This figure shows various health hazards at different power
density levels.
The vertical axis shows power density in microwatts/m2,
it can be converted to milliwatts/m2
by dividing the vertical scale by 1000.
For example, horizontal line corresponding to 100
microwatts/m2 is equivalent to 0.1
milliwatts/m2. Various health hazards just above this level
are: headaches, concentration and sleep problems, fatigue, etc. Whereas, in
India, we have adopted 450 milliwatts/m2,
which is 4500 times higher.
Similarly, horizontal line corresponding to 1000
microwatts/m2 is equivalent to 1
milliwatts/m2. Various health hazards at this level are:
adverse neuro, cardio effects, and increased cancer risk, etc. Whereas, in
India, we have adopted 450 milliwatts/m2,
which is 450 times higher.
This figure shows various health hazards with residential
distance to towers. As one moves away from the towers, health hazards
decreased.
