A.WHAT RESEARCH INTO HEALTH EFFECTS HAS BEEN DONE?

Over 50 years of scientific research has already been conducted into the possible health effects
from mobile phones, base stations and other wireless services including 4G (LTE).
The data from this research has been analysed by many expert review groups. Weighing the
whole body of evidence, there is no evidence to convince experts that exposure below the
guidelines set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
carries any health risks, for adults or children.

The US National Toxicology Program (NTP)


In 2016, the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) released draft findings of studies
examining the effects of non-ionizing radiation on rats and mice. Several populations establish a
control group, with males exposed to either CDMA or GSM cellphone radiation, and females
exposed to GSM cellphone radiation. That’s 2G rather than modern 4G. Researchers applied the
following exposure protocol to test the animals:

Rats and mice were exposed to GSM or CDMA signals with whole-body exposures of zero to 15
W/kg (rats were given a lower dose).
Exposure was initiated in utero.
All exposures applied 7 days a week, for about 9 hours a day.
A single, common group of unexposed rats or mice of each sex served as controls.
After two years, the study found several rats and mice exhibited tumors. However, these results
mostly concerned full-body exposure rather than partial-body exposure for humans. There also
weren’t adequate controls for exposure uniformity, making it tough to tell exactly how much
exposure each rat actually received.

However, it is important to remember a few rats getting tumors when exposed to between two
and four times the allowed limit (1.6W/kg) of RF EMR for cellphones does not constitute proof
of anything. You will never be exposed to the amount of RF EMR used in this study. With the
mice, they used ludicrously high power levels — up to 10W/kg for 2-year studies and 15W/kg
for short-term ones. All test groups actually had higher survival rates than the control groups,
illustrating how correlation is not causation.

WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT 4G (LTE) AND HEALTH?


In relation to radio frequency emissions and wireless technology and health, the general
conclusion from the World Health Organization (WHO) is;

“Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level
electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health”
WHO - About Electromagnetic Fields – Summary of Health Effects Key Point 6

In relation to wireless networks (including 4G LTE) and health, the conclusion from the WHO
is;

Page | 1
“Considering the very low exposure levels and research results collected to date, there is no
convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks
cause adverse health effects.”
WHO Fact sheet 304

On mobile phone safety the World Health Organization advise,

"A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether
mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been
established as being caused by mobile phone use."

Emr hazard , global warming and its subsequences with discretionary solutions in
perspective of the Gsm/Lte technology:
B) Is Globle Warming a border line issue of this contemporary era? If so ,Why ?
Ans: Climate change is one of today's most pressing global issues. Policies to guide
mitigation and adaptation are needed to avoid the devastating impacts of climate
change. The best part of emr technology resources reduce and trees are relieved, so
environment health and supporting. This paper reviews and discusses the literature
regarding health sector mitigation potential, known and hypothetical co-benefits, and the
potential of health information technology, such as eHealth, in climate change mitigation
and adaptation. The promising role of eHealth as an adaptation strategy to reduce
societal vulnerability to climate change, and the links between mitigation and
adaptation, are also discussed. The topic of environmental eHealth has gained little
attention to date, despite its potential to contribute to more sustainable and green health
care. Further research on potential emissions reductions and co-benefits with green, in
terms of health outcomes and economic effectiveness, would be valuable to guide
development and implementation of eHealth in health sector mitigation and adaptation
policies. Trees should be a priority.  They are objects of beauty.  They provide oxygen
for us to breath.  They provide shade on a hot day, which, depending on where you are
in the world, can even save lives.  They help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and
thus reduce global warming and all of its associated problems.  We are no longer living
in the world of 1000 AD, and if people continue to use the world’s natural resources with
abandon, then there can be consequences.
C) Which countries have been faced the challenge of Globle Warming the most Discuss
some international scenarios about successful coping up of this burning issue?

D) Is our country Pakistan facing Global Warming issue due to EMR hazard? If what are the
main reasons behind it? What can be the possible solutions as we are in the category of Third
World countries and having very limited economic resources?

