Base Station Antenna: Better Connectivity at What Price

Dr. Shabeena Tawar

Abstract :

 Background:           Cell towers known as mobile phone masts or base stations, hold antennas and other communications equipment. Selective personal exposure to EMF as a consequence of urban living through wireless networks like high–speed internet access and services like wireless local area networks (WLANs), is increasingly common in homes, offices, and many public areas (airports, schools, residential and urban areas). As the number of base stations and local wireless networks increase, so does the RF exposure of the population, one of the strongest EMF is due to the Base station Antennas and widespread public concern looms as there aren’t sufficient studies to draw firm conclusions on effects of EMF. Methods:           Review of various studies and reports on the subject. Conclusion:      Electromagnetic radiation around the area of installation of a base tower should be measured at least once a year. Residents need to be informed to approach Health authorities in case of symptoms of disturbed sleep or any other abnormal symptoms pointing towards Cancer. Efforts should be made to keep exposure minimum.
