Students: Raise this issue with your school and ask for sleeping and studying areas free of wireless radiation. Students can practice SAFE TECH and keep cell phones out of their bras and pockets.
Parents: Talk to the school administrators about this issue and request they take action to reduce campus exposures. Write letters asking that they prioritize the health of your child.
