Mobile towers in Goa strictly monitored, radiation within norms: Telecom dept

PANAJI: Misinformation about radiation from mobile towers is “alarming” in Goa, the department of telecommunications (DoT) said on Saturday. It said that several studies have shown that mobile tower electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation has no adverse impact on people’s health.

Officials from the Goa unit of DoT said that all mobile towers and their EMF radiation are being strictly monitored and that all the EMF from cellular towers in Goa are within Indian EMF norms.

“Scientific research is testimonial to the fact that there are no health impacts of these radiations on human health,” Union health ministry advisor T K Joshi said.
