They actually agreed to move the tower away from the playground and I honestly still feel like I might be dreaming because waiting for this email felt like an eternity. Thank you for never letting me feel like I was just shouting into the void about those safety concerns because …

T-Mobile: Remove Cell Tower Adjacent to Lakeside Elementary School Playground!
Final supporters
We are petitioning T-Mobile for the removal and relocation of its cell tower adjacent to the Lakeside Elementary School playground on Dorothy Court in Merrick, NY
Since the installation of the T-Mobile cell tower, at least eight individuals residing in the immediate area have developed aggressive cancers.
While T-Mobile claims that all of its wireless equipment meets Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allowable wireless radiation emissions limits, the limits are not regularly enforced by independent radiofrequency radiation experts, so only T-Mobile operators know if the tower is FCC compliant – a troublesome “fox guarding the hen house” scenario. Even if the tower does happen to be operating within the FCC’s limits, the limits do not adequately address children’s unique biological vulnerabilities, nor do they consider normal use patterns of wireless devices today. Thus, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, they are insufficient for protecting public health.
Recent publications and independent, peer-reviewed scientific data further supports the removal of the Lakeside Elementary cell tower. In its 2013 Monograph Report, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reported that children absorb up to ten times more wireless radiation in the bone marrow of the skull compared to adults due to their thinner skulls and higher brain conductivity. A relatively new Yale University study found that the offspring of exposed lab animals to wireless radiation had abnormal brain development and exhibited textbook-definition symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), worrisome information for teachers and staff who work at Lakeside and may be pregnant or may become pregnant. In 2018, the U.S. National Toxicology Program completed a $30 million-dollar study that concluded “clear evidence” of cancer associated with exposure to wireless radiation.
Cell towers - a major liability risk - do not belong near our schools, playgrounds, or in residential areas. Please do the right thing for our children and our community – remove the tower within seven days of receipt of this petition and relocate it within a commercial or industrial zone.

Wireless towers as a technology needs to be questioned with honest independent studies; FCC is defaulted to protect business while the business gives good kick back. It is there same case with Monsanto's glyphosate and FDA covering each other with inhumane negligence.
Without Prejudice Lawsuits, including Class Action ones, are being drafted and will be filed to hold corporations such a T-Mobile accountable, including financial reparation, for their actions in an industry with no independent oversight and no consent to install such infrastructure! This is your only and final notice.
Stand up, do right! Listen to those who live work and go to school there and stop protecting bullying corporate interests
The Ramazzini Study showed that cell tower radiation, which is much lower than that from cell phones, confirmed the NTP findings, increases in glioblastomas and schwannomas of the heart. This study should be referenced in this petition.
This needs to be removed!!!! I have am about to cancel my families T-Mobile service because of this! Take this down! Keep it out of our neighborhoods and places where are children play!!!
I don’t think targeting working class individuals and harming others and saying “we didn’t have enough evidence “ and gas lighting people into believing this is safe, and not enough studies, is enough to justify our government harmful acts against humanity.
The 4G and 5G towers are really harmful for humans and mostly for children

This needs to be removed for the health of our children playing and living directly under it.
