Technology has given us the boon of information and content services where we like.. But we are forgetting the bad aspects of it.
Please Raise your hands who use the most exciting application
WhatsApp
Sending/Receiving of SMS using smartphone application, WhatsApp* *Meter is kept at a distance of 2 cm from mobile phone
Imagine !!!
The Difference
Before 8 seconds of receiving SMS, readings go worse as these applications require the user to remain online.
But, the electromagnetic waves used by the wireless systems are absorbed by the human body
So this has created health issues Mobile Technologies are showing latest advancements with number of additional features attracting number of users but without realizing about electromagnetic pollution they are creating.
Need/Concerns of Study
Our living environment is being swamped with electromagnetic fields that raise intensity levels and show a wide range of novel characteristics. We should be aware about the danger of Radiation levels. There has been a tremendous increase in number of Mobile Phones users which continues to grow like a hockey stick curve.
Sources of EM Pollution
Mobile Towers Home Appliances Metallic Objects
Car Batteries
Electricity Lines
Survey Conducted
A survey was conducted among 200+ undergraduate students of 5 Engineering Colleges in Punjab, India. A questionnaire was developed and the primary data in the form of Yes/No to these questions was collected and studied. Done an analysis of mobile usage habits among college youth
Asked simple questions like do you sleep with mobile near you, usage habits and call durations
Results show that they are largely unaware of the threats of radiation

SMS Distance
-2.5 dBm 2 cm
Samsung Cell Phones are having lesser SAR values and accordingly radiation level is also less
Maximum power radiated by 3G is 0.125 watts for 5 MHz bandwidth, on the other hand, GSM phones radiates an average power of 0.25 and 0.125 watts for 0.2 MHz bandwidth.
CDMA phones transmit a maximum 1 watt power.

Step Up Tech. 2G uses step down technology in which mobile starts with maximum power for several seconds and step down its power to such extent so that call is established. On the other hand, 3G uses step up mechanism which means phone starts with low power and step up its power.
