The main key points discussed in the research paper are radiation impact
from cell phones and towers electromagnetic waves on human health such
as head and brain tumors, other morbidity-related outcomes and
summarizes the biological effects of radio frequency (RF) and microwave
radiation. The report shows that the evidence available does not provide a
clear pattern to support an association between exposure to RF and
microwave radiation from mobile phones and direct effects on health. It
however cautions that lack of available evidence of detrimental effects on
health should not be interpreted as evidence of absence of such effects and
recommends a precautionary approach to the use of this communication
technology until more scientific evidence becomes available. ; “These days
we have Smartphones, Smartcards, Smartboards, Smart everything, but
consider this: if technology is getting smarter, does that mean humans are
getting dumber (ignore)?”
Keywords : Electromagnetic waves, cellular phone, radio frequency,
microwaves, radiation effect, wireless router.

I. INTRODUCTION
The last two decades witnessed a magical revolution
in the field of telecommunication as well as in data
communication. The number of cell phones and cell
towers are drastically increasing all over the world.
The developments in cell phone technology have
made our life much more comfortable. Cell phone
communicates in the range of radio frequency, which
is a low frequency non-ionising radiation. A mobile
phone base station is designed in such a way that the
cell phones coming under its coverage area should be
able to transmit and receive enough signal which
enables proper communication within a few
kilometers. In order to establish more coverage, most
of the towers are mounted near populated areas.
People living nearer to the towers receive much more
signal level than required for most of the times. In
India, lacks of people live in the high radiation zones.
But most of the people are not concerned about the
effects of radiations on health and possible safety
measures to overcome the hazards. This demands the
