The public is not protected by the <br />> current FCC safety guidelines governing radiofrequency radiation <br />> emissions according to a large number of scientists world-wide <br />> who conduct research in the field of bioelectromagnetics. More <br />> and more, cell antennas are being installed in residential areas <br />> and people complain of sleep problems, poor concentration and <br />> memory loss that is known to be caused by this kind of 24/7 <br />> exposure. If an independant expert audit of 5,000 cell towers had <br />> not been conducted, we would never known what levels of Rf <br />> radiation we are exposed to from these towers. There has got to <br />> be a better way... Elizabeth Kelley, MA <br />> Electromagnetic Safety Alliance, Inc. Tucson, AZ <br />> Comments by Joel Moskowitz, PhD: When I first learned about <br />> this story six weeks ago, I hoped the reporters would explore the <br />> nonthermal risks to the general risk from cell phone tower <br />> radiation instead of just focusing on the thermal risk to <br />> workers. As the article mentions, one in ten cell phone towers <br />> was found to emit more microwave radiation than the Federal <br />> regulations allow in terms of occupational exposure. Moreover, <br />> the occupational limit is 5 times more permissive than the <br />> Federal limit that the FCC adopted for the general public so <br />> members of the public may be exposed to illegal levels of cell <br />> phone radiation even though they are much farther away from the <br />
