Health and environmental impact of radiation from mobile phone devices and towers with ways to control them technically and legally in Iraq

The study aims to demonstrate the health and environmental impact of cell phone towers and device radiation, which is an electromagnetic radiation of the type of non-ionizing radio waves within the electromagnetic spectrum. In Iraq, the towers were erected randomly by luring the citizens with some privileges, for the purpose of erecting towers over their homes, which led to health and environmental damages and also led to the distortion of the features of cities. The study dealt with the effect of these radiations by conducting a number of experiments, studies and interviews with those who were affected by those radiations that caused many diseases and disorders, in addition to their impact on the environment. For the purpose of reducing the health and environmental impact of radiation emitted from cell phone towers and devices, The study touched on a set of technical and legal controls, as well as a set of recommendations, where the study clarified the technical controls in the installation of mobile phone network communication towers, the most prominent of which is that the height of the building to be constructed above its roof is in the range of 15-50 meters. In addition to legal controls, and position of the Iraqi legislator on the impact of radiation emitted from mobile phone towers and the protection of the affected citizen through several laws enacted by the Iraqi law. Also the study touched on the most important of which is the environmental impact assessment within the Iraqi Environmental Protection and Improvement Law. The study concluded with a set of recommendations and Suggestions, most notably preventing the establishment of new mobile phone networks within population centers or near public service places such as schools and universities, although moving them outside cities is better.
