Accurate Estimation of Cell Tower Radiation and Its Effects on Human Beings for 4G Scenario

Abstract

The project entitled “Accurate estimation of cell tower radiation and its effects on human beings in the 4G scenario”, represents a critical investigation into the radiation emitted by cell towers and its potential consequences for human health. The primary objective is to identify and address the necessary infrastructure improvements that are essential to guarantee the safety and viability of 4G technology for widespread commercial use. As concerns surrounding electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure continue to mount, the Indian Government has taken proactive measures by implementing stringent radiation limits, which are set at 1/10th of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines. Despite these regulations, it has become increasingly evident that in practical day-to-day scenarios, cell towers operated by various providers may not consistently adhere
to these mandated standards. Our project has conducted precise and meticulous measurements of the power density radiated by these cell towers, providing a highly accurate and comprehensive assessment of their electromagnetic emissions. The project report extensively details the findings, shedding light on the power radiation patterns of these towers and their potential implications for human health. Moreover, our project report encompasses a series of in-depth case studies carried out in major cities across India. These case studies serve to illustrate real-world scenarios, offering invaluable insights into the tangible consequences of cell tower radiation and the potential risks and benefits associated with it. This research endeavors to contribute to the development of safer and more sustainable telecommunications infrastructure in an era of rapidly advancing 4G technology.
