Three years ago a mobile communications antenna was directly installed on a school yard in Ripon (California), although the city regulations recommend a distance of 450 meters from schools. Four students and three teachers then got cancer. Other schools in the same city had no cancer cases. In early March 2019, approximately 200 parents of the 400 students demanded the school authorities remove the mobile communications antenna. Some parents even took their children out of school. The head of the school authorities stated the radiation of the antenna would be within safe value limits. The parents didn’t let go and had an independent firm measure the radiation of the antenna tower. They found a far higher radiation level than the company which the mobile communication anntena’s owner had commissioned. According to Eric Windheim, their specialist in electro-magnetic radiation, this antenna is highly dangerous because it can also send Wi-Fi frequencies over many kilometers. On March 25th, 2019 the owner of the antenna announced that he understood the parents’ concern and was looking for a solution to quickly distance it. This case is yet another example that shows it is worth it not to let oneself be intimidated by higher authorities.
