Title: Comparisons of Non specific Health Symptoms Faced by Inhabitants Exposed to High and Low Power Density from Mobile Phone Tower Radiation Authors: Pachuau, Lalrinthara Abstract: In the present paper, we presented the study of complaints on thirteen (13) different health symptoms faced by inhabitants living near mobile tower – Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM 900) 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 2014. 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. Health complaints between the two localities were compared. It was found that power density is much higher in the area where there is mobile tower than the area where there is no mobile tower. Inhabitants living near mobile tower are having more health complaints than those inhabitants living in the area where there is no mobile tower. Responses from inhabitants who participated in the questionnaire from both the localities were statistically analysed and compared by performing Kruskal Walli’s t-test. Out of the thirteen (13) different symptoms studied it was found that the comparisons are statistically significant with p < 0.05 in six (6) symptoms. Women were statistically more affected (p < 0.05) than In the present paper, we presented the study of complaints on thirteen (13) different health symptoms faced by inhabitants living near mobile tower – Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM 900) and those inhabitants living in the area where there is no mobile tower.

Title: Study of Cell Tower Radiation and its Health Hazards on human body Authors: Pachuau, Lalrinthara Abstract: In this paper, we present the study of RF radiation from mobile tower and its health effects on human body. Power density of RF radiation from a mobile tower have been measured in close proximity to the mobile base station (GSM 900) at the selected locality in Aizawl, Mizoram, India, which was erected in 2009. Questionnaire was conducted on different health problems faced by the inhabitants living near the base station. The absolute power densities have been measured at different houses which is compared with standard limits given by various authorities like International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), Bioinitiative : 2012 and with the current Indian Standards. Frequency spectrum was analysed at different sites. Different health symptoms of RF exposure faced by the inhabitants within 50m and outside 50m from the tower are analysed and compared. The result is also analysed based on sex. It was found that the inhabitants living within 50m are having more health complaints than those living outside 50m. It was also found that females are having more complaints than males. This type of study is the first time report in the state.

Title: A Thorough Investigation of Electronic, Optical, Mechanical, and Thermodynamic Properties of Stable Glasslike Sodium Germanate under Compressive Hydrostatic Pressure: Ab Initio Study Authors: Pachuau, Lalrinthara Abstract: In this paper, we have tried to elucidate the variation of structural, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of glasslike Na2GeO3 under compressive isotropic pressure within a framework of density functional theory (DFT). The result shows stable structural (orthorhombic → tetragonal) and electronic (indirect → direct) phase transitions at P ∼ 20 GPa. The electronic band gap transition plays a key role in the enhancement of optical properties. The results of the thermodynamic properties have shown that Na2GeO3 follows Debye’s lowtemperature specific heat law and the classical thermodynamic of the Dulong−Petit law at high temperature. The pressure sensitivity of the electronic properties led us to compute the piezoelectric tensor (both in relaxed and clamped ions). We have observed significant electric responses in the form of a piezoelectric coefficient under applied pressure. This property suggested that Na2GeO3 could be a potential material for energy harvest in future energy-efficient devices. As expected, Na2GeO3 becomes harder and harder under compressive pressure up to the phase transition pressure (∼20 GPa) which can be read from Pugh’s ratio (kH) > 1.75, however, at pressures above 20 GPa kH < 1.75, which may be due to the formation of fractures at high pressure

Health Effects of Mobile Tower Radiation on Human — Case Study

Title: Health Effects of Mobile Tower Radiation on Human — Case Study Authors: Pachuau, Lalrinthara Abstract: In the present paper, we presented the study of complaints on thirteen (13) different health symptoms faced by inhabitants living near mobile tower – Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM 900 & 1800) and those inhabitants living in the area where there is no mobile tower. The study was conducted in fourteen different localities in Aizawl city and four different localities outside Aizawl city in the year 2014 & 2015. Questionnaires were conducted in all the localities. Power densities were measured in different places in all the localities. Health complaints between the localities were compared with that of the locality where there is no mobile tower. It was found that power density is much higher in the area where there is mobile tower than the area where there is no mobile tower. Questionnaire responses from all the localities were statistically analysed and compared by performing t-test. Out of the thirteen (13) different symptoms studied it was found that the comparisons are statistically significant with p < 0.05 in six symptoms. Significant Health complaints start to occur when average power density of the locality is more than 2.145 mW/m2. Women were statistically more affected (p < 0.05) than male. It was found that there was strong positive correlation between power density and health complaints with R2 value 0.853