The Government of Pakistan has raised an issue of proliferation of towers and the resultant
hazards affecting human health. The towers using antennas are one of the main sources of
producing Electromagnetic Energy or Radio Frequency "RF" Energy, including radio waves and
microwaves, which is used for providing telecommunications, broadcast and other services. In
Pakistan, Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) and PTA authorize or licenses most RF
telecommunications services facilities. Because of its regulatory responsibilities in this area, PTA
often receives inquiries concerning whether there are potential safety hazards due to human
exposure to RF energy emitted by transmitters. Heightened awareness of the expanding use of
RF technology has led some people to speculate that "electromagnetic pollution" is causing
significant risks to human health from environmental RF electromagnetic fields. This document
will analyse the subject in detail and help develop a strategy addressing this issue. It is very
unfortunate that no such research has ever been initiated in Pakistan before; therefore, there
are no standards or relevant documents available on the topic under discussion. This document
is extracted from various internet resources and modified in a manner that meets the
requirement of general public or public carrying some knowledge on the topic of RF
electromagnetic field.
MODIS holds special potential to address Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI). Normalized
Difference Snow Index is prototype of normalized differences indices. It is originated from well
known NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). This index artfully exploits the
interaction of snow with electromagnetic radiations. Snow responses visible portion of
electromagnetic spectrum with high reflectivity and in mid-infrared it reciprocates with
absorption, furthermore in same region of Electromagnetic Radiations (EMR) clouds are more
reflective than snow (Dozier 1989). This analogy helps to discriminate snow from clouds at
1.65\x1fm based fraction of EMR. Using this technique cirrus clouds remain troublesome to
differentiate from snow (Hall et al. 1995).
As explained earlier, electromagnetic radiation is defined as the propagation of energy through
space in the form of waves or particles. Some electromagnetic phenomena can be most easily
described if the energy is considered as waves, while other phenomena are more readily
explained by considering the energy as a flow of particles or "photons." This is known as the
"wave-particle" duality of electromagnetic energy. The energy associated with a photon
depends on its frequency (or wavelength). The higher the frequency of an electromagnetic
wave (and the shorter its corresponding wavelength), the greater will be the energy of a photon
associated with it. The energy content of a photon is often expressed in terms of the unit
"electron-volt" or "eV". Photons associated with X-rays and gamma rays (which have very high
electromagnetic frequencies) have relatively large energy content. At the other end of the
electromagnetic spectrum, photons associated with low-frequency waves have many times less
energy. In between these extremes ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and RF
energy (including microwaves) exhibit intermediate photon energy content. For comparison,
the photon energies associated with high-energy X-rays are billions of times more energetic

than the energy of a 1-GHz microwave photon. The photon energies associated with the various
frequencies of the electromagnetic
A biological effect occurs when a change can be measured in a biological system after the
introduction of some type of stimuli. However, the observation of a biological effect, in and of
itself, does not necessarily suggest the existence of a biological hazard. A biological effect only
becomes a safety hazard when it "causes detectable impairment of the health of the individual
or of his or her offspring". There are many published reports in the scientific literature
concerning possible biological effects resulting from animal or human exposure to RF energy.
The following discussion only provides highlights of current knowledge, and it is not meant to
be a complete review of the scientific literature in this complex field.
E) Give your suggestions to get rid of EMR hazards according to your OWN thinking?
The World Health Organization began a research effort in 1996 to study the health effects from
the ever-increasing exposure of people to a diverse range of EMR sources. After 30 years of
extensive study, science has yet to confirm a health risk from exposure to low-level fields.
However, there remain gaps in the understanding of the biological effects, and more research
needs to be performed. Studies are being run to examine cells and determine if EM exposure
can cause detrimental effects. Animal studies are being used to look for effects impacting more
complex physiologies that are similar to humans. Epidemiological studies look for statistical
correlations between EM exposure in the field and specific health effects. As of 2019, much of
the current work is focused on the study of EM fields in relation to cancer. There are
publications which support the existence of complex biological and neurological effects of
weaker non-thermal electromagnetic fields, including weak ELF electromagnetic fields and
modulated RF and microwave fields. Fundamental mechanisms of the interaction between
biological material and electromagnetic fields at non-thermal levels are not fully understood.
In addition to intensity, the frequency of an RF electromagnetic wave can be important in
determining how much energy is absorbed and, therefore, the potential for harm. The quantity
used to characterize this absorption is called the "specific absorption rate" or "SAR," and it is
usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) or milliwatts per gram (mW/g). In the
far-field of a source of RF energy (e.g., several wavelengths distance from the source) whole-
body absorption of RF energy by a standing human adult has been shown to occur at a
maximum rate when the frequency of the RF radiation is between about 80 and 100 MHz,
depending on the size, shape and height of the individual. In other words, the SAR is at a
maximum under these conditions. Because of this "resonance" phenomenon, RF safety
standards have taken account of the frequency dependence of whole-body human absorption,
and the most restrictive limits on exposure are found in this frequency range (the very high
frequency or "VHF" frequency range).

F. Continual invasion technology (GSM&) and directly collision with


mother nature.

