While six people at the public consultation on the issue were in favor of the move, 23 spoke out against it, with concern over the growing body of evidence linking cell phone radiation to cancers, with more than 500 local residents signing a petition against the erection of the tower, particularly in the currently proposed location.<\/p>\n

Rogers Communication insists the tower needs to be built due to demand, with service likely to become unreliable and possibly even non-existent unless new towers are constructed to keep up with the massively increasing usage.  However, the arguments of Rogers Communication implementation manager Ed Fontana did little to assuage community fears.<\/p>\n

SFU professor of engineering Faisal Beg says studies are increasingly indicating that cell phone radiation is particularly dangerous to children.  \u201cIt raises the temperature of tissue in the body, especially the brain,\u201d Beg told the meeting.  \u201cNow if there is a developing child whose brain is changing every second and you start heating the brain even at low levels of temperature, you could change that brain\u2019s pathway irreversibly\u2026 You could change that child\u2019s future.\u201d  Beg concluded that with other studies showing a correlation with cancer in a 100 to 300 meter radius of cell phone towers, they \u201cshould not be within 300 meters of the population, period\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
