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.
