidelines FCC 56 revised by FCC65. Canadian Government incorporated Safety Code No. 6, European Countries developed ICNIRP and IEEE Guidelines. But, unfortunately, even with such a faster growth, RF Illuminating Towers in Indian cities could not attract attention of the Government of India. The relationship between biological effects and Electromagnetic Exposure has been widely recognized from Epidemiological and experimental studies. The growing use of mobile communication GSM 900/1800, Cordless Telephones etc. in the last decade has introduced concerns about health risks from so called man made electro smog. This Non Ionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Pollution is invisible and in this context it is not detectable by our five senses. Therefore every one tends to have casualness towards personal protection. Since use of these Electromagnetic Radiations is inevitable by the Society, there is a need to devise more comprehensive protection measures. As per the observed NIEMR levels, we in are certainly vulnerable to adverse health effects. Unfortunately ignorance and non-awareness adds to this misery and all of us are accepting this slow poison unknowingly.

Use of RF Safety Solutions - Anti Radiation and Radiation Safe Products like Mobile Accessories, Electronic Accessories, Uniforms, Aprons, Medical Outfits, Fabrics, Paints, Glasses, Window Films for less EMF penetration is highly recommended by various social, scientific organizations these days.

Vulnerabilities of EMR
All of us know that we are not allowed to operate Mobile Phones in an aircraft because of the reason of interference of the Radiating RF with the Onboard Systems of the aircraft. It is very unfortunate that same analogy is not applied to the living beings although everybody is vulnerable to this continuous RF Radiations. All of us vulnerable to the ill effects of RF EMR but following are more vulnerable as per the existing scientific studies.

Risk to Pre Adolescent Children
They are more at risk than adults (12) because of absorption of Microwaves of the frequency used in Mobile Telephony, which creates an object of the size of child’s head and so called “head resonance” (13). The still developing Nervous System and associated Brain Wave activity in the child are more vulnerable to aggression by pulses of Microwaves used in GSM. The increased mitotic activity in cells of developing children makes them more susceptible to genetic damage.

Children are at the greatest risk, due to their thinner skulls, and rapid rate of growth. Also at greater risk are the elderly, the frail, and pregnant women. Doctors from the United Kingdom have issued warnings urging children under 16 not to use cell phones, to reduce their exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation.

Risk to Pregnant Women
A pregnant woman and the fetus both are vulnerable because of the fact that these RF Radiations continuously react with the developing embryo, increasing cells, because of thermal heat also. When the pregnant ladies either use Mobile Phone or when illuminated with RF Radiations, the developing child can become affected, the developmental mall formation may occur.

Risk to Human Brain
Human Brain is the most vulnerable portion to the NIEMR(RFR). Some of the known effects are Neurological effects (14), Increase in ODC (Ornithine De Carboxylase) activity (15), effect on enzymes and free radicals decreasing the brain metabolism (16) 

Risk to Patients Carrying Pace Makers
The RF Exposure adversely affects implanted Pace Maker and becomes arhythemical. These radiations may stop Pace Maker from delivering pulses in a regular way or may generate some kind of external controlling pulse putting the patient to death.

Living dangerously an RF Radiation pollution perspective

The electromagnetic radiations are being utilized as technological enhancements to the mankind all across the world. During first half of the twentieth century harmful effects of radiation (now known as ionizing radiations) became very evident and lots of remedial actions have been taken. In later 20th century when use of electromagnetic spectrum increased for mobile telecommunications, television transmitters, FM Radio Stations and also Mobile Phones themselves threaten significant increase in the RF Level in various cities particularly in densely populated areas. Broadcasting and household remote-controlling, enormous health effects started taking place by non-ionizing radiations. The mobile telecommunication companies in fact mushroomed the cities in every corner of the world with radiating steel towers. In the over-exuberance of the speed of network roll out and covering the full population for a good communication range, they have not only neglected the structural stability, heritage protection and radiation health effects but also put the general public open to the continuous (24x7) exposure of EMR which is leading to permanent effect on human health and behavior. For example, an effort has been made by us to make every one aware of the NIEMR (Non Ionizing Electro Magnetic Radiation) pollution in Indian cities by measuring the RF levels in North India and particularly Delhi and also of the sites of mobile towers installed at various places, prove that we are living dangerously. This study suggests that similar results would come out in various cities all across the world where ever Radiations norms are not being followed. An effort has also been made by Cogent EMR Solutions to study and suggest what measures be taken by all of us in general and respective Governments to enhance activities to ensure a clean, green and EMR safe world.
