COMMENT : I quote from news reports all over India

QUOTE:

Radiation from mobile phones and towers poses serious health risks,
including loss of memory, lack of concentration, disturbance in the digestive
system and sleep disturbances, according to an inter-ministerial committee
formed by the ministry of communications and information technology to study
the hazards posed by mobile phones.



One
India also reported that the damages may not be lethal for humans, but they
worse for birds and insects as well. The committee has attributed the radiation
effects to the disappearance of butterflies, bees, insects and sparrows. 



The government report also says that  mobile towers should not be
installed near high density residential areas, schools, playgrounds and
hospitals. "The localized SAR value as per the Indian guidelines standard
is 2 watt per kg, averaged over a six minute period and using a 10 gram average
mass. With higher SAR values of mobile handsets the public could potentially
receive much higher radiofrequency exposure. We have recommended that SAR
levels to be lowered down to 1.6 watt/kg, as prescribed by the Federal
Communication Commission of US," said a member.



The eight-member committee, which included representatives from the health
ministry, department of biotechnology and member secretary, DoT, has
recommended that mobile phones not adhering to standard levels of specific
absorption rate (SAR) - a measure of the amount of radiofrequency energy
absorbed by the body while using a phone -- should be barred.



Member scientist, ICMR R S Sharma said that compared to Europeans, Indian
cellphone users are more at risk for adverse affect of radiation due the
country's hot tropical climate, low body mass index, and low fat content.
"We have recommended amendment in the Indian Telegraph Act 1885 and rules
so that only mobile handsets satisfying radiation standards should be permitted
in the country," he said. 

UNQUOTE.

 

Santosh would do well to Petition the President of India demanding
that his views be taken into consideration before the Government of India draws
any scientific conclusions. And that scientist R. S. Sharma from ICMR be sent
for training under Santosh.
