Hello Joan, My husband is a brain cancer survivor, and his neurosurgeon is Dr. Keith Black at Cedar Sinai. I am also a brain tumor survivor. We have been keeping up on this topic as we have 3 little kids ourselves. Children have thinner skulls, and show higher levels of radiation from cell phones. Additionally, and more specific to your question, there have been reported issues from kids around cell phone towers including fatigue, irritability, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, sleeping disorders, depression, discomfort, difficulties concentrating, memory loss, visual disorders, dizziness and cardiovascular problems. The cell phone companies pay institutions to have cell phone towers on their properties, including schools. Here is a helpful link: http://www.centerforsaferwireless.org/Cell-Phone-Towers-and-Antennas-on-Scho... Here is an interview of Dr. Black (our hero) on CNN in regards to the cell phones: http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/31/who.cell.phones/index.html. I haven't been keeping a log of everything I've read, but will send you anything I come across. I'd love to hear more about what you find and help in any way!

Hello,
Is anyone researching harmful effects of wireless in public domains (esp. in close proximity to chiidren)?
