Vancouver School Board Motion Re Cell Phone Transponders
CategoriesFinally an example of the precautionary principle we all should aspire too! If only more of us could demand this from those who push their self serving bull down our throats the world could be a better place to live...
The source at the moment escapes me, but I recall reading about the rates of entry to hospital emergency room going up by 15% when cellular antennae were introduced in the area. I must find and post this study in due course...

Whereas
There is no conclusive evidence that the installation of cellular antenna on or adjacent to schools is safe, and
Whereas
The current standard for maximum allowable exposure levels for radiating energy in Health Canada's Safety Code 6 is based on thermal effects only, and
Whereas
Results from active research in this area is not expected to be available in the immediate future to confirm a satisfactory level of student safety, and
Whereas
Part of the core purpose of VSB (Vancouver School Board) Motion is to provide a safe learning environment for our students:
Be It Resolved That:
a. no further installations of cellular antenna be permitted on any school building or school grounds regularly used by students, and
b. that VSB policy, KMGA, Incompatible Land Uses Near Schools, be amended to include any installation of cellular antenna within 305 m (1000 feet) of a school as an incompatible use and that VSB be so notified.

...""In the decade to come, it is safe to predict, bioelectromagnetics will assume a therapeutic importance equal to, or greater than, that of pharmacology and surgery today. With proper interdisciplinary effort, significant inroads can be made in controlling the ravages of cancer, some forms of heart disease, arthritis, hormonal disorders, and neurological scourges such as Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. This prediction is not pie-in-the-sky. Pilot studies... [read more]
