A random survey was conducted on 403 people across the country. The aim of survey was to examine the health conditions of people using various electronic and electrical products if they face any health issues due to usage of these products. During survey it was observed that headache is the most common symptom observed by majority of people, followed by irritation in eyes, stress, pain in ears due to prolonged usage of cell phones, etc. Only 12% people are fairly aware about radiations and its ill effects on health. So awareness must be spread amongst masses. Indian government revised radiation density norms in 2013 and adopted 1/10th of the international norms specified by International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Study of Chandigarh was also conducted to check if these changes have been implemented and comparison of readings was done with the biological limits over which health of living beings starts getting influenced. It was observed that observed readings are considerably low than the international norms and limits adopted in India but are several times higher than the biological limits. More strict norms should be adopted and radiation density should be reduced without compromising with the quality of service. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
