The following picture is from Pride Elementary. This sign is to be posted on the side of the tower fence. The sign seems to be taken down and put back up frequently. Suspicion is that it is taken down when there are functions at the school which parents will attend, and then put back up to try to stay in compliance.

Why so close?
February 12, 2011 By
The following picture is from Pride Elementary. This picture shows how close this enormous tower is to the classrooms, cafeteria and playground. The tower could not be put further away from the school due to SWFTMD regulations that said the wetlands are protected against any debris that might occur during construction.
Open Gate
February 12, 2011 By
The following picture is from Pride Elementary. The gate to the cell phone tower was left carelessly open. This tower is literally 20 feet from the playground where 900 elementary school children play every day. This re-enforces the fact that nobody is monitoring the safety of this tower.

Testimony before US Congress Sept 2008
February 11, 2011 By
“The current (RF) exposure standards in the US and around the world are based on the assumption that radiofrequency fields are without serious biological effects at intensities that are not adequate to cause tissue heating, The observations listed above (in his testimony) demonstrate that this assumption is simply wrong.”
“Current US standards for uncontrolled public exposure to radiofrequency radiation are about 1,000 times higher than the levels which appear to increase the risk of cancer on prolonged exposure. lt is not clear that exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields is safe
at any level.”
– Dr. David Carpenter
“It is worth noting that in the case of tobacco and lung cancer, debates over whether there was a true increase in lung cancer associated with smoking raged far longer
than they should have, fomented by an active disinformation campaign of which this Congress is well aware. The dilemma of public policy when it comes to controlling and identifying the causes of cancer is profound.
If we insist we must be certain of human harm and wait for definitive evidence of such damage, we are effectively saying that we can only act to prevent future cancers, once past ones have become evident. Recalling the 70 years that it took to remove lead from paint and gasoline and the 50 years that it took to convincingly establish the link between smoking and lung cancer, I argue that we must learn from our past to do a better job of interpreting evidence of potential risk. In failing to act quickly, we subject ourselves, our children and our grandchildren to the possibility of grave harm and to living with the knowledge that with more rapid action that harm could have been averted.”
– Dr. Ronald Herberman, Director University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute
