Mobile Tower Radiations Are Safe: Sibal

Union Communications and IT minister, Kapil Sibal has said that cellphone tower emission levels are safe for human beings. To support his statement, Sibal added that the government had set up an inter-ministerial committee, which found that the amount of radiation coming from towers is just 1% of the prescribed limit.

Additionally, later this year the prescribed mobile phone SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) safety level will be reduced from 2 to 1.6. While this might bring some respite to cellphone addicts, many still consider mobile phones as a health hazard. What's more concerning is that WHO (World Health Organisation) has categorised mobile phones in group 2B. In simple words, it means that cellphones may cause cancer!

To sum it up, it's still unclear whether cellphones and their network towers are completely safe. However, even if it proves to be harmful in the least, would you stop using it?
