### Step-by-Step Solution: **(1) Health Hazards of Setting Up a Transmission Tower:** The setting up of a transmission tower by a mobile company in a residential colony can be injurious to health due to the following reasons: - **Electromagnetic Radiation:** The tower emits electromagnetic waves, particularly microwaves, which can be harmful to human health. Prolonged exposure to these waves has been linked to various health issues, including: - Increased risk of tumors and cancers. - Potential neurological effects, such as headaches and sleep disturbances. - **High Power Operation:** The transmitting antennas operate at very high power levels, which increases the risk of exposure to harmful radiation. This can lead to severe health hazards, including burns or other injuries. ...
