The first step to resolving any issue is to identifying it in the first place. Our premise audits help in identifying the menace of Electromagnetic (Radiation) pollution at your homes. We also do EMF signature analysis of your home electronics appliances, analysis of your living spaces and sleeping positions. Basis these parameters, we look at providing solutions and answers to address the EMR/EMF problem

BRIGHTSANDZ TECHNOLOGIES HOME AUDIT REPORT (+91)9654465443
Spatial Placement
Brightsandz Technologies conducted an assessment of the premises of Mr. Amanjeet Singh residing
at Flat no 901, Tower A, Premier Urban Society, Sector 15, Part 2, Gurgaon 122001. The Premier
Urban Society apartment is a multistoried apartment which is situated at a recess without any tall
concrete buildings in the background. We found 3 mobile telecommunication towers in the North,
North West and South East directions of the Premier Urban Society locality. The location of Mr.
Amanjeet Singhβs house was facing the south east side, facing a mobile communication tower at a
distance of approximately 250 metres from his 9th
floor apartment.
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.
However, 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 β 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
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 β Mr. Amanjeet Singh and his wife β both of them
are in the age group of 25-35 years with sound health.
We donβt see any high risk profile member in the family β 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.

incidence of high radiation.

Floor apartment should not be
in the direct incidence of cell

that the antennas must radiate to
higher floors, there is a possibility
that few antennas have a positive
angle of incidence from the
vertical axis.
3. Living Room .5mW/sq.m The EMR at the centre of the
room was within recommended
limits of exposures.
4. Living Room Balcony 1.2 β 2 mW/sq.m We see risk zone in this part of
the house.EMR radiation are is
higher than admissible;
consistent and continuous
exposure could lead to negative
biological effects.
5. Living Room (Close to the
Balcony)
1.2- 1.7 mW/sq.m As with the high balcony
exposure, the immediate area
inside the house is also in risk
zone.
6. Living Room (WiFi Corner) 2mW/sq.m High incidence from the tower +
WiFi radiation make this spot a
high risk area. Even if the WiFi is
off, one has to negate the effects
of the cell phone tower

We were not able to measure the bathrooms, but given the axial placements in the tower, we
assume that the EMR incidence will not be high.
EMR: Home Mapping
To give a better representation of the readings, we categorized them under 4 heads β giving them
colours to indicate the safety specification.
Basis the readings, the following is the βheat mapβ of EMR incident on your residence.

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 β leading to higher radiation
incidences.
2. Our readings from the ground floor (lawn) β show that the tower is beaming at higher than
average power.
a. Lawn is an important part of a society living β where young kids and old adults spend
their play time and free time. Currently this lawn is not in a healthy state of EMR
exposure. It may risk the health of these people β both of who are highly susceptible to
EMR based health issues.
3. EMR incidences on the tower D of the Premier Urban Society which is closer to the
telecommunication tower will be higher.
4. We expect the radiation to be higher in the middle floors (3rd
to 7th
floor) of tower A and D,
Premier Urban society, which would be in the primary lobe of the incident signal
5. Initially we has assumed that the tower will not cause a high radiation exposure at your
residence β because of the distance and the height β thereby falling under a tertiary lobe.
a. However, in our observations, we found that your balconies in the 9th
floor have high
EMR incidence. Consequently part of the kitchen and the drawing room was also is
also seen to be at risk.
6. EMR exposure on your bed head sides are less than .5mW/sq.m
a. We find that your current sleeping positions are risk free though the left hand side of
the master bed has relatively higher EMR exposure.
7. It is important to understand that tower loads peak in the evenings around 9 PM β 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.

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 β 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

Moderate Risk
In close range, the reading is high. Your Chimney is at 6ft hieght. Even at a 5ft
distance, the EMF exposure is relatively high. We advise maintaining 2ft distance
from the chimney if possible unless unavoidable.
Fuse Box Within Safe limits
CellPhone

Home UPS on Moderate risk.
Proximity to the left headside of the bed increases risk. This is also important
because Gurgaon electricity may not be a very stable one. Fluctuations could
cause EMF outtages.
Smartphone High
On running a YouTube Video - we see extreme high levels of EMF generated. Use
of a Earphone is suggested. Unless important, we would advise you to use a
landline
WiFi Within Safe limits

Closure Remarks
Basis our observations and readings, the following are the findings
1. The combined measured radiation levels are relatively high in your balcony and adjoining
areas in drawing room, kitchen, smaller bedroom and master bedroom.
2. Most of the electric and electronic appliances in your home are within safe and permissible
limits of EMF
3. We perceive minor risk due to the placement of the AC stabilizer to the left side of the bed.
4. We would also suggest you to use precaution in using your smartphone for longer hours
basis its EMF signature.
5. Basis the limited measurements of your society premises, we find certain areas of Premier
Urban Society to have high exposures to EMR from the South-east Telecom tower.
6. However, we advise and insist that there should be no tower installations inside the society
premises.
