Spatial Placement
Brightsandz Technologies conducted an assessment of the premises of Mrs. Priyanka Banerjee
residing at Flat no 8, DDA SFS Apartments, Pocket 1, Sector 9, Dwarka, New Delhi 110075. The DDA
pocket 1/sector 9 apartment are low rise apartments (G+3) situated at the northern corner of Sector
9 in Dwarka on the corner side of the Mall road and Road number 224. Pocket 1, DDA Sector 9 has
two tower clusters on the North East direction across the Mall Road on top of Polka bakery. There
is another tower in the East at 400 metres across the Mall road behind the Shiksha Bharti school.
The fourth tower is behind the Prashanthi Dham Sai temple at 1 km distance from the pocket.
The location of Mrs. Priyanka Banerjee’s house is facing the Polka telecommunication tower
clusters on the north east side at approximately 150 meters, and the 2nd
mobile telecommunication
tower at a distance of approximately 400 metres on the south east direction behind Shiksha Bharti
School. The 3rd
floor location and the 4th
floor terrace location of Mrs. Priyanka Banerjee’s house is
in the primary lobe of the antenna EMR throw (high EMR instance). The EMR throw and the
intensity of incident radiation is highest in the primary lobe of the radiating tower. Please refer to
the illustration below to elaborate the primary lobe.

Devices Used
We have used hand held digital Dossimeter (Cornet 78DS) to monitor and assess the radiation
microwaves ranging from 100MHz to 8GHz. This includes Radio Frequency from GSM/3G at
900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz; CDMA 800MHz; LTE 2300MHz(on trials) and WiFi/WLAN/
Bluetooth frequency bands.
For Appliance EMF measurements, we have used hand held analogue Gaussimeter (Trifield 100XE)
which measures electrical and magnetic fields.
What standards are we following?
Indian government, DoT and TRAI has adopted standards specified by ICNIRP guidelines for cell
tower radiation. The ICNIRP guidelines refer to the radiating intensity (EMR radiating from the
tower) which is different from the incident intensity (EMR incident on the individual).
The major shortcoming of the ICNIRP standard is that it protects against short term gross heating
effects. It doesnot take into account significant biological effects such as oxidative stresses leading
to cancer and cell damage from long term microwave radiation exposure. This is the reason why
most of the advanced economies have adopted much more stringent radiation norms than those
proposed by ICNIRP.
Brightsandz follows a far more stringent standard laid out by the BioInitiative report 2007 – which
suggest 1 milliWatt/sq. metre outdoor exposure and .1 milliWatt/sq. metre in home exposure. Thus
the standards that we follow are as follows

5
Incident Radiation/ EMR Categorization
~.1 mW/sq.m Very Safe
.5-1 mW/sq.m Safe
Greater than 1 mW/sq.m Risk
Significantly greater than 1 mW/sq.m Very High Risk
Resident Profile
We find that there are 2 members in the family – Mrs. Priyanka Banerjee and her husband – both
of them are in the age group of 35-45 years.
We don’t see any high risk profile member in the family – Infant, 60+ adult or any person with
medical condition.
EMR: Readings & Summary of Observations
The radiation measurement are summarized in Table 1. We had switched of the home mains to
reduce the interference from domestic electric and electronic appliances.

2. Open corridor area outside
the main entrance
11 – 16 mW/sq.m This is a very high amount of
radiation to be consistently
exposed. Primary lobe exposure is
very high.
3. Living Room window (with
mesh and glass panes open)
8 - 12 mW/sq.m Your living room has unhealthy
amounts of exposure to EMR
radiating from the Polka bakery
tower clusters
4. Living Room window (with
mesh panel open)
5-6 mW/sq.m We see risk zone in this part of
the house. EMR radiation are is
higher than admissible;
consistent and continuous

16. 2nd
Bedroom (Bed Head) .6 – 1.3 mW/sq.m Left side is .6 (Safe)
Right side is 1.3 (Moderate risk)
Second bedroom is irradiated by
the 2nd
mobile tower behind
Shiksha Bharti school. Since the
distance is comparatively longer,
the intensity is lower
17. 2nd
Bedroom (Balcony) ~ 3 mW/sq.m High Risk. This area is prone to
radiation incident from the Polka
cluster of towers as well as the
South Eastern tower). However at
the time of measurement, the
reading was more controlled as
compared to the drawing room.
Distance between the tower and
the balcony is ~400 metres.
Hence the incidence is
controlled. However radiation is
still high in this area.

with the high instance of EMR
incidence in the open areas facing
the Polka tower cluster.
22. Roof Room/ Studio (By the
Window)
1.2 – 2 mW/sq.m Distance between the south east
tower and studio windows is
around 400 metres. There is a
possibility that point of incidence
is in the secondary or tertiary lobe
of the radiation footprint from
south east tower.

