A cell phone uses radiofrequency signals to communicate with nearby base stations, allowing calls from most locations. Hundreds of studies have investigated potential health risks of cell phone use, with some suggesting a possible link between long-term, high use and certain brain cancers. More research is still needed to conclusively determine health risks. People can reduce exposure by using hands-free options or keeping phones away from the body.

This digital artifact is targeting persons who may be interested in knowing more about the status of radio signal health in Kenya. The document only gives a guideline as to what the country has done and also gives guidance on the recommended sources of information. More detailed information can be found in the WHO and ITU websites provided in the presentation.
According to WHO: Eelectromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading. All populations are now exposed to varying degrees of EMF, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances. A wide range of environmental influences causes biological effects. 'Biological effect' does not equal 'health hazard'. Special research is needed to identify and measure health hazards.
At low frequencies, external electric and magnetic fields induce small circulating currents within the body. In virtually all ordinary environments, the levels of induced currents inside the body are too small to produce obvious effects.
The main effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields is heating of body tissues.

Effects of Mobile Tower Radiation and Cases reported worldwideNeha Kumar
Biological Effects of Cell Tower Radiation - Neha Kumar
Presentation at Bombay Telephone User’s Association ( BTUA ), Mumbai on Jan 2010 - Consumer Awareness and Radiation Health Hazards from cell phones and mobile towers - Myth or Reality
Several health effects have been reported from Cell Tower radiation much below the radiation norms adopted by most countries.
Common problems that occur among below living near and below cell towers are Sleep Disturbance, concentration problem, memory loss, heart palpitations, etc. The radiations can also aggravate / lead to Alzheimer's and Parkin's disease.
Children are more prone to these radiations as their skulls are thinner and still developing. Studies by Dr. Om Gandhi show that radiation penetration in the head of an adult while using a mobile phone is 25%, in a 10 year old it is 50% and in a 5-year old it is 75%. Also pregnant women and older people are more susceptible to radiations.
All these health effects have been observed at levels much below the ICNIRP and FCC guidelines adopted by many countries.
Similar health effects have been observed in people in Germany, Israel, Sweden, Spain, UK, France etc.
Also lots of cancer cases have been reported among people living within 300 to 400 meter distance from the tower.
In a country like India where the population is very dense, achieving this is very difficult, hence it all the more calls for lower radiation norms.
At the end some case studies have been reported. These are only a few examples. The damage which has already occurred to the human race including environment, plants, animals, birds bees etc is phenomenal.
According to Australian Health Research Institute, if this trend continues, by 2020 - "2 Billion People will suffer from cell phone cancer". Even if 1% comes true, it will have devastating consequences to so many of us!!
All this calls for immediate need to adopt strict and lower radiation norms.

Good developments seem to be taking place post WHO excepts health problems. First time a person from the industry (Former Regional Director, West and South Operations, Indus Towers Ltd.) excepted that radiation from mobile towers lead to health problems at the event.
People were keen to look for solutions for the problem.
According to Dr. Manish Singhal, the Best Cancer Doctor in Delhi NCR, the number of mobile phone users enhanced, and the installation of mobile towers also saw an increasing tendency to cater to the vast majority of mobile users. Given the essential connectivity, mobile phones are now an inescapable part of our life. We require a mobile phone for various purposes in our homes and workplaces. 24/7 closeness with this multipurpose wireless machine makes us constantly exposed to the radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF). And the outcome is higher stress and fatigue, irritation, poor sleep quality, headache, and many more short-term problems.

Harmful effects of Radiation from Mobile Phones (1).pdfAhmad fraz
Mobile phone use is so widespread (it was estimated in 2011 that there were around five billion mobile phone users), public concerns about the possible health effects of mobile phones receive a lot of coverage in the media. Because so many people use mobile phones, medical researchers are concerned that any associated health risks, even small ones, could cause significant public health problems.
Mobile phones communicate with base stations using radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If RF radiation is high enough, it has a ‘thermal’ effect, which means it raises body temperature. There are concerns that the low levels of RF radiation emitted by mobile phones could cause health problems such as headaches or brain tumours.

