MUMBAI: Activists have petitioned telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, demanding a further reduction in the permissible levels of electro magnetic field (EMF) radiation of cell towers from 450 milliwatts /sq m to 100 milliwatts/sq m.
The activists have also demanded "citizen-friendly regulations" for mobile towers in densely populated areas, where they allege power output from antennae is beyond permissible levels. Cellular operators, however, said the existing levels were "safe" and there was no need to reduce it further.
