According to India’s iGovernment website, a total of 250,000 cell phone towers can be converted to the renewable energy solution.

Cell Towers are the base stations which control cell phone communication. The generic term "cell site" can also be used - to include all cell phone towers, antenna masts and other base station forms. Each cell site services one or more "cells".

Increased cell phone traffic also contributes to cell tower density. When a cell becomes too busy, a frequent solution is to divide it into smaller cells, which then require more cell sites.

(HYDERABAD: Two more cellphone towers were removed at Fatehnagar on Thursday by civic officials following complaints of radiation from locals.

On Wednesday, two cellphone towers were removed by the officials of the town planning wing of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) on a complaint by Sardar Patel House Owners Society of Fatehnagar. They alleged that a woman died of cancer due to electromagnetic radiation emitted by the cellphone towers. )

There is strong evidence that electromagnetic radiation from cell phone towers is damaging to human (and animal) health.

Where a base station is installed on top of a building where people live or work, those occupants may be quite unaware that they are in very close proximity to equipment which produces substantial electromagnetic radiation.

Cell phone towers cancer risk; During the last 5 years of the study they found that those living within 400 meters of either tower had a newly-diagnosed cancer rate three times higher than those who lived further away. Breast cancer topped the list, but cancers of the prostate, pancreas, bowel, skin melanoma, lung and blood cancer were all increased.

We agree that more research is needed, but it may be slow in coming. Those who might fund major studies are the very same organisations who would be disadvantaged if a definite link between cell towers and cancer were established.

Cell phone tower radiation limits

The current US standard for cell site radiation in the US is 580-1000 microwatts per square centimetre. Many other countries have set levels hundreds of times lower.

Now, In  India what is the tower radiation limits ?

Cell towers safe distance

But it seems that 400 metres is a safe distance for most people, and smaller distances may also be safe in some cases.

Cell tower health effects

Individuals differ in their response to similar levels of EMF radiation.

For some people, short term effects from cell tower radiation exposure may include headaches, sleep disorders, poor memory, mental excitation, confusion, anxiety, depression, appetite disturbance and listlessness.

This list is not intended as a diagnostic aid, as each symptom here can have many causes.

But if you and your family do not experience any of these symptoms you are probably not being overwhelmed by cell tower radiation.