Conclusion
Cell Phones
Cell phone is a brilliant innovation of the 20th century having solved a lot of the problems that are faced by the human being on their day to day life. Distances have been reduced to phone calls. However, research has shown that cell phones are carcinogenic to people. Use of the cell phones is associated with the increase instances of cancers especially the brain tumor (Lin, 2009). Currently, people in the world believe that communication has been made easier; apparently, cell phones are dangerous to their human health.
Background information on cell phones
Cell phones are emitters of the harmful radiofrequency energy which when its amount are too high and exposed to the human can lead to cancer. Radiofrequency energy emitted by a cell phone to a user is believed to damage the brain cells gradually. The damaged caused depended on the level of technology the phone has bee made. The distance that exists between the phone’s antenna and a given user determines the extent to which harm is caused.
Radiofrequency energy - Radiofrequency energy refers to a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic emission or radiation which tends to be absorbed by tissues near the emitter such as the phone. These forms of radiation can travel through a space or air leading to damage to the object it meets along the way.
Sources of Radiofrequency energy – there are many sources of radiation that exist in our surrounding. Such sources of radiations are cell phones, radios, television, radars, satellite stations and microwaves among others. In this case, the focus is given on the cell phone since it endangers the lives of many human beings.
Effects of radiation – Radiation emitted by the cell phones cause’s tissue damages, cancer and tissue damages. In addition, the ear exposure leads to the swelling of the eardrum leading to pain and even paralysis (Lin, 2009). The main focus is given to the brain tumor that is a very severe disease and difficult to cure due to its complexity and desire for expert's attention.
Lawsuits on the cells phones impact
Cell phone companies have been sued due to the impact it has on the huma ...
Wireless routers – as well as Bluetooth and similar wireless systems – give off electromagnetic radiation in the low-igahertz frequency.This level is considered potentially dangerous to people. And the danger is
compounded by several factors:
Just like the wireless signals themselves, the EMFs can pass through walls.
Most routers are not turned off at night, so you are exposed 24/7.
You are not only exposed to EMFs from your own router. Did you ever search for a wireless signal and see not only your wireless network, but also your neighbor’s and the one from the business down the street? All of them emit EMFs.
Scientists and researchers are uncovering the health risks of EMFs. Depending on the level and the length of exposure,
Those risks can range from insomnia and headaches to tumors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cell Phones and Your Health
1. National Center for Environmental Health
Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects
What is a cell phone? How does it work?
A cell phone is a portable telephone. A cell phone uses a network of“base
stations,”or fixed antennas, that allow users to place calls from almost any
location. The phones send and receive radiofrequency signals to and from
the base station. Base station antennas often are mounted on towers. They
can also sit on rooftops, water towers, power poles, and other tall structures.
All cell phones are tested according to government standards. Cell phones
cannot be marketed or sold unless they have passed these standards. More
information about these standards and test information for specific phone
models are available at the Federal Communications Commission Web site:
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html.
What is RF?
RF stands for“radiofrequency”energy or radiation. Electromagnetic radiation
consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating)
through space. Radio waves and microwaves released by transmitting
antennas are one form of electromagnetic energy. Often the terms
“electromagnetic field”or“radiofrequency field”are used to indicate the
presence of electromagnetic or RF energy.
What is non ionizing radiation?
RF fields are non ionizing radiation. Non ionizing radiation has lower energy
and longer wavelength than ionizing radiation. It is not strong enough to
change the structure of atoms it contacts but may be strong enough to heat
tissue. Examples include radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and infrared.
RF radiation is not the same as ionizing radiation, such as x-rays or gamma
rays. Ionizing radiation potentially can result in chemical changes in the body.
Because RF fields have lower energy they cannot cause ionization.
What is ELF radiation?
ELF stands for“extremely low frequency”radiation. ELF is another type of non
ionizing electromagnetic radiation. It is emitted by electric current such as
overhead power lines or anything else with electricity flowing through it. Even
though they are both non-ionizing, RF radiation is much higher frequency
than ELF radiation and therefore is potentially more harmful.
Does using a cell phone cause health problems?
Can using one cause cancer?
In the last 15 years, hundreds of new research studies have investigated
whether health problems can be linked to cell phone use. Some of these
studies have suggested the possibility that long-term, high cell phone use
may be linked to certain types of brain cancer. These studies do not establish

