"(The aluminum shielding will be placed within) all exterior walls and the roof and ceiling." Metzinger said for windows, a special film will be added that is also designed to reflect radio frequency radiation. While Metzinger said he is confident the project will be successful, he admits some apprehension, given the intricacies of keeping the radiation out of an entire two-storey, five-bedroom home. "Shielding computer rooms and things like that has been done successfully, but that is when you can seal everything off and you know for sure there are no openings," said Metzinger. "It's hard to know what is going to happen "I don't know if you have children, but when it comes to your children, you don't want them to be guinea pigs, you don't want to take a chance. I want to keep my family protected and I'm going to do that any way I can." Lisa Guglietti, Oakville resident around the windows. I am pretty confident we are going to get significant amount of protection/reduction from this and if not then I have to go in and do further measuring, see where the leaks are, try and repair those or offer some other kind of solution." University of Toronto Physics Professor David Bailey said the principle Metzinger is discussing is sound, stating that if you completely wrap your house (including the windows) in aluminum, you are turning your house into a Faraday cage, which will shield high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. "To check this out, just wrap your cell phone in aluminum foil and try to call it and see if it rings," said Bailey in an e-mail. "The resident would need to hire an engineer to properly design a house system, since all the aluminum would need to be properly connected and some electromagnetic radiation will come through the windows." At the end of day, Metzinger said he wants to see a reduction in radio frequency radiation within the house of at least 90 per cent. Adding the aluminum shielding to Guglietti's home's construction has not been cheap with Guglietti stating that so far the venture has cost around $20,000. When asked why Guglietti would spend so much on something that may not keep the radiation out of her home, she said going with an option that offered some hope was better than doing nothing. In addition to herself and her husband, Guglietti said their three young children will be living in the house when it is complete.

Email:scott@gasfix.ca She said her 11-year-old son's future bedroom is only 13 metres away from the Bell antennas. "I don't know if you have children, but when it comes to your children you don't want them to be guinea pigs, you don't want to take a chance. I want to keep my family protected and I'm going to do that any way I can," she said. "It's unfortunate we are being put in this position. It's unfortunate we are being forced to live so close to this. It's not right." Guglietti said she doesn't know what will happen if the aluminum shielding doesn't work as she doubts there is much of a real estate market for homes next to cell towers. She said the situation is not ideal as there is currently nothing in place to shield the family from the radiation when they are outside the house, although Metzinger has brought up the subject of incorporating the shielding into some kind of fencing. Guglietti said she is calling on Industry Canada, the federal organization, which approves cell tower installations, to stop locating cell towers near homes and schools until more research is completed and it is proven these towers do not cause health problems. She said she is also calling on Bell Canada to reimburse her family for the money they have spent to block the signals from the Bell antennas. * $ GET up to FREE OP OS Like STERE in 1,00T0 IONS ANNIVERSARY SALE · FREE Delivery & Set-up · FREE Starter Kit · FREE Deluxe Covers · FREE Clearray System · FREE Coloured Lighting SUNDANCE SPAS PLUS UP TO* $1,000 VISA CARD WITH EACH SPA SOLD 680 HARTFORD 6 Person Spa, 2-Pumps and 42 Jets with Deluxe Cover.
