Microwave Antennas 275 feet from Bethlehem Middle School!
Now the Bethlehem Planning Board is about to allow more near Eagle Elementary and the High School, putting thousands of our Town's children in harms way and ignoring the opposition of town residents!

This is a photograph of the microwave antennas located directly adjacent to the Bethlehem Middle School on Kenwood Avenue. While the almost 2 dozen antennas are on the Town of Bethlehem owned water tank, they are less than 275 feet from the 1,400 student school and pose a direct danger to their health. Long term exposure to microwave radiation has been linked to brain tumors, cancers, childhood leukemia, alzheimer's, and other serious heath problems. Researchers disagree on the dangers of microwave towers.
However, it is very clear that cell industry funded researchers are saying cell towers are safe. On the other hand, independent research on cell tower radiation affects tell us that there are serious health problems caused by such devices.
Young children and their rapidly developing brains and bodies should not be exposed to such radiation on a daily basis. It is better to err on the side of caution and spare our children from the chronic adult diseases caused by exposure to microwave radiation that is happening while they are in school.
For teachers and administrators in schools near cell towers, the dangers are just as serious and even more dangerous as these educators have longer exposure to microwave radiation based on their longer work week (read more).
If you are concerned about the dangers to the health of our children, our teachers and administrators, please consider signing the online petition to school and local government leaders. The petition requests for them to stop the plans for cell towers on and near school property.
In October of 2009, a coalition of concerned parents and property owners in Bethlehem were able to beat back a proposal by the school board to build cell towers on two of our elementary schools (Hamagrael and Clarksville). A protest and major news coverage, including emails and letter writing convinced the school board to take those schools of the list of places to build microwave towers.
With your help, we can stop the cell tower planned near both the Eagle Elementary School and the Bethlehem High School. Our work to have the microwave antennas near the middle school removed is ongoing. We encourage you to share the information on this web site with neighbors, friends and your family.
Thank you for your involvement. We look forward to your support.