Conclusions from the EMR assessment of your home and living premises
1. EMR as a factor has a high correlation with occupancy. Higher occupancy of the building
will mean a higher demand on the nearby telecommunication tower. In order to serve the
demand spikes, the tower will radiate at higher outputs – leading to higher radiation
incidences. Therefore, radiation intensity could be higher in the evening as compared to
afternoons. We have taken the readings at around 12PM on a working day.
2. Our readings from the ground floor (car parking) – show that the tower is beaming at higher
than average power.
3. Your residence is in the primary lobe of the tower cluster on top of Polka bakery.
4. It is important to understand that tower loads peak in the evenings around 9 PM – 11 PM
because of a lot of voice and data usage. We have visited your housing complex at a less
than average load factor demand. It is likely that the EMR incidences would increase in the
evenings. This could lead to higher exposures in the evening.
5. We have recorded extreme high levels of EMR exposure in the open corridor/ gated area of
your flat.
6. The drawing room window facing the tower cluster at Polka bakery recorded very high
levels of EMR. We suggest preventive measures such as glass films and EMR protective
window curtains.
7. Your main bedroom including the bed head-sides are relatively safe.
8. Your 2nd
bed room overlooks the 2nd
telecommunication tower (located behind Shiksha
Bharti School). Since the distance between your residence and this tower is around 400
metres, the radiation intensity is lower. However some parts of your 2nd
bedroom facing the
tower have high exposures thereof.
9. Your roof open area is also exposed to very high levels of radiation.
10. Your roof room has moderate to high exposure to radiation from the Polka bakery tower
clusters as well as some radiation from the South East tower.
11. We would advise window curtains and glass films on your window panes for the roof room.

EMF assessment
We also assessed the EMF from your domestic appliances. EMF is a natural by product of all
systems. The larger the electricity requirement of your appliance, the higher is it EMF signature (eg
AC, Invertor, Stabilizer). Magnetic fields are harmful but EMF incidences reduce with increasing
distance. Some other appliances such as Hair dryers, Shavers or Trimmers are used at close
proximity with the body – and even while their EMF signature is low, it harms the body because of
the proximity of use.
The placement of the domestic appliances in your home plan is indicated by the blue squares. We
assessed the same by the use of an analogue Trifield 100XE Gaussimeter.
The American Environment Protection Agency recommends EMF exposures no higher than 2-2.5
milliGauss on a continuous basis as a limit for human beings. We have used the following indices
for your EMF measurement.
Borderline Moderately higher than 2.5mG
Unsafe Extremely higher than 2.5mG
Safe Within 2.5mG
Devices

Risk Level
Reading
Summary Remark
WiFi Within Safe Limits
Invertor High Risk
Invertor EMF signature is 3mG at 1 metre distance. This is
outside the EPA specified safety limits for human exposure.
Air Conditioner Master Bedroom Within Safe Limits
Air Conditioner 2nd Bedroom Within Safe Limits
Even if the air conditioner in the 2nd bedroom is 7-8 years old,
it has a low EMF signature.
Fuse Box (Drawing Room)
Cell Phone Charger Within Safe Limits
iPhone 5S High Risk
EMF signature of iPhone 5S (2 years old) is very high. We
suggest changing the handset.
Computer UPS Within Safe Limits
Microwave Oven
Exhaust Fan (Kitchen) High Risk
The Kitchen Fan is old and it has a high EMF signature at 1m
distance.
RO Plant High Risk
The RO also has a high EMF signature. Since the RO and the
Exhaust fan are situated close to each other, the EMF at the
kitchen sink when both appliances are operational is higher
than the mandated sfaety standards
AC stabilizer (Main bedroom) High Risk
There is a high exposure to EMF from the AC stabilizer in the
bedroom. While it is not strong enough for the RHS headside
of the bed, it can be harmful for the long hours iron table
operation
AC stabilizer (2nd bedroom) Within Safe Limits
Refridgerator Within Safe Limits
Dining Area TV Within Safe Limits
Bed Room LCD TV Within Safe Limits
iMac Computer Within Safe Limits

Closure Remarks
Basis our observations and readings, the following are the findings
1. The combined measured radiation levels are very high in your gated space corridor outside
your main door and drawing room sitting area.
2. Your open space in terrace also has a high EMR exposure.
3. Your first bedroom is EMR safe – but your second bedroom and the roof room are perceived
as moderate risk areas. We would advise you to avoid these rooms for sleeping.
4. Your Kitchen has a high EMF rating – from the Microwave oven, the Exhaust fan and the
wall mounted RO. We suggest you change the exhaust fan.
5. Basis the limited measurements of your society premises, we find certain areas of DDA Sec
1, Pocket 9 to have high exposures to EMR from the Polka cluster telecommunication
towers.
6. Your current bedroom is safe from EMF and EMR.
7. We would advise you to change your iPhone 5S because it has a high EMF exposure.
8. We would advise you to keep the window mesh panel of your drawing room windows
closed. The metal lattice serves in reducing EMR in your drawing room.
Suggested Solutions
For your drawing room we suggest that you use window films and EMR shielding curtains to
reduce the intensity of EMR in your house. This will help reduce and limit the EMR outages that
you are exposed to currently.
You can get in touch with us for procuring the same for you.