Cell Phones and Your Health
2. this link definitively. Scientists will need to conduct more
studies to learn more about this possible risk. Studies
have also addressed the risk of injury to drivers and to
pedestrians using cell phones; other activities of daily living
may also be associated with increased risk of injury when
using a cell phone.
In addition to investigating the association between cell
phone use and cancer, many researchers including the
World Health Organization are studying other health
effects. These include the potential development of benign
tumors of the nerve connecting the ear and the brain
(acoustic neuroma) as well as effects on the eyes, sleep and
memory problems, and headaches. Information about the
WHO study can be found at http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-
centre/pr/2010/pdfs/pr200_E.pdf .
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported
one other potential health effect. Studies have shown
that when some cellular phones are placed very close to
implanted cardiac pacemakers they can interfere with the
pacemaker’s normal delivery of pulses. For most digital
phones and pacemakers now in use, this does not have an
effect if the phone is more than about six inches from the
implanted pacemaker. Thus using the phone in the normal
talking position would not disturb the operation of these
pacemakers.
The FDA has more information about RF
exposure from mobile phones at http://
www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/
RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/
HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htm.
Do cordless telephones emit radiation?
Cordless telephones work the same as cell phones.
Therefore they do emit the same kind of radiation. The
cordless phone is limited to being close to the single base
unit to which it belongs, while a cell phone can be carried
around all across the country because it can connect
to the many base stations available for that cell phone
system. Scientists can not yet provide specific estimates
comparing the risks of using cordless telephones to the
risks of using cell phones.
How likely is it that a cell phone user
will develop a glioma or acoustic
neuroma?
The recent studies suggest a possible link between these
tumors and radiofrequency from cell phones.
More research is needed to establish this link conclusively
and to quantify these potential health risks.
What are the effects of acoustic
neuroma?
Acoustic neuroma is not a cancer. It is attached to the
acoustic nerve in the ear. Although it may grow in size,
it does not spread to other parts of the body. These
growths most commonly cause an abnormal sensation of
movement and/or hearing loss,
Are children at greater risk from cell
phone use?
We are not aware of any study that has looked specifically
at how radiofrequency exposure might affect children. We
do know that children who start using cell phones early
in life potentially will be exposed to radiofrequency for
longer periods during their lifetimes.
Should people stop using cell phones?
Cell phones can save time and even save lives. At the same
time, the use of cell phones may carry some risks. These
risks likely are comparable to other lifestyle choices we
make every day.
How can people reduce their exposure?
Functions that allow cell phone users to operate
their phones at a distance may reduce exposure to
radiofrequency. These precautions include the use of a
hands-free headset directly connected to the cell phone,
the speaker phone function, and carrying the phone at
least one inch away from the body.
Does using Bluetooth technology
reduce the possible health risks?
We are not aware of any study that has looked at the
possible effects of using Bluetooth technology to limit
radiofrequency exposure. Bluetooth technology does emit
radiofrequency radiation, thus it also may carry some risk of
exposure. A hands-free headset directly connected to the
cell phone does not rely on RF radiation; therefore, it likely
would pose less risk.
Are some cell phones safer than others?
We are not aware of a study comparing health risks for
different models of cell phones. Different models of
phones do vary in the level of RF radiation exposure; so it is
possible that risks of adverse health effects also may vary.
