ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES



Environmental issues have been rising up throughout
the world during last several years.
Climate change is already with us. Scientific evidence
shows that past emissions of greenhouse gases
(GHG) are already affecting the Earth’s climate. If
current trends and policies continue, the result will be
a rapidly warming world.
Most of the observed warming in the past 50 years
has been caused by human activities, particularly
producing and consuming fossil fuels, increasing
agriculture and changing land use.

WORLD IS SERIOUS ON
ENVIRONMENTAL & HAZARDOUS
ISSUES



Kyoto Protocol (2005):It caps the quotas on maximum amount
of greenhouse gases for developed & developing Nations.
Countries made commitments to individual, legally binding
targets to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by
2008-2012.
UN Convention: Stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations
in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous
anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
Rotterdam Convention: Under this expert body recommends
whether a hazardous product should be placed on special list
which requires countries to obtain prior consent before they can
export product.

All countries have taken precautions for Air, Water, Sound
Pollution.

Basel Convention for E waste and Hazardous Waste
Management Amendment Rules 2003 List A & B Schedule 3
Concern - Health & Environment


E Waste….becoming more and more
Radiation… can’t touch it, feel it, smell it, taste it.

Use of Bio gradable materials
Hazardous growth of telecom towers in unsafe way

Problems :





Do we wait for evidence or lack of it to act
Do we wait for Policy and regulations
Mindset & resistance to amend and changes, alternatives
Solution :


Awareness and willingness to Act immediately

management
E WASTE



Electronic Waste “E-waste” or “Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (“WEEE”) is a waste consisting
of any broken or unwanted electrical or electronic
appliance or E-waste comprises of waste electronic
goods which are not fit for their originally intended
use.
E-Waste contains Toxic Substances and chemicals,
which have adverse effect on environment and
health, if not handled properly, e-waste is hazardous
as it contains hazardous constituents.
E waste is source of carcinogenic ( cancer causing)
substances and release most harmful elements in
atmosphere.
WORLD IS CONCERNED FOR E-WASTE




Covered under Hazardous Waste Management
Amendment Rules 2003 List A & B Schedule 3
Covered under Basel Convention Annexure VII
The restriction of hazardous substances--known
simply as RoHS--bans six substances, including lead
and mercury, from consumer electronics.
Eco-Design Requirements for Energy Using Products
directive (EuP) requires that the physical inputs and
outputs of certain products throughout their entire
life cycle be measured and minimized; and this
includes materials, packaging, distribution, emissions
and waste.
World concern….contd.



The European Union's WEEE (Waste Electronics and
Electrical Equipment) directive stipulates that
discarded electronic items must be kept separate
from regular trash, and that the makers must take
them back for recycling and proper disposal, or pay
others to do this.
Countries like Switzerland, Norway, Japan, Belgium,
South Korea, Taiwan etc. have legislation and fees
levied on consumers and producers for tackling e
waste.
Companies that do not comply with the directives
face exclusion from European markets.
Global Electromagnetic Radiation
(EMR)




For millions of years, life evolved on earth where the natural
frequency/radiation background level has been very low.
The Earth's natural geomagnetic resonating frequency is normally
7.8Hz. Then starting only 100 years ago, a literal explosion of EM
frequencies in the form of television, radio and microwave radiation
has increased our everyday exposure level by at least 10,000
times.
Clearly, global EMR is a major human health threat. Immediate
efforts needed now to limit, manage and control exposure to
all levels of harmful EMFs and frequencies in our environment.
The threat is invisible, insidious and increasing exponentially in
scale and in magnitude as the Mankind enters the 21st century.
Global Electromagnetic Field (EMF)




EMF is everywhere. It is generated by cosmic, solar, every electrical device and
man made sources. EMF not composed of atoms but can be measured. They
are forms of energy, not matter, having their own properties.
EMFs can be a health risk and steps ought to be taken to avoid exposure.
Researchers have found scientific evidence EMF radiation damages cells and
other affects on health.
“I have no doubt in my mind that, at the present time, the greatest polluting
element in the earth's environment... more serious even than global climate
change and chemical pollution... is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields”
Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D.
Still another view is No evidence of established health effects at levels below the
existing standards
(MMF)
Some seriousness attached to Radiations







