These were “high-risk areas”. Thirty-one spots had “unsafe” radiation, with levels two to six times the safe limit, while nine spots are “borderline”—just over the limit.<br /><br />The opening and closing ceremonies and the athletics competition of the Commonwealth Games, for instance, fall in “unsafe areas”. The Yamuna Sports Complex is also said to be “unsafe”.<br /><br />Safdarjung Hospital, Modern School, Vasant Vihar, and Delhi Police headquarters are in the “high-risk” zone. At Safdarjung, the level was 4000 mW/msq. It was the same at Connaught Place and ISBT Kashmere Gate.<br /><br />“We had got the Delhi government to stop the installation of cell towers in residential areas a few years ago. People were complaining of headache and other symptoms of radiation exposure,” said Pankaj Aggarwal, general secretary, Residents’ Welfare Associations’ Joint Front.<br /><br />http://emfnews.org/Lifewave-Cellphone-Matrix-Shield-Test.html
