Why Is This Giant Cell Phone Tower Smack Dab in the Middle of an Elementary School Playground?!

[midnight]

16. Because there has been little to know study on children and their brain function one would think at

the very least the dept. of education and the community would error on the side of precaution, and not place this tower in the middle of a playground.

Below I posted a few paragraphs from your link:


"Studies in people

Very few human studies have focused specifically on cellular phone towers and cancer risk.

In one large study, British researchers compared a group of more than 1,000 families of young children with cancer against a similar group of families of children without cancer. They found no link between a mother’s exposure to the towers during pregnancy (based on the distance from the home to the nearest tower and on the amount of energy given off by nearby towers) and the risk of early childhood cancer.

In another study, researchers compared a group of more than 2,600 children with cancer to a group of similar children without cancer. They found that those who lived in a town that could have exposed them to higher than average RF radiation from cellular phone towers in the previous 5 years had a slightly higher risk of cancer, although not of any certain type of cancer (like leukemia or brain tumors). This study estimated the children’s possible exposure based on the number of towers in their town and how strong the signals were from the towers. It did not look at actual exposure of any individual child based on how far their home or school was from a tower. This limitation reduces confidence in the results of the study."

This link identifies the results of the study are so limited as to not provide the confidence that dismisses this location as harmless or not very harmless. So, at the very least lets keep these out of our children's play grounds.
