Parents' Lawsuit in Illinois Comes to
Close

Parents' Lawsuit in Illinois Comes to
Close 07/10/2004 11:12 AM
According to messages from the plaintiffs, the Oak Park, Illinois, lawsuit over the health effects of Wi-Fi signals on children has been withdrawn: As recently as this last week, the Safe Technology for Oak Park (STOP) parents' group was planning on pushing ahead. Their suit was an effort not to win punitive damages, the group said in the past, but to force the school district to address the health concerns over microwave radiation that STOP had raised. The school district's response was consistently that with federal standards guiding safety, which the district had conformed with, there was no necessity to open the matter at the district. The school district's statement on their Web site reads, After two years of examining this issue and hearing expert testimony, the board affirmed in a resolution last spring that it would continue to use wireless technology as appropriate, would monitor all research and literature, and would respond to any changes in governed regulations and standards, of which we are in total compliance. STOP parents cited many cellular phone and cellular tower studies, but despite claims throughout the lawsuit of having hundreds of studies that were germane, neither I nor other reporters were able to obtain this list from court filings or from STOP. In an email to STOP supporters, these studies were described as "the hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies that show biological effects from wireless radiation (many at levels many times lower than that emitted by the in-class devises)." Without seeing the individual studies, I have a hard time specifically refuting the contention. However, the electromagnetic radiation studies I've read and am familiar with -- from ELF/VLF studies conducted a decade ago to more research cellular phone research -- don't show the clear results that this statement would indicate. In the studies I've read, small correlative effects in small populations of test animals or people were found in frequencies not used by Wi-Fi and at signal strengths that were at least a few orders of magnitude. There were no smoking guns, nor 100 percent correlations. One study mentioned in articles quoting STOP's leaders were specifically about cell phone effects on rats. STOP's founder, Ron Baiman -- who is well known for his academic work and activism in trying to obtain living wages for workers in the U.S. -- wrote in an email to STOP members, Dr. Leif Salford is, by the way is...
