Challenge to FCC's Radiofrequency Radiation Safety Policy
August
17, 2004 - Here's the link where you'll find the
IAFF (International Association of Fire Fighters) resolution
calling for the study of fire fighters exposed to radio frequency
radiation from cell towers/mast which was passed in Boston
on August 17, 2004 by about 75% of those voting. It is Resolution
#15. It is found on pages 21-23.
The key
rationale for supporting this study as stated in the Resolution:
" WHEREAS,
many firefighters who are living with cell towers on or adjacent
to their
stations are paying a substantial price in terms of physical
and mental health. As
first responders and protectors of the general public, it
is crucial that firefighters are
functioning at optimal cognitive and physical capacity at
all times."
