Cell Tower Health Hazard Alert – February 2011

Update
Cell tower installation planned by T-Mobile at Sligo Middle School, Silver
Spring, MD The tower will be 130 feet tall and will be approximately 320 feet
from the school. Estimates of the RF radiation levels from cell towers are 100
times lower than the FCC standards. This means the estimated RFR level would
be 10 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2). This is the maximum
allowable RFR exposure level in Russia, China, Switzerland, Italy and
Monaco. This level does not take into account additional transmitters, which will
further increase the RFR levels. In addition the reflective and amplifying nature
of RFR in the environment may lead to localized RFR hot spots that exceed
the estimated levels.

CHECK OUT - www.BioInitiative.Org (published August 2007) for peer-reviewed,
published studies on the non-thermal bio-effects of wireless emissions.
“Studies link cell tower radiation to learning difficulties, leukemia, eye tumors,
diabetes, brain tumors, fatigue, headache, damage to blood-brain barrier, DNA strand
breaks, chromosome aberrations, sleep disorders, early-onset Alzheimer’s disease,
autism, and cancer at EMF/RFR levels hundreds or even thousands of times below limits
currently established by the FCC. The lowest limits are in Salzburg Austria at the BioInitiative
recommended exposure level of 0.1 µmW/cm2. In the U.S. it is 1000 µW/cm2.

Concerns about Cell Tower Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR)


“Radio frequencies emitted from mobile telephone towers will have deleterious medical
effects to people within the near vicinity according to a large body of scientific
literature. Babies and children will be particularly sensitive to the mutagenic and
carcinogenic effects of the radio frequency radiation. It is therefore criminal to
place one of these aerials on or near a school.”
Helen Caldicott, MD, pediatrician and co-founder of Physicians for Social
Responsibility
"The FCCs current exposure guidelines…are thermally based, and do not apply to chronic,
non-thermal exposure situations…. Therefore, the generalization that the guidelines
protect human beings from harm by any or all mechanisms is not justified.”
Norbert Hankin, Radiation Protection Division, EPA
People Against Cell Towers at Schools. Individually we are the people that are
constantly at the school volunteering, we are the PTA board members, the class room
mom, the citizen picking up trash on the side of the road. Collectively we are a group of
people that, for a number of reasons, do not think Cell towers should be placed on or near
school playgrounds.

The European Union voted to recommend precautions be taken to protect human health
with regard to wireless technologies, such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi/Wi-Max, Bluetooth,
DECT portable phones and cell towers. That certain establishments be kept free of wireless

The National Research Council (NRC), an arm of the National Academy of Science issued a
report saying that we don't know enough about the potential health risks of long-term
exposure to RF energy from cell phones, cell towers, television towers, and other
components of our communications system. The scientists emphasized the unknown risks
to the health of children, pregnant women, and fetuses as well as of workers whose jobs
entail high exposure to RF (radiofrequency)

… recent studies of whole body plane wave exposure of both adult and children phantoms
demonstrated that when children and small persons are exposed to levels which are in
compliance with reference levels, exceeding the basic restrictions cannot be excluded
[Dimbylow and Bloch 2007; Wang et al. 2006; Kuhn et al., 2007; Hadjem et al., 2007]…For
a model of a 5-year-old child it has been shown that when the phantom is exposed to
electromagnetic fields at reference levels, the basic restrictions were exceeded by 40%
