ICNIRP WANTS TO DOUBLE INDIA’S EMF RADIATION NORMS...WHY? #ReduceEMFRadiation
The Issue
ICNIRP WANTS TO DOUBLE INDIA’S EMF RADIATION NORMS. WHY?
Citizens are more bothered of the actual radiation levels and not the Norms as the Actual Radiation levels affect their Health and not norms which are on paper.
We would like to inform you a bit more on ICNIRP as per information provided by the Council of Europe.
"ICNIRP is an NGO whose origin and structure are none too clear and which is furthermore suspected of having rather close links with the industries whose expansion is shaped by recommendations for maximum threshold values for the different frequencies of electromagnetic fields.”
How can anyone trust a NGO having links with Cellular Industry?
Credibility of ICNIRP is well known on the Internet and so also how WHO was and is being influenced by ICNIRP.
ICNIRP officials visited India last month to request the Government of India to double the norms for lower frequencies and thus doubling the maximum Power transmitted per antenna to 40 watts and the norms to 900 milliwatts per square meter in the 900 MHz frequency. This will be disastrous for India and later for the world.
Compare to this the United States FCC restriction of power transmission from antennae in urban areas. In urban areas, an ERP of 10 watts per channel (corresponding to a radiated power of 0.5 - 1 watt) or less is commonly used. (Presently India permits 20watts and 40 watts for 4G per antenna). Dr. Vijayalakshmi, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Texas Health Science Center, a spokesperson of COAI (Cellular Operators Association of India) has done her experiments with the following parameters. One antenna – One mouse and 2 watts power, compared to 20 watts and 40 watts in India which showed no harm to the rat.
This proposed revision if at all in norms by the Indian Government motivated by ICNIRP and Indian Cellular Industry is a BIG NO NO from the Citizens of Mumbai and India.
Radiation levels will increase substantially and also the risk of Cancer & Leukaemia epidemics destroying the Indian race completely.
We appeal to Citizens of all countries all over the globe to sign in this Petition against the increase in EMF Radiation norms as propagated in India by ICNIRP at a time when the Citizens are wanting reduced EMF Radiation norms to levels existing in Russia , Italy, Poland , Bulgaria and Lithuania of 100 milliwatts/ square meter same for all frequencies..
We would like to reiterate once again that the Citizens all over the world are not concerned with the Norms prevailing in countries but they are more concerned of the ACTUAL radiation levels in the country.
Our basic questions to the policy makers are :
Have ICNIRP done any research in laboratories with Antennae shooting out power at 20 watts / 40 watts each and rats at 5 meters distance? Did they survive? ICNIRP have no right to treat 1.30 billion Citizens as lab rats to fulfil their selfish commercial objectives in nexus with the Cellular Industry.
- How will ICNIRP know if they have not done any experiments?
- Can they give in writing that EMF Radiation is not 100% harmful to human health?
- ICNIRP norms are for 6 minutes (short term exposure) and not for long term exposure 24 x 7 for 365 days or for 525,600 minutes over a year. The WHO should come out with guidelines for Safe Radiation Density for 24 x 7 exposure to high power ( 40 watts per antenna) radiation . WHO should also have Power Density norms for a Cluster of Antennae ( 5 , 10 or 20 ) at a distance of 5 , 10 , 20 meters from Citizens.
- NTP study of USA 2016 says, Evaluation of the genotoxicity of cell phone radiofrequency radiation in male and female rats and mice following subchronic exposure.
- The Bio Initiative Report 2012 , The German Building Biology, The Austrian Medical Association all have norms much lower then present ICNIRP norms.
- An Ex Senior Toxicologist in US National Toxicology Program has mentioned that “With increasing scientific evidence of adverse health effects caused by radiofrequency radiation electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF), it would be irresponsible for the Government of India to increase the permissible levels of radiated power from antennas used for transmitting wireless telephone service without adequately addressing the health impact of this action on the general public.
- Guidelines that have been established by government agencies for human exposure limits to RF-EMF have been based on protecting individuals from adverse effects that might occur due to increases in tissue or body temperature.
- Results reported recently from studies in laboratory animals by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), demonstrate that tumors in the brain and heart as well as DNA damage in brain cells can be induced by RF-EMF at exposure intensities that do not cause measurable increases in body temperature.
- These results will (or should) lead to reductions in permissible exposure limits to RFR by government regulatory agencies.
- Thus, if the Government of India decides to allow increased power emissions from cell towers (base stations), then it is incumbent on the Government to inform its citizens on how this action will increase their exposures to RF-EMF and increase their risks of adverse health effects - most important is that the Government address the increase in health risks for exposed children
Our Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi has said of Mobile Towers on radiation. He has written under his signature that “Microwaves and Radiation through Mobile Towers proved killers to the creatures and bees.”
TC95 Chairman Intimation to all TC95 members and also a request to send comments to Ron Petersen from USA before 31 August 2016. We have seen today September 07,2016 The Chairman and few others from ICNIRP who were in New Delhi and lobbying with DoT to increase our EMF radiation norms to double the existing radiation norms, was an exercise in this direction , since the major countries in the world Russia, China and European Countries Italy, Poland , Lithuania are at much lower levels for all frequencies at 100 mW/m2.
India is 4.5 to 10 times higher according to DoT communication to Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT ( 2013 – 14)
This is a BIG NO NO from the Citizens of Mumbai and India.
Citizens Group of Mumbai requesting DoT and the Government of India to reduce the norms to the levels existing in China, Russia, Italy and Poland to 100 mW/m2 for all the three frequencies.
France follows ICNIRP Norms which are ten times higher than Indian norms but has actual radiation levels below 20 mW/m2.
The request to increase Indian radiation norms is preposterous and unacceptable to the Citizens.
