Alarming Trend of Radiations Due To Cell Phone and Projections for 2050 | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Research, development and usage of wireless technology products have altered the landscape of modern human beings in countless ways, in office, at home and on mobility. However, they have created and added a new pollution in the environment i.e. electronic pollution due to EMF radiation. Inspite of recent studies indicating possible harmful effects of EMF radiation on environment, there is no long term data available on the amount of power density radiation by cell phones. The aim of this research work is to experimentally measure the EMF radiation by cell phones during on / Idle mode, Rx and Tx modes. The experiments were conducted using Nardas 8718B radiation survey meter at the centre frequencies of 800 MHz and 1800 MHz. Population and cell phones projections for India, China, USA and the whole world are also included in this research work. An attempt is made to indicate EMF levels radiated into environment from 2020 to 2050.
