ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely concerned about emf damage to people’s health, the environment and even to city infrastructure.
The main response I’ve heard from the Telecom companies is, that no matter what the evidence, they are simply complying with FCC guidelines, end of story. So, we're not allowed to mention health concerns, because TeleCom devices and equipment comply within safety guidelines set way back in 1996, 30 years ago? With advances in technology occurring at lightening speed? There is ample evidence today, why the health issue must be addressed by everyone and why we all must care.
By the FCC's own admittance, its regulations are long outdated.
Way back in 2013, in light of evidence backed by substantial science on health risks, the FCC was questioning itself regarding the accuracy of their own limits with regard to the potential health hazard of electromagnetic fields. I refer to the Document from the Federal Register dated 06/04/2013, Docket Name Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields. This suggests that the FCC was having to review the issue years ago, though nothing changed while the emts have proliferated and amplified.
With regard to the health risks of emf radiation, I cite just one report of many, The BioInitiative Report, of 2012, by 29 independent scientists, stating that biological effects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation from just minutes of exposure to mobile phone masts (cell towers), WI-FI... and on. http://www.bioinitiative.org/conclusions
As for its effects on infrastructure, I cite a letter from Chief Science Officer Curtis Bennett, Journeyman Electrician Engineering Technologist, to the Energy Minister of British Columbia, March 7, 2012. Bennett states " Blanketing areas with frequencies for ease of communication has serious ramifications on buildings and infrastructure that requires immediate attention. Frequencies blasting across the atmosphere to communicate with smart devices will interact with all infrastructure… Buildings subjected to frequencies have to be designed for it." Bennett goes on to elaborate about liabilities. The entirety of his letter is disturbing.
Technology has moved at lightening speed and science, with longer term studies now exposing data… the alarm is sounding.
