The World Health Organization classifies cell-phone radiation as a “possible” carcinogen. Wireless radiation has been shown to damage the blood-brain barrier, a vital defense mechanism that shields the brain from carcinogenic chemicals elsewhere in the body (resulting, for example, from secondhand cigarette smoke). Wireless radiation has also been shown to interfere with DNA replication, a proven progenitor of cancer. The risks are higher for children. Their skulls, being smaller, absorb more radiation, while children’s longer life span increases their cumulative exposure. Children are more vulnerable to the negative effects of cell-phone radiation exposure. Cell towers need to be placed where they will do the least amount of harm. They should not be sited near schools, homes, or hospitals. Surely Verizon can find a more appropriate site that doesn't endanger the health of children.
