Temporary fencing was installed in 2010 due to trenching work for a new information technology room at at the Malibu Middle and High School Campus. Soil containing elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was also removed in 2010, but some teachers believe the recent diagnoses of three colleagues with thyroid cancer may be related to contaminants at the campus. 

Ask Virginia Farver about school buildings and cancer. Her 29-year old son Rich died of brain cancer within a two year exposure to RF microwave radiation coming from a cell tower cluster on the campus of San Diego State University. Rich was one of seven deaths that fell within this two year period. What do all these dead people have in common? They all spent considerable time in Room 131. 

So what’s going on over at Malibu High School? Is there WiFi in the buildings? Or cell towers? What are the microwave radiation levels in these classrooms? Has the administration or school board measured the radiation levels? 

The effects of prolonged exposure to the electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices such as WiFi, wireless computers, wireless projectors, wireless microphone equipment, and cell phones can adversely effect health. (Also, CFL light bulbs emit EMF fields that can further impair health.) 

Wireless devices use low level radiofrequency (RF) microwaves. Over a period of time depending on exposure proximity, strength and personal genetics, a person will develop symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, forgetfulness, anxiety, mood swings, depression, skin rashes, vision changes, ringing in the ears, nose bleeds, tingling sensation in arms/ legs, intestinal disorders, heart palpitations, etc. as well as cancer. 

Yes, the research is there. And it has been there, completed, since the 1970s. The FCC regulates the levels of RF exposure as well as the FDA regulates GMOs in our food. Our federal government and US military know of the dangers of continuous prolonged exposure to low levels of microwave radiation. 

The World Health Organization lists RF microwave radiation as a Class 2B possible carcinogen. This is the same category as lead and diesel fuel. Have we removed lead from paint and children’s playing areas? Should we take the precautionary approach with RF microwave radiation for our children’s safety?
