Only in America can you voice your opinion and say how you really feel about a situation that needs to be studied and looked into. I'm talking about electromagnetic waves and the effect they have on our bodies, especially children and pets.

Our children and pets are closer to the ground and will receive much stronger exposure. This can upset the magnetic balance of their bodies, disordering the energy systems including brain functions. This can also include their biological systems, causing rashes, lethargy, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, irritability and illness, such as cancer and brain damage.

There are reports and research on this. Swedish researchers issued a report on Sept. 20, 1992.

In this news release, scientists said they discovered that children exposed to even relatively weak magnetic fields from power lines and cellphone towers developed leukemia at almost four times the expected rate. The study was made looking at 500,000 children and adults who lived near cellphone towers and power lines.

A person can also receive more reports from the World Health Organization offices. There is a book you can read called "Electromagnetic Fields" by B. Blake Levitt.

This is a very serious situation and should be researched before building a cellphone tower in a residential neighborhood where children, adults and our pets live.
