Description 269-274
Many types of invisible electromagnetic waves are produced in our atmosphere. When these radiations penetrate our
body, electric fields are induced inside the body, resulting in the absorption of power, which is different for different body
parts and also depends on the frequency of radiations. Higher power absorption may result into health problems. In this
communication, effects of electromagnetic waves (EMW) of 41 and 202 MHz frequencies transmitted by the TV tower have
been studied on skin, muscles, bone and fat of human. Using international standards for safe exposure limits of specific
absorption rate (SAR), we have found the safe distance from TV transmission towers for two frequencies. It is suggested
that transmission towers should be located away from the thickly populated areas and people should keep away from the
transmission towers, as they radiate electromagnetic radiations that are harmful to some parts/tissues of body.
