Health Hazards due to Radiation from Mobile Phone Towers

We are all living in a sea of invisible electromagnetic radiation (EMR) pollution because of the constant exposure of humans to EMR in the very high frequency and ultra-high frequency range from both natural and man-made sources, such as thunderstorm activity, the earth's magnetic field, mobile phone towers, television transmitters, high voltage electric lines, mobile phones, computers, laptops, microwave ovens, etc. The authors of this paper use mathematical modeling to determine the amount of energy absorbed by human body tissues in terms of specific absorption rate (SAR) in an effort to educate the general public and society, particularly those who live close to mobile phone transmitter towers, about the invisible EMR and its detrimental effects on humans. The SAR standard values are also provided by the global system mobile (GSM) and other international cell phone standards e.g the Inter-national Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), World Health Organization (WHO), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Department of Telecommunications (DOT) International Telecommunication Union (ITU) etc. In this work, the calculated SAR values obtained from the modeling approach are compared with the permissible limits defined by these national and international agencies. The results show that the computed SAR values are within the safety limits recommended by the respective authorities.
