What is the safe radiation limit for cell towers?

Mobile Towers‐ EMF Radiation Norms: EMF exposure limit (Base Station Emissions) is lowered to 1/10th of the existing ICNIRP exposure level effective from 1st Sept. 2012. India now has one of the most stringent EMF exposure norms in the world.

What should be the frequency of mobile tower?

Cellphone technology uses transmission signals between 800 MHz and 3 GHz, while cellphone towers typically operate at 1900 MHz [1].

What is range of mobile tower radiation?

www.emwatch.com/Cellmasts.htm says that 400 metres from a cell tower is a safe distance for most people and if you detect more than 100 mVolts/m radiation in places where you spend several hours a day, you might consider moving.

What is the frequency radiation in India?

In India the prescribed reference level at 1800 MHz is 0.92 Watt/ m2 and at 900 MHz is 0.45 Watt/m2 as shown in Table 1.3 below. Table1.3: Revised EMF radiation norms for mobile towers (BTS) in India. Frequency. ICNIRP Radiation. norms.

What is EMF compliant?

Ensuring a base station is EMF-compliant involves: Identifying non-compliant regions or zones. Implementing reasonable and practicable engineering or administrative control measures for identified non-compliance zones. Monitoring and documenting the above steps rigorously.

What is tower frequency?

Cell tower antennas transmit in the frequency range of 869 – 894 MHz (CDMA), 935 – 960 MHz (GSM900) and 1810 – 1880 MHz (GSM1800). Also, 3G has been deployed in a few cities, in which base station antenna transmits in the frequency range of 2110 – 2170 MHz.

What is an acceptable EMF reading?

Magnetic fields for occupational exposures should be limited to less than 0.5 mT (5 gauss or 5,000 mG). Should I be worried about my exposure to EMF? The scientific information which exists doesn’t indicate that exposure levels which are commonly encountered have any health effect which requires corrective action.
