Anti-Antennae Activism

Leonore continues to advocate against antenna sitings, especially microcells, which are not covered in legislation that regulates the installation of antenna sitings around the states, and I assume Canada as well. In order to install one of these antennas in a residential area, there is no legislation that requires the company, such as T-mobile or Cingular, to inform the residents of the building that the cell phone microcell is being installed on their building, yet there is a chance that these antennas will bring a lovely little present to residents of these buildings, such as cancer or leukemia.

This begs the question brought up in the title of this article; Does the Wi-fi revolution directly endanger our health? To further that, is the laptop I am using now going to increase my risk of ovarian cancer? What is involved in this radiation?

Cell phone use may contribute to brain cancer. Why then, are these carcinogens allowed to pervade our daily lives, everything from cell phone antennas on apartment buildings, to the phones themselves, to other devices that use Wi-fi such as laptops(?)

Alright, there is a long and complicated process to follow to try to get an antenna off your roof, or prevent one from being installed there, but if there are any petitions going around in your neighbourhood to ban the installation of these devices, then by all means, sign it! I do not know what the procedure would be for eliminating these antennae in Canada, but if you are interested in pursuing the project, check out this link.
