Letter: Wireless infrastructure must not be fast-tracked
Cell towers, 5G and wireless infrastructure must not be fast-tracked, as this will increase public exposure to RF radiation, an environmental exposure that decades of scientific research has associated with numerous health and environmental hazards.
U.S. limits on allowable exposures to RF radiation, unchanged since 1996, are not science-based and do not protect the public.
Although there are clear financial benefits to wireless carriers in terms of increased profitability, the Federal Communication Commission’s proposed changes will come at a serious cost to public health and the environment, as well as override state and local government authority.
