Faith and Hope for the Methodist Church

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has said this about cell phone towers near homes or schools:

“Radiofrequency emissions from antennas used for cellular and PCS [personal communications service] transmissions result in exposure levels on the ground that are typically thousands of times below safety limits. These safety limits were adopted by the FCC based on the recommendations of expert organizations and endorsed by agencies of the Federal Government responsible for health and safety. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that such towers could constitute a potential health hazard to nearby residents or students.”

    I also would like to add this is a new application for a steeple extension that will house cellular equipment it is not a tower! Also the First Baptist Church in the center of wakefield also has cellular equipment in there steeple and has a preschool on the property .The zoning board has to act within the scope of the law. Not make decisions based on nonfactual information hearsay, rhetoric or studies in countries that don’t have any regulations on cellular equipment. If people are not happy with the current law and want to change it that will have to be done at a state level. But for now we abide by the current FCC rules.
