Radiation

About 1,200 students in Kadima-Tzoran skipped school as parents protested solar panel installations over radiation concerns and waterproofing odors.

Hundreds of parents are protesting against the installation of solar systems on the roofs of educational institutions and are demanding to stop the work until safety measures and radiation tests are implemented. According to them, the response they received from the council is insufficient: "We are not against green energy - we are for our children."

A new study by Harvard researchers, which examined nearly 13 million death certificates and over 500 professions, found that pilots and flight attendants stood out in mortality rates from radiation-related cancers. The researchers emphasize: no causal link has been proven.