Ray Bradbury suggest, in the short story there will come soft rains, that one day
technology would take over and there wouldn’t be a need for humanity. People were
concerned because they feared that robots would take humans place after the
development of the atomic bomb. People feared that one day they would lose their jobs
to robots, or even their sense of purpose in life[a]. He focuses on issues related to
technology developing at an insane rate and how perhaps many jobs performed by
humans would be given to these machines and robots. As well as, machines can be
helpful, like the one in the story. This smart house devoted itself to the family that no
longer existed; it can also be the destroyer of mankind. Obviously the machines in the
story were beneficial, as they were programmed to do everything the residents wanted
by rushing and getting everything done for them. Even though these machines made life
easier or comfortable for humanity, it could also easily misused to bring out our eventual
destruction. Also, the story suggests that nature doesn’t need us, but that we need
nature to survive. We will be our own destroyer of humanity if we keep technology at the
rate its going. Nature can be our real saviour if we learn to cherish and honour it. Right
now we currently undertake nature. If technology is taking over then what is our
purpose? Nature will not care for us because we take it for granted, and one day we will
not exist, but nature will still thrive and prosper. The picture represents humanity killing
Mother Nature and that is true because even though we might not know it we are
unintentionally killing nature by taking it for granted. We think we want are shiny new
electronics and technology, but the truth is we need nature.
For those who dismiss advocates of the “natural” as ignorant of science and deluded by
the logical fallacy that natural = best, Nathanael Johnson’s new book is an eye-
opener: All Natural: A Skeptic’s Quest to Discover if the Natural Approach to Diet,
Childbirth, Healing, and the Environment Really Keeps Us Healthier and Happier. If
nothing else, it is a testament to the ability of the human mind to overcome childhood
indoctrination in a belief system, to think independently, and to embrace science and
reason.
Nathanael Johnson was brought up by hippie parents who subscribed to every “natural”
belief and fad. His mother nearly died of a postpartum hemorrhage when he was born at
home (he weighed 11 pounds!). His parents didn’t report his birth, and he didn’t have a
birth certificate. He co-slept with his parents, never wore diapers (imagine the clean-
up!), was allowed to play in the dirt and chew on the snails he found there, was fed a
Paleolithic diet, was never allowed any form of sugar, didn’t know there was such a
thing as an Oreo cookie, was home-schooled, and did not know that public nudity was
taboo until he and his brother shocked the folks at a church picnic by stripping naked to
go swimming in the lake. Nudity was customary in his home, and he was encouraged to
“let his balls breathe.”

As he grew up, he started to question some of the dogmas he had learned from his
parents. He had been taught that good health resulted from forming connections with
nature, but he found that nature “generally wanted to eat me.” Now an adult and a

Page | 8
journalist, he understands science and how to do research. He tried to read the
scientific literature with an unbiased mindset, asking questions about the subjects in his
book’s title rather than looking for evidence to support any prior beliefs, and he arrived
at pretty much the same conclusions we science-based medicine folks did. But he still
appreciates that a natural approach has value, and he seeks to reconcile nature with
technology. He calls his book a comfortable refuge from people who are driven to
extremes.

I can’t do without technology: I’m not willing to give up antibiotics, or movies, or ice
cubes, or germ theory, or space exploration. But I’m also dismayed by the way faith in
technological progress tends to trade away beauty, and wonder, and joy, and all of
those slippery, unquantifiable things that – in the end – make life worth living.?

G. Step should have taken or should be taken ,especially in Pakistan


to make GSM /LTE technology as Green technology.......
Pakistan has to some keen initiative to make technology of GSM green technology .

 Use power more efficiently


 Reduce waste
 Limit the use of hazardous materials
 Create eco-friendly products
 Be sustainable 
 Encourage telecommuting
 Promote teleconferencing tools
 Use cloud-based services and applications[b].

Here are some examples of green technology.

Renewable Energy Sources

Renewable energy sources don't use fossil fuel. They are freely available, friendly to the
environment and generate little pollution. Apple, which is building a new corporate
centre, plans to use wind turbine technology to power much of the building,
and Google has already created a wind-powered data centre. Alternative energy
sources aren't limited to large corporations or to wind. Solar energy has long been
available to homeowners. It is already possible for homeowners to install solar arrays,
solar water heaters, and wind generators to provide at least some of their energy
requirements. Other familiar green technology sources include geothermal and
hydroelectric energy. 

The New Office

Participating in a telecommuting training session rather than flying to the main office,
working from home one or more days a week, and using cloud-based servicesrather
than maintaining large on-site servers are all aspects of green technology that are
already in place in many workplaces. Collaboration becomes possible when all team
members have the same app and instant real-time updates on projects prevent
avoidable delays.

On the corporate IT level, green technology trends include server and storage
virtualization, reducing data center energy consumption and investing in efficient
hardware.

Recycling Tech Products

When you buy your next laptop or desktop computer, check to see if the company you
buy it from will accept your old computer for recycling. Apple leads the way in accepting
old phones and other devices for recycling and makes it easy for buyers to return their
products to the company at the end of their usefulness. If the company you deal with
doesn't provide this service, a quick search on the internet will turn up companies happy
to take your old products off your hands for recycling.

Green Server Technology

The biggest expense technology giants face is often the construction and maintenance
of their data centers, so these areas get a lot of attention. These companies strive
to recycle all the equipment that is removed from a data center because of
modernization or replacement. They look for alternative energy sources to lower
electricity costs and purchase high-efficiency servers to save energy and reduce CO2
emissions.

Electric Vehicles

What was once a pipe-dream is becoming a reality. The production of electric vehicles
has increased and captured the imagination of the public. Although still in the early
stages of development, it appears electrics cars are here to stay. The reliance on oil for
transportation may finally be coming to an end.

The Future of Green Nanotechnology

Green chemistry, which avoids the use or production of hazardous materials, is an


important aspect of green nanotechnology. Although still in the sci-fi stage of
development, nanotechnology is projected to work with materials at the scale of one-
billionth of a meter. When nanotechnology is perfected, it will transform manufacturing
and healthcare in this country.
