Wireless & 4G/5G Warnings:
  • In 2011 wireless was classed as a Group 2B “possible human carcinogen” by 30 independent scientists of the WHO International Agency for Cancer (IARC).
  • Studies since have confirmed brain, reproductive, cardiac, & glucose disruption, birth defects, etc. from wireless, with IARC scientists Hardell, Miller, Leszczynski, Samet, Portier, Belyaev, & others asking caution or new classification & for more 5G research
  • Concerned adding more & adding 5G frequencies is environmentally risky due to rising power levels & limited but still concerning 5G research, scientists have appealed for a moratorium [i] [ii]
The FCC has ruled to prevent local control of small cell tower placement & fees. Some antennas may be disguised, but will emit powerfully, risking health.
Are the profits of automation & mining our data why 5G is being pushed on us by business and the FCC?
Opposed to 5G Rules Set by FCC:
Significant Costs with Nothing Gained
  • Only 1-10 mW/m2 is needed for cellphones, but small cells measure millions and may lead to exposures near or at illegal levels
  • Many have adequate wireless access, despite industry denial; hence FCC claims refusal amounts to “presumptive” denial of service is wrong
  • Wear and tear of town- or city-owned property, but extreme limits on fees
  • Property devaluation: 79% of buyers refuse homes by cellular infrastructure[i]
  • Fee limits set by the FCC subsidize wireless at expense of copper, fiber optic, and cable competition, when wireless is the least secure and most expensive
  • Incentives do not exist to provide rural areas with better access
 4G Equipment (Antenna Missing)
 Lack of Safety Review or Monitoring
  • Preventing local safety review (fire, falling, electrical, environmental) by “batching” multiple applications as one application under a 60- or 90-day shot clock
  • Lack of monitoring by the FCC to insure any compliance with (lax) FCC guidelines & lack of monitoring or qualified inspectors, especially at 5G frequencies
  • Added risk for workers by small cells from exposures, falls & heavy equipment
  • Refusal by FCC to conduct an environmental review of small cell infrastructure or allow protections as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Aggravations & Serious Hazards
  • Wireless investment derails investment in secure fiber to home and maintenance of copper phone lines, which work best during power outages
  • Wireless is substantially more energy intensive than wired infrastructure
  • 5G includes 3.5 to 80 GHz, with untested millimeter frequencies never used for communications
  • Millimeter frequencies require higher power to work than 3G and use phased arrays that concentrate power & increase exposure
  • Small cells are an access barrier for electromagnetic disabilities, a federally recognized disability
  • Nickel-cadmium batteries used for 8-hour generators create a fire and toxic hazard.
  • Potential falling or explosion hazard from being hit by a car or falling in an earthquake
  • Potential design to prevent any damage & 300 lbs. weight may mean solidity to the point that a car hitting the equipment would be crushed and kill its occupants

Appearance & Size
  • 4G/5G antennas can be placed as close as 10-20 feet from homes & 6 cubic feet, with more added later; associated equipment may be refrigerator size & up to 28 cubic feet with potentially noisy fans
  • Equipment potentially every 100 feet in line of sight and maximum 1/3 mile apart
  • Overlapping installations from multiple providers with competing small cells
  • Addition of 5G antennas to existing cell towers
