As part of an awareness campaign by the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the experts have assured mobile phone users that radiation does not affect the health of a person.
In a video series which would soon be uploaded on YouTube, Dr Bhavin Jankharia, Mumbai-based eminent radiologist and president of the Indian Radiology and Imaging Association, said, "Mobile tower radiation is inherently a type of radiation that we believe does not produce any kind of significant harm to humans."
Various environmental groups, NGOs and activists in India have voiced their concerns over adverse health affects from Electromagnetic Field (EMF) emissions from antennas on cell towers and mobile phones.
This has led to opposition against setting up of mobile phone towers on buildings by various resident welfare associations in cities.
