Ecological effects of Cell Phone Radiations
1.
2. The world has experienced a phenomenal
growth in the number of smart phone users.
Number of cell phone towers are increasing
day by day , without considering its
disadvantages.
3. • The number of unused or retired phones
will keep growing year after year, posing
an ever increasing problem for the
environment.
• Cell phones are one of the leading
contributors to the e-waste around the
world.
4. “Every year, millions of tons of E-
waste get distributed from countries
like Australia and U.S to developing
countries like India and China, where
it gets dumped at landfills, which
cause pollution to the environment
owing to their toxic nature”
5. it contain concentrations of toxic heavy
metals including
• Cadmium
• Lead
• Nickel
• Mercury
• Manganese
• Lithium
• Zinc
• Arsenic
• Antimony
• Beryllium and copper.
6. Metals such as these are considered as:
• Persistent
• Bio accumulative
Metals build up in the soil and they can then enter
the food chain and in sufficient concentrations may
cause health problems.
Chemicals such as these are associated with a
range of adverse human health effects, including
damage to the nervous system, reproductive and
developmental problems, cancer and genetic
impacts.
7. “Recent report says that 75
percent of studies have found that
cell phones, cell towers, and Wi-fi
networks are biologically harmful
and may lead to a range of health
issues including "Brain aging,"
brain damage, early-onset
Alzheimer's, senility, DNA
damage, and sperm die-offs.”
8. • Radio signals are part of everyday life emitted
both by natural sources like the sun, the earth
and by artificial sources such as: 4G LTE cell
tower base stations, broadcast towers, remote
controls, electrical and electronic equipment.
• The radio frequency sources include transmitting
towers such as FM radio towers, cell phone
towers etc.., emit radio frequency , microwave
radiation continuously.
• "Cell phones and towers emit a very low
frequency of 900 or 1,800 MHz, called microwaves.
10. SAR (Specific absorption rate) - Rate at which
radiation is absorbed by human body, measured in
watts per kg (W/kg).
In USA, max. SAR limit for cell phones is 1.6W/Kg
which is for
6 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 given to people
in India.
SAR and Cell phone use time
limit
11. • Birds are known to be sensitive to magnetic
radiation. Microwaves can interfere with their
sensors and misguide them while navigating
and preying.
• Recent studies show that the increasing number
of cell phone towers in cities is bringing down
birds population and they can cause thin skulls
of chicks and thin egg shells.
12. • Sparrows were once abundant in the city spaces and rural
markets in India.
• But these small birds are facing a serious threat
• But these small birds are facing a serious threat due to
radiation from mushrooming cell power tower.
• mobile phone towers are causing them to disappear from
the Indian landscape.
• Recent study has shown that sparrows were present only
in localities which are located at a particular distance
from the towers.
13. • Four of the 200-odd Chennai birds —House
sparrow(Passer domesticus), Brahmini kite(Haliastur
indus) and Spotted dove (Streptopelia chinensis) have
virtually disappeared.
• Scientists at the Research Institute for Nature and
Forests in Belgium have produced the first evidence that
mobile phone base stations are affected the
reproductive behavior of wild sparrows.
14. • Reports from other parts of the country shows
that squirrels also could be victims of
increasing mobile phone tower presence and
resulting impact of high Electro- magnetic
radiation.
• Villagers and farmers in the Northern parts of
the Indian state of Kerala also report on the
sudden disappearance of Indian palm squirrel
(Funambulus palmarum) from the farms and
nearby places.
15. • Electro-magnetic radiation can cause thin skulls chicks
and thin egg shells.
• The team at the center for Environment and Vocational
studies of Punjab University exposed 50 eggs to EMR for
duration of 5 to 30 minutes. All the 50 embryos were
damaged.
16.
17. • Mobile phones are suspect in the massive collapse
of bee colonies all over the United states and
Europe.
• Cell phones are one possible reason for the recent
increase in the occurrence of bee colony collapse
disorder. The theory is that radiation from cell
phones interfere with bee’s navigation systems, and
thus prevent them from returning to the hive.
18. • For protecting urban flora and fauna from emerging
threats of EMR the experts are suggesting
• Bold signs and messages on the dangers of cell phone
tower and radiation to be posted near the position of
cell phone towers.
• To prevent overlapping high radiation fields new
towers should not be permitted within a radius of one
Km of existing towers.
• If new towers must be built construct them to be above
80 feet and below 199 feet aviation safety lighting.
19. Use anti radiation pouches.
Check SAR values of mobile phones.
Use receivers to reduce
radiation emitted by mobiles .
Reduce the amount of time spent on calls.
Remove the cell towers from more populated
areas.
“Reduce the power or remove the tower”.
20. The seriousness of health hazards due to radiation
from cell phones and cell towers has not been
realizing a common man.
Cell operators continue to claim that there are no
health issues. Even organizations like
WHO,ICNIRP,FCC etc. have not recommended
stricter safe radiation guidelines.
Several countries adopted radiation norms which are
one by hundredth to one by thousandth of these
values based on their studies.
21. One cannot see or smell it and it effects long period. So
EMR limits should be decreased to avoid serious health
hazards to human beings ,birds, animals and
environment.
22. “Birds may come and go for a few centuries,
which is just a miniscule span in the
evolutionary cycle. As cities continue to grow,
some birds, mainly scavengers like crows
would proliferate at the expense of other
birds. Experts may be divided on the reasons
for the disappearance of birds, but everyone
agrees on one bad news: Once gone, these
birds would never be back.”
