The problem

​with wireless. 

Over 200 scientists, medical and public health professionals*, along with U. S. Congressional members** and a former FCC Commissioner*** agree: your safety, security, privacy and health are at risk from 5G.

Across the country, utility crews are busy installing new wireless antennas on telephone poles, lamp posts and rooftops in neighborhoods from Maine to Malibu.  


This deployment of the next generation of wireless - called 5G - and its dependence on a vast new network of wireless antennas located in close proximity to residential dwellings raises many serious issues which have not yet been fully addressed by the wireless industry. These include issues of safety, security, privacy and property values, as well as the health and well-being of citizens.

Consider:
  • Federal wireless radiation exposure guidelines haven’t been updated in over 22 years, and are based only on thermal, not biological effects;.
  • A study by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) found “clear evidence” of a link between long-term exposure to wireless radiation and cancer. Children are particularly vulnerable; 
  • The new antennas will be active 24/7/365, whether you use the service or not. This involuntary exposure violates our right to the free enjoyment of our property; 
  • Surveillance and hacking capabilities will be significantly enhanced by this new dense network of antennas. Antennas everywhere means you can be tracked anywhere;
  • The wireless industry has persuaded state and federal officials to make it virtually impossible for you to object to the placement of a new powerful wireless antenna, even on your own property. ​
"The wireless industry has been allowed to grow unchecked and virtually unregulated, with fundamental questions on public health impact routinely ignored.”            
-Norm Alster,  Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Harvard University


"Having worked at the National Academy of Sciences for 10 years I thought there could be no problem with wireless radiation. Because if there were, I would know about it and so would all my colleagues. Well, I was completely wrong."
