Cell phone radiation impacting Gauriya in Madhya Pradesh

A study published in Shodh, Samiksha aur Mulyankan (International Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue-7 (published in August 2009) on Effects of cell phone radition on Gauriya sparrows - Passer Domesticus by S D Dongre and R G Verma of Department of Zoology, Jayvanti Haksar Government Post Graduate College, Betul. concluded that the Passer domesticus are fast disappearing from contaminated with electromagnetic waves arising out of increased number of cell phone to Bhopal, Nagpur, Jablpur, Ujjain, Gwaliar, Chhindwara, Indore & Betul.Wireless telecom revolution is catching on at the expense of a tiny winged creature the Passer domesticus. The National Research Council of Canada did lots of studies on the non-thermal effects of microwave radiation on birds in the 1960s, before the wireless industry took They found that bird feathers acted as dielectric receptors. Birds that had been plucked under anesthesia showed no reaction to radiation until the 12th day, when their feathers started to grow back. Studies also showed altered EEG patterns, escape behaviour, other signs of stress in the form of vocalization, defecation and initiation of flight.

In the study the researchers had examined small scale geographic variation in the number of Gauriya bird and the strength of electromagnetic radiation from cell phone base station. The long term exposure to low intensity electromagnetic radiation 900-1900 MHz down link frequency from cell phone base station on the number of Passer domesticus during the rainy , winter and summer season was studied in the Bhopal, Nagpur, Jabalpur, Gwaliar, Indore, Ujjain, Chhindwara & Betul .
