Schools, Children and Families

CST supports the use of technology in schools as a necessary educational tool. Hardwired technology solutions are safe.  Wireless technology is not safe.  Children's health, not cost and convenience, needs to be paramount.

Trustingly, parents give their children cell phones for "safety" reasons.  In support of the wireless industry, school districts, community centres and other public venues are now promoting the continued rollout of wireless internet systems.  Few people are yet aware that no testing has ever been conducted on the non-thermal biological effects to young people of non-ionizing radiation.  Neither has there been pre-market testing for everyday devices such as cell phones, DECT or cordless phones, or baby monitors used by or near children.

Children and youth are the most vulnerable to health damage from environmental toxins and pollutants. The pathologies associated with non-thermal biological effects are contradictory to a good learning and living environment, presenting themselves as behavioural changes, a lack of concentration, fatigue, headaches and dizziness, depression, sleep disorders, asthmatic symptoms . . . 

At this point in our history, children are and will be exposed to, and tempted by, an unprecedented array of wireless devices, tools and toys.   Adults have a moral and legal responsibility to protect their children, thereby ensuring their safe and healthy future.
