STUDY AND COMPARISON OF HEALTH SYMPTOMS FACED BY INHABITANTS NEAR MOBILE TOWER AND THOSE WHO WERE NOT EXPOSED

Abstract

In the present paper, we presented the study of complaints on thirteen (13) different nonspecific health symptoms faced by inhabitants living near mobile tower and those inhabitants living in the area where there is no mobile tower. The study was conducted in two different localities in Aizawl in the year 2013. For the study, questionnaires were conducted in both the localities. Power densities were measured in different places in both the localities. Frequency spectrum was taken in each locality. It was found that those living near mobile tower were having more complaints on the nonspecific health symptoms than those living in the area where there is no mobile tower.
