| Question: |
A year ago, a number of Mobile towers came up across our office and we all had headaches, high stress levels and could not concentrate on our work.
We were suggested to install 3 mm Lead sheets on our windows and walls facing these towers and we were successful in keeping out the damaging radiation. Although we shut off daylight and the view, that was the only way we could survive.
Now our builder put up 4 different mobile masts clandestinely on a Sunday, just above our roof and we are back to Severe headaches, muscle twitching, “Noise” on our computer monitors and High Stress levels. By noon, most of us are as tired as working all day.
We laid Lead sheets on our roof, but this time the result was not sufficient to save us, probably because the distance from the mast to us was just 4 meters.
We request information from any person having Technical or Legal information to help us get these towers removed.
( Cyrus Engineer, New Delhi ) |
| Answer: |
The effects of EMR are quite well known by now and lot of literature /reports are available on net and scientific journals. Though a section of scientists still negate the findings; saying that these are inconclusive in that advocating that the levels of radiation emitted from cell towers is within safe limits and hence un-harmful. The observation made by you and effects reported are quite eye opener.
For shielding of buildings and dwelling units in vicinity of mobile towers much more effective and cheaper materials compared to lead sheet are available with us. Please visit our web site www.cogentemr.com for more information. Incidently lead is hardly ever used as shielding material for EMR, it is used to cut off ionising radiation like x-rays and gamma rays.
