ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely concerned about the rapid expansion of wireless towers near our homes, neighborhoods, and schools. These towers are being installed everywhere, often without families having any meaningful say in how close they are placed to where we live and raise our children.
This recently became very personal for me when I learned that a new tower is going up approximately 0.3 miles from my home… my family’s safe space. I am angry and deeply upset that infrastructure transmitting RF radiation can be placed this close to homes without stronger protections for the families who live there.
I am especially concerned about children. They spend hours every day at schools and daycares and potentially have an entire lifetime of wireless exposure ahead of them. We need more independent research into long-term and RF exposure, especially in children.
There should absolutely be mandatory minimum setbacks between wireless towers and homes, schools, and daycares. I believe they should be at least one mile away or more! Every tower should also be independently tested after installation and regularly thereafter to determine how much RF is actually reaching nearby homes and schools. Those measurements should be publicly available so families know what levels are reaching the places where they spend their lives.
Technology is advancing quickly, and our research and protections need to keep up. Parents and homeowners deserve transparency, meaningful community input, independent testing, and the ability to feel safe in their own homes. Please put the health and well-being of our children and communities first.
