UPDATE Citing recent activity by parents in Ripon, CA who got a tower removed from school property due to cancer concerns, parents at the Montessori del Mundo charter school in Aurora, CO are requesting radiation tests from T-Mobile, according to the Aurora Sentinel. Like their California counterparts, they’re concerned that cell phone antennas on the school’s roof could cause cancer or pose other health risks to their children and other students despite reassurances of safety.
Alondra Flores, whose son is a kindergartner said, “I don’t know if that is going to mess with brain cells. I didn’t know enough about it to know if there even is a risk.”
Another parent said he would pull his two young children from the school if the antennas stay, reported the Sentinel.
A T-Mobile spokesperson said that T-Mobile is well within radiation regulations imposed by the FCC and medical experts. T-Mobile has not activated the antennas, and a school official said she does not know when they would activate the site. Comments? Email Us
