1.Does mobile tower radiation affect our health?
Radiofrequency (RF) emits radiation (non-ionizing "radio waves" such as microwaves). The parts of the head or body nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy and convert it to heat. The heat may cause damage to brain cells in our body.
2.Get cell phone radiation checked
The radiation emanating from the mobile tower has a great impact on our body and mind. In such a situation, if you want to know how many mobile towers are around your house, then you can get the information about the same. For this, you have to enter your name, location, e-mail, and your number on Tarang sanchar.gov.in or the EMF portal. On filling in the details, you will get information about the mobile tower of that area.
3.Check radiation frequency at your home
To get information about how much radiation is around the house, you need to visit the web portal of the Department of Telecommunications (DOT). After this, a team of engineers will visit your location to check the level of radiation.
4.Chargeable service
If you get more radiation than the prescribed amount, then you can complain about it at DOT. However, you will be charged Rs 4,000 for this service.

5.Risk associated with mobile phones
In a research, it has been found that mobile phones can change brain activity, reaction times, and sleep patterns. Moreover, excessive use of mobiles can cause stress, eye irritation, depression, and sleeplessness.
6.How to protect yourself from the damage?
It is highly advised that the mobile phones should not be kept near the head while sleeping. The user should use an earpiece or Bluetooth device to answer calls rather than placing a cell phone directly to the ear.
7.What does WHO say?
The World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) says radiation from cellphone handsets and towers is "possibly carcinogenic to humans" and may cause glioma, a type of brain cancer. Towers are more dangerous than handsets because they emit greater-intensity radiation all times of the day.
