Abstract

Electromagnetic radiations are inevitable part of twenty first century. The major sources of electromagnetic radiations are mobile phones and mobile towers. Enormous increase of mobile phone users cause high intensity electromagnetic radiation. This paper analyzes the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the growth of different seeds and also checks effect of different natural shielding materials. A statistical analysis of the radiation intensity in different regions of Cochin Corporation and Trivandrum are also tabulated using emr meter and compared with the bio-initiative report.
