ABSTRACT Scientific world always seeks to make our life better. The accelerated pace of technological trends enable us to communicate at the touch of a button. The cure of tumors is being worked upon and life is becoming more comfortable as the day goes by but the price of this comfort is nothing but more radiation. A typical example is iridium satellite phone. It has the best network coverage globally and what this translates to is more radiation. In simplest terms a good network is made up of strong electromagnetic waves.
The rapid increase in mobile telecommunications and the growing range of personal, domestic, commercial and medical equipment have considerably increased the number of sources of EMF exposure and are significantly changing the level, type and pattern of everyday exposure of the public. The sources of radiation are broad and examples include mobile
