The body of literature which describes risks to human health relative to RF exposures was recently summarized by an international team of scientists and researchers. The Bioinitiative Report, published September 18, 2007, reflects the well-informed concerns of a number of scientists and researchers from around the world. Even the most skeptical agree that more study is needed. This leaves local decision makers in a difficult position. We believe decision makers should apply the precautionary principle in selecting sites until federal regulations relative to RF are brought in line with scientific evidence. We believe our decision makers MUST err on the side of caution.
Federal regulations regarding public exposure haven't been updated since 1996 and don't take into consideration scientific evidence of risk that has emerged in the past decade.
Recent epidemiological studies have repeatedly found correlations between living near AM radio towers and incidence of leukemia.
Because federal regulations are not yet aligned with scientific evidence, we must rely on local jurisdictions to manage the risk by exercising the "precautionary principle" which states that
"if an action or policy might cause severe or irreversible harm to the public, in the absence of a scientific consensus that harm would not ensue, the burden of proof falls on those who would advocate taking the action."
