Current scientific evidence do not support any "harmful effect" on the
human body by electromagnetic field radiation of cell phone or its
towers, said a Department of Telecommunications (DoT) official on
Saturday.
"The radiation norms in India are below the safe limits
prescribed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection and Word Health Organization," DoT Director General Sunil
Kumar said in a statement.
To dispel myths about electromagnetic
field emissions among citizens, a joint awareness workshop on "EMF
Emission and Telecom Towers" organized by New Delhi Municipal Council
(NDMC) and DoT.
Radiation Oncologist Anusheel Munshi from Manipal
Hospital said that World Health Organization (WHO) has reviewed over
25,000 articles and found that the electromagnetic field emission from
mobile towers have "no link on adverse impact of human health".
"There is no firm scientific evidence to implicate cell phone or towers for creating tumour or other health hazards," he added.
Vivek
Tondon, an Associate Professor at the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences (AIIMS) said that "latest research have also found there is no
link between sleep, infertility, hearing, cognition and brain blood flow
disorder in human body and radiation of cell phone or its towers."