In Airplanes, passengers advised to keep mobile phones in
switch off mode to avoid interference with the sensitive
operating machinery of the aircraft.
At ISRO, small rockets took off due to radiations’ interference
with the operations of the rocket launching system.
People with Pacemakers advised not to carry mobile phones as
the radiations emitted from mobile can interfere with the
functioning of pacemaker. Mobile Phones not permitted in ICUs.
Recorded cases of Birth disorders and untimely abortions due to
excessive exposure of pregnant ladies to microwaves.
Butterflies, Sparrows, pigeons, vultures, parrots etc increasingly
vanishing from skies due to onslaught of, power transmissions,
mobile telephony and satellite communications.
Sweden Govt. giving radiation affected disability allowance.
State Governments of India banning towers in Residential areas.
Some Researches




Recent research project by Spanish Scientists discovered that
wireless radiation penetrates deeply into the skulls of users and
that a single 2 minute usage disrupted normal brain waves for
up to one full hour afterwards.
Several medical research studies have concluded that the
microwave frequencies entering into the heads of wireless users
are enough to cause neurological damage.
Research by University of Washington professor Dr. Henry Lai
shows brain cells are clearly damaged by microwave and that
even tiny doses of radio frequency can cumulate over time and
lead to harmful effects.
Governments across the world like US and UK are taking
precautionary approach and adopting safety guidelines IEEE,
ICNIRP etc.
World Standards coming up






EU Radio & Telecom Terminal Equipment Directive (R&TTE Directive
5/1999/EC) managed by DG Consumer Protection and Health,
Generally accepted as the reference for exposure values
ICNIRP, IEEE recommendations & guidelines
US National Academy of Sciences (2008): a great deal of research has
been carried out to investigate possible biological or human health
effects resulting from the use of these devices
WHO Fact Sheets: FS 183: Effects of Radiofrequency Fields, FS 184:
Public Perception of EMF Risk, FS 296: Electromagnetic Hyper
sensitivity, FS 304: Base Stations & Wireless Technologies
ITU-T K.52 “Guidance on complying with limits for human exposure to
electromagnetic fields” states/recommends: In many cases, local or
national regulatory agencies or standards bodies promulgate the EMF
safety limits. If such limits do not exist, or if they do not cover the
frequencies of interest, then ICNIRP limits should be used.
SAR value prescribed by Australia, Malayasia, Thailand, Singapore &
Philippines, China, USA, UK etc. 2W/kg averaged over 10g

Japanese Global Share



Japan’s global market share and exports share
declined in almost all ICT-related products between
1997 and 2005.
Regardless of the decrease of the weight of the
Japanese market in the global market, the ICT
vendors of Japan tend to be domestic marketoriented compared to those of the US and Europe.
There is reported shortage of domestic software
engineers. One of the major purposes of off shoring
is offset the shortage.

Communications (FMMC), Japan
Japanese ICT Vendors



ICT vendors of Japan tend to develop their business in a wider
product range than those of the US and Europe. This makes it
possible to spread business risk and build up a wide variety of
technologies
Japanese ICT vendors are competitive in product areas where
material technologies, optical/electronic device technologies,
equipment technologies, and technologies for metal dies are
important.
As the demand for high-end products is expected to increase,
Japan, as the most advanced country in terms of broadband
infrastructure, will become a test bed for products with the
highest technology, which will create important opportunities for
Japanese ICT vendors.

Arun Sarin, Vodafone says….
I am getting a taste of how they do business in India.
My team studying secret of low cost business model
In UK average call costs 15 cents and in India only 2
cents. Margin remains 40%. Low cost labour is hardly
one third. The other two third is just how they do
business.
India has innovative approach to delivery, services
and distribution systems.
India more open in telecom. In China they own just
3% & balance Govt., but in India up to 74% and
balance with private parties.
