Although the exposure from base stations will be many times lower than from using a mobile phone, the Stewart Group acknowledged that there was some public concern about base stations located on or near schools. The pattern of radio waves emitted is generally even, but there is a zone within each cell where the concentration of waves will be slightly higher. The base station operator will be able to provide information about the pattern of radio wave emissions if a school or parents are concerned about the possibility that this zone includes a school or any part of its grounds.
Within the overall distribution of radio waves from base station across its cell, there is a zone where the concentration is higher than elsewhere.

MOBILE USAGE UNDER AGE 16
MOBILE PHONES ARE FOCUSING CHILDREN UNDER 16
Mobile phones are very popular with young people and have obvious attractions for personal security and keeping in touch with others. Parents and young people should make their own informed choices about the use of mobile phones. The current balance of evidence does not show health problems caused by using mobile phones. However the research does show that using mobile phone affects brain activity. There are also significant gap in our scientific knowledge. Because the head and nervous system are still developing into the teenage years, the expert group considers that if there are any unrecognised health risks from mobile phone use, then children and young people might be more vulnerable than adults.
The expert group has recommended that in line with precautionary approach, the widespread use of mobile phones by children (under the age of 16) should be discouraged for non-essential calls.
In light of this recommendation the UK Chief Medical Officer strongly advise that where children and young people do use mobile phones, they should be encouraged to:
Use mobile phones for essential calls only.

MOBILE SAVES HEALTH
Mobile phones are low power devices that transmit and receive radio waves. These connect each phone to a network of base stations, so that users can make and receive calls.Radio waves have been used for communication for over 100 years. But the speed with which mobile phones have become so widely used is unprecedented. This has led to public concern about their impact on health.Radio waves emitted above certain levels can cause heating effects in the body. International guidelines seek to ensure that exposure is kept below that level. All mobile phones sold in the UK meet these guidelines.
The balance of current research evidence suggests that exposure to radio waves below levels set out in international guidelines do not cause health problems for the general population. However, there is some evidence that changes in brain activity can occur below these guidelines, but isn't clear why. There are significant gaps in our scientific knowledge. This has led a group of independent experts (Commissioned by government and headed by Sir William Stewart) to recommend "a precautionary approach" to the use of mobile phones until more research findings become available.
If you use a mobile phone, you can choose to minimise your exposure to radio waves. These are ways to do so:
Keep your calls short Consider relative SAR values when buying a new phone.
How mobile affects driving?is it affect concentration or some other else?

How Safe are Cell Phones?
Cell phones are almost as common as pocket change these days. It seems nearly everyone, including an increasing number of children, carries a cell phone wherever they go. Cell phones are now so popular and convenient that they are surpassing landlines as the primary form of telecommunication for many people.
Is Growing Cell-Phone Use Increasing Health Risks?
In 2008, for the first time, Americans are expected to spend more on cell phones than on landlines, according to the U.S. Labor Department. And we not only love our cell phones, we use them: Americans racked up more than a trillion cell-phone minutes in the first half of 2007 alone.
Yet, as cell-phone use continues to grow, so does concern about the possible health risks of prolonged exposure to cell-phone radiation.

How to Protect Yourself from Cell Phone Radiation
I have fought for cellphone radiations,As we all know cell phones are making radiations then i was searching for how 2 protect ourself from cell phone radiations.
Some studies have indicated a link between cell-phone radiation and cancer, lower bone density, infertility in men, and changes in brain activity—the latter after less than an hour of exposure. Other studies have shown no adverse health effects associated with cell-phone use, but many researchers believe those results will change after enough time passes for future studies to show the long-term effects of ubiquitous cell-phone use by a significant number of people.
Despite the mixed research results, many people are increasingly concerned about the possible health effects of frequent, long-term exposure to cell-phone radiation.
How Our Bodies Absorb Cell Phone Radiation
Different cell-phone models emit different amounts of radiation, so one way to reduce your exposure is to purchase a cell phone with a lower SAR (specific absorption rate), a number that indicates how much radiation is absorbed by the human body when the handset is being used at maximum power. The Environmental Working Group has compiled a list of SAR values for most cell phones.
SAR values are useful, but they are bound to increase as cell phones become more powerful and add new features and applications. How you use your cell phone is a much better way to control your exposure to cell-phone radiation.
Lower Your Exposure to Cell Phone Radiation
The following tips will help you protect yourself from cell phone radiation by enabling you to use your phone in ways that lower your radiation exposure.
