摘要: Wireless Communication has become an integral part of our daily lives especially the use mobile phones increased drastically in past decade. But this technology also raised some concerns among certain group people where are mainly regarding radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure from and base stations. It is believed that RF-EMF stations affecting human health. This paper seeks to develop a model on consumer health risk awareness stations, we have made grounded theory method (GTM) total interpretive structural modelling (TISM). GTM been used identify factors influencing consumer’s related issues towards TISM was establish relationship between these subsequently developed hierarchical improve context perceived risks associated with it. premise informed choice, aware safer absorption technology. could high social impact for all stakeholders telecommunication industry (regulator, telecom service provider consumer).
