From Theodora Scarato
What You Need to Know To Protect Your Community
Cell towers near homes and schools bring many health, safety, and liability risks. From fire to the fall zone, property value devaluation and increased RF radiation exposure, Theodora Scarato, MSW, Director of the Environmental Health Sciences Wireless and EMF Program, a policy expert, covers the key issues that communities need to understand when a cell tower is proposed in their neighborhood or near their child’s school. She details key issues documented in her recently published policy review in Frontiers in Public Health, “U.S. policy on wireless technologies and public health protection: regulatory gaps and proposed reforms.”
With the federal government proposing unprecedented rulemakings that would fast-track cell towers and dismantle existing local government safeguards, it’s more critical than ever to understand what’s at stake for local communities and families.
