Electromagnetic Radiation
• Cell Towers– Safe limit for radiation
– Cell size
• Cell phones• Cell phones– Radiated power ( proportional to R2)
– Proximity
• Electromagnetic pollution – Depends on the total energy from BTS and cell
phones: function of safe limit/cell size, BTS, active
cell phones, range and call duration

Increasing concerns about EMR
• 1998, ICNIRP - No long term effects
•2010, Inter Ministerial Committee - Current
limits not sufficiently protective of public health
• May 2011, Council of Europe - Reconsider the • May 2011, Council of Europe - Reconsider the
scientific basis and apply precautionary
principle, Protect children, Potentially harmful
to environment
• May 2011, WHO- Possibly carcinogenic to
humans (Group 2B)26 July 2011 6

Carbon foot print
• As per TRAI Consultation paper 3 Feb 2011,
the carbon foot print due to the electrical
power and diesel generators used for cell
towers used is estimated to be 13 million towers used is estimated to be 13 million
tons.
• The cost is ~ Rs15,000 crores
• Mobile towers are expected to double in the
coming 5-7 years

Why GMC?
• Beyond carbon footprint
• Apply ‘Precautionary Principle’ to EMR in
experimenting with ‘safe limits’
• Minimize electromagnetic pollution • Minimize electromagnetic pollution
• Practical research in electromagnetic pollution

Goals of GMC
• Provide basic mobile communication services
while addressing all factors contributing to
electromagnetic pollution.
• Reduce cell size down to 0.5 – 1 Km (20 to • Reduce cell size down to 0.5 – 1 Km (20 to
30dB)
• Reduce over-the-public-air radiated energy
– Public /private air spaces (10 to30 dB)
– Strategies to reduce call density and energy

Approach• Lower limits of EMR, in a phased manner, and
eventually operate at levels considered to be
‘completely safe’ for humans, flora and fauna.
• Use Solar/Fuel Cell Power to minimize carbon foot
printprint
• Practical research
– Modeling, reducing and minimizing EM pollution
– Quantify health of the population, flora and fauna in GMC
zone as a control group
– Transparently record, monitor, analyze and publish results
objectively and credibly.
