Across the country, there are 34 TERM cells, including one in Mumbai.

“TERM cells are authorised to monitor radiation levels. They conduct random checks to ensure that radiations are within permissible limits,” said Deora. HT had on Friday reported that of the 3,705 mobile phone towers across the city that can jeopardise your health and life, 1,830 — that’s roughly half of them — are illegal, as per a survey conducted by the civic body.
