Analysis of Electromagnetic Radiations in Environment

Abstract

The continuous development in the Telecom industry has changed our way of life. It has never been so convenient and easy before to do the things as it has been today with the mobile telecom industry that has reached it heights. But as the technology advances the need for more speed, more coverage area etc are the requirements that the telecom operators try to meet. With that more and more high power mobile base stations are installed that in turn has raised the electromagnetic radiation levels in our environment. The issues concerning the interaction of radiations with the human health has also raised concerns that if the uninterruptedly exposure to these are safe or not. The goal of this study was to analyse the intensity levels of the electromagnetic radiations in the environment of different sites in Chandigarh and checking if the radiation intensity levels satisfy the norms that have been adopted by Government of India or not and also to compare these intensities to the various biological limits.
