This study generally aimed to identify potential hazards through risk assessment and utilization of a device that would detect the level of radiation within a cellular tower site vicinity. Specifically, this research study aimed to: (a) assess the current scenario in selected areas through risk management; (h) identify the intensity and dose of non-ionizing electromagnetic waves that could be harmful to the biosystem through utilization of radiation detection device; (c) determine the associated risk with the level of radiation; (d) figure out if risks are correlated to age, distance, gender and years of exposure. and (e) suggest possible recommendations to lessen the weight/ effect of electromagnetic frequency radiation.
The identified risks in the radiation from cellular towers were classified into 3 types including risk to human, risk to animals and risk to environment. The study determined the risks organized by risk ranking. According to the result, of the study, respondents agreed that ranging from the foot of the cell tower up to sixty meters had high to extraordinary dangers to human. Low appetite was the premier risk at all told distance. Following it had been headache, weakness, problems regardint2 sound-related recognition, visual and joint, cancer, infertility and epidemiological effect. The larger a part of the respondents selected that the real danger being remarked by EMF radiation to animals was their health. Most animals were ascertained to have poor health and diminutive structure of body. Whereas for the surroundings, it incontestable that trees had the greatest damages that ends up in ecological contamination.
A radiation detection device was also utilized to determine the intensity of EMF radiation in a subject with in divided distance (by 20's) until it reached 100 meters. The lowest level was 391 W/m2 from the furthest distance and also the highest level earned was 1868 from the closest distance. Highest measure was conquered at intervals 0-20 meters, starting from values 1704- 1868 W/m2. 21-40-meter distance from the base foot of the tower showed values between 1346- 1576 1.1W/m2. Mid-distance dominated readings from 1082 to 1305 .W/m2. 61-80-meter distance exhibited values 718-961 W/m2. Lastly, 81- 100 meters had values ranging in between 391- 578 W/m2.
Using Pearson's r, results showed that there was a low correlation between gender and risk to humans while it has moderately low correlation with respect to age. Distance • from base station and years of exposure has moderately high correlation with risk to humans.
