## STATEMENT TO BE LAID ON THE TABLE OF LOK SABHA IN RESPECT OF PARTS (a) to (c) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. *221 FOR 4 TH  DECEMBER, 2019  ON 'RADIATION NORMS '.

(a) to (c) Sir, Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has taken necessary steps and adopted strict norms for safety from EMF emission from mobile towers. In India norms for exposure limit for the Radio Frequency Field (Base Station Emissions) have been fixed ten times more stringent than the  safe  limits  prescribed  by  International  Commission  on  Non  Ionizing  Radiation  Protection (ICNIRP)  and  recommended  by  World  Health  Organization  (WHO).  The  instructions  to  Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) in this regard have been issued on 30.12.2011. As per these instructions the exposure limit for the Radio Frequency Field (Base Station Emissions) has been fixed as:

| Frequency Range   | E-Field Strength (Volt/Meter)   | H-Field Strength (Amp/Meter)   | Power Density (Watt/Sq.Meter)   |
|-------------------|---------------------------------|--------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| 400MHz to 2000MHz | 0.434f ½                        | 0.0011f ½                      | f/2000                          |
| 2GHz to 300GHz    | 19.29                           | 0.05                           | 1                               |

(f is frequency in MHz)

Government  of  India  has  put  in  place  a  well-structured  process  and  mechanism  so  that Telecommunications Service Providers strictly adhere to these prescribed norms including submission of self-certificate by Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) before commercial start of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) site and extensive audit of compliance of self-certificates & BTSs. Field units of Department of Telecommunications (DoT) impose financial penalty on defaulting Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) whose BTSs are found exceeding the prescribed EMF emission limits. In addition, emission levels for these BTSs have also been brought within prescribed limits.
