Subject: Mobile Tower radiation hazards for Students, Teacher, Parents and
Public
Dear Sir/Madam,
We wish to draw your attention to the indisputable evidence of radiation
hazards from mobile towers presented in Bio initiative 2007 that got upgraded
in 2012 and 2017. All the three editions are available online with simple
google search is prepared by 29 scientists from 10 countries in the world
including 02 of them from India. The report that contains over 1500 pages is
not sponsored by any electrical or telecom company and is outspoken on
radiation hazards faced by human beings and need for the applicability of
Precautionary Principle to face the radiation emitting from towers, mobile
phones etc.
We write this letter to you after our tryst with Goa Government to request for
the monitoring of mobile tower radiation in Goa. From our correspondence with
Goa State Pollution Control Board it has been revealed that Goa Government does
not have facility for monitoring of mobile tower radiation and people who are
raising this issue are directed towards term centre in Nagpur, Pune etc. This
has been the experience for past three years.
Now we have come across Bio imitative Reports and realized that mobile phone
and mobile tower radiation is one of the cause of several diverse sicknesses
such as breast cancer, rising infertility, high hearing frequency loss,
fatigue, Partial memory loss, Dizziness, Sleeping Disorders, Skin infections,
Hearing impairments, Cardiac Problems, Cancer, depression, insomnia, ovarian
cancer, vision loss in school children from smart phones, brain tumors,
migraine, joint pains, memory loss, effects on gene and protein exposure,
damage to immune system, Effects on neurology, childhood concerns, Alzheimer’s
diseases, Autism, etc.
In view of the above dangerous scenario created by mobile phone technology you
are requested to take up following urgent steps:
1. Review the guidelines for installation of Mobile Base Stations Towers,
Goa State in the light of evidence of radiation hazard contained in
Bio-initiative 2012 and its upgraded version of 2017. We will be happy to share
the soft copies of these reports on request.
2. Examine the enforcement of the guidelines for installation of Mobile
Base Stations Towers, Goa State. There are over 50 complaints received at GSPCB
office and many are hanging in limbo as no radiation monitoring is done for
four years either from Nagpur or from Pune. Induct efficient radiation testing
capacity for the State of Goa.
3. Initiate mobile tower audit for all the Educational and residential
localities in Goa. Installations, it is observed, are carried on in violation
of the guidelines mentioned. Barely 10 meters away from the residential house
of Mr. Placid D’Souza there is mobile tower in Mapusa with 17 antennae. Barely
20 meters from Holy Cross High School, Siolim, there is mobile Tower with
nearly 20 antennae. Mobile Tower is being installed in residential areas in
Curduwada, Khandola, Ponda and opposed by villagers. And so is the case in
Merces, Tiswadi. Mobile Towers set up in residential areas in Bambolim-Nauxim
villages in spite of public opposition. All these are without any monitoring
facility of radiation.
4. Initiate discussions and awareness on radiation hazard in schools,
colleges and public forums like media, Panchayats. Goa boasts of being most
literate state. Its time Goa also becomes most radiation literate rather than
surrender our destiny to vested interests and telecom bullies who does not like
questioning of mobile tower radiation.
All these measures are necessary otherwise Goa will face accumulated impact of
low intensity radiation over the next few years, and we request you to oblige
and take action.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
