Firefighters to study health effects of cell towers
The International Association of Firefighters has called for a moratorium on new cell towers on fire stations until health effects can be studied, according to a Vermont-based advocacy group, reports RCRNews. A resolution was approved last week to study whether cell towers located on or near fire stations in the United States and Canada are making firefighters sick. “Some firefighters with cell towers currently located on their stations are experiencing symptoms that put our first responders at risk", said Lt. Ron Cronin of the Brookline, Mass., Fire Department. "It is important to be sure we understand what effects these towers may have on the firefighters living in these stations. If the jakes in the fire house are suffering from headaches, can’t respond quickly and their ability to make decisions is clouded by a sort of brain fog, then entire communities they are protecting will clearly be at risk.” |
