  • Addressing Cell Towers at Schools as Primary Prevention: The Need for Science-Based Policy to Mitigate Health and Safety Risks

    Addressing Cell Towers at Schools as Primary Prevention: The Need for Science-Based Policy to Mitigate Health and Safety Risks

    This American Public Health Association presentation examines scientific evidence on cell tower radiation health effects in children and schools. Addressing wireless radiation exposure, outdated FCC limits, and environmental health inequities, it urges science-based policies to reduce radiofrequency (RFR) exposure, mitigate cell tower health risks, and protect children’s safety in school environments nationwide.

  • Health Effects of Cell Towers: Science and Expert Recommendations

    Health Effects of Cell Towers: Science and Expert Recommendations

    Science is mounting on the health risk of cell towers near homes and schools. As wireless network infrastructure expands, cell towers are increasingly sited near homes, schools, and playgrounds—often over strong community objection. Cell towers drop property values, create fire risks, and emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Children absorb higher rates of cell tower radiation and…
