Effect of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields Emitted by Mobile Phones and Cellular Phone Base Stations on Human Health

Introduction "Electromagnetic Pollution May be the Most Significant Form of Pollution Human Activity Has Produced This Century, AH the More Dangerous Because It Is Invisible And Insensible." Andrew Weil, MD Physician Every day, we're swimming in a sea of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) produced by electrical appliances, power lines, wiring in buildings, and a few of other technologies that are part of modern life. From the dishwasher and microwave oven in the kitchen, to the cellular phone we hold to our ear - sometimes for hours each day - causes exposure to RF EMR (Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation), is growing and becoming a serious health threat or we can say a slow poison which is increasing but not seen. Cellular phone is one of the ingredients which are making the poisons more fatal. The wide spread use of mobile cellular phones have increased over the past decade in all over the World. It's no longer viewed as a luxury service, but recognized as an important infrastructure service that should be available, to all at affordable prices. They are now an essential part of business, commerce and society. Many studies have established the direct multiplier effect of increase in teledensity on economic growth. It is well understood from various international studies that there exists a causative relationship between increase in telecommunication penetration and GDP growth. In India use of mobile phones has also increased rapidly for last few years. The growth rate of wireless services in past year (November 09 to November 10] has reached to 44.2%.
