Hazards of Radio Frequency from Mobile Towers and Phones

Cell phone radiation damages DNA, inflicts cellular damage and creates a broad spectrum of health problems and diseases, including DNA mutation and cancer in humans. A group of scientist published this in a scientific journal “Oxidants and Anti oxidants in Medical Science” in March 2014, in a study called “Low intensity radiofrequency radiation: a new oxidant for living cells”.
76 studies (or 92.5%) proved that cell phone radiation inflicts cellular damage. Cell phone radiation affects production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS); these are molecules that form in our bodies as byproduct during normal metabolism of oxygen.
A healthy human body has balanced, non health-threatening amounts of ROS. However, microwaves cause overproduction of ROS and dramatically increase oxidative stress – body’s inability to detoxify itself and repair the damage. Too much of ROS damages lipids, proteins and DNA in cells, and disrupts all kinds of natural cellular interacting signals, resulting in wide spectrum of diseases.

The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use. 2B is the category that includes lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made this decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”



Also, a study in India, carried out by panel of Ministry of Environment and Forests reveals their is negative impact of mobile towers on birds, bees, humans, wildlife and plants.

Dr Devra Davis, President Environmental Health Trust and renowned Scientist has concluded based on her several years of research that the electromagnetic radiations from mobile phone and mobile towers result in cellular damage.

The Interphone Study is the largestof all the study findings into cell phone radiation and the safety of cellphones for humans. At a cost of $25 million, this is the largest study of cell phone use and tumor risk conducted to date. It found that “regular use of a cell phone by adults can significantly increase the risk of gliomas by 40% with 1640 hours or more of use.” This equates to about 30 minutes per day over ten years.
Also, EMF have been shown to cause other potentially harmful biological effects, such as leakage of the blood brain barrier that can lead to damage of neurons in the brain, increased micronuclei (DNA fragments) in human blood lymphocytes, all at exposure rates well below the limits in the current FCC (Fedreal Communications Cmmision) guidelines. Probably the most convincing evidence of potential harm comes from living cells themselves when they start to manufacture stress proteins upon exposure to EMF. The stress response occurs with a number of potentially harmful environmental factors, such as elevated temperature, changes in pH, toxic metals, etc. This means that when stress protein synthesis is stimulated by radiofrequency or power frequency EMF, the body is telling us in its own language that RF exposure is potentially harmful.

Ergonomics in the Office-1

Millions of people go to work every day by sitting down in front of a computer. These jobs certainly don’t come with the same dangers as working in a factory or with heavy equipment but the office job can pose very real risks to health. Neck and back pain, shoulder stiffness and wrist pain are a few associated long-term hazards. Fortunately, learning a few things about proper ergonomics in the office can go a long way toward mitigating these risks. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:   Have a Well Designed Chair:  If sitting all day is unavoidable, then having a good chair to do it in is a must. Look for a chair that has firm cushioning and easy height adjustments. Lower back and well-placed arm support are mandatory. Good Posture:  This seems obvious, but the best chair will not do any good if the person sitting in it is slouched over all day. The spine should be straight, keeping the torso perpendicular to the floor. Arms should come straig...

Fire Hydrant System

A fire hydrant, (also known as fire pumps, hydrant boosters, fire water pumps)is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply. These are high pressure water pumps designed to increase the fire fighting capacity of a building by boosting the pressure in the hydrant service when mains is not enough, or when tank fed. A Fire Hydrant with fully-on valve , releasing pressure water. Safe Operating Procedure- Fire Hydrant The user attaches a hose to the fire hydrant, then opens a valve on the hydrant to provide a powerful flow of water.  Most fire hydrant valves are not designed to throttle the water flow; they are designed to be operated either full-on or full-off. Attaching Hose with Fire Hydrant When a firefighter is operating a hydrant, he or she typically wears appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and a helmet with face shield worn. High-pressure water coursing through a potentially aging and corroding hydrant coul...
