HOW RADIATION AFFECTS HUMANS
The Biointitiative 2012 report is published by 29 independent scientists and health experts from 10 countries, including India, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Canada, Austria, US and Russia stated a number of side effects of radiations from mobile towers:
Prolonged exposure can interfere with the functioning of the body, prevent it from healing damaged DNA, can produce immune system imbalances, create metabolic disruption and lower resilience to disease.
Headaches, difficulty in
concentration and behavioural problems have been found in children and adolescents; and sleep disturbances, headaches and concentration issues in adults.
Existing global public
safety limits don’t seem to be sufficiently protective of public health, especially when it comes to that of the foetus, newborn and very young children. Early childhood exposure may increase the risk of developing hyperactivity, learning disorders and behavioural problems.
