5G is NOT Safe: 11,000 Pages of Evidence Filed in Landmark 5G Case Against the FCC, Hearing Set for January 25, 2021 (read the press release and download the documents here)
Cell towers are harmful to humans, animals and plants.
The cell tower companies and contractors will tell you that cell towers are safe. Not true.
They have known about the dangers of EMF/RF radiation for decades. Don't let the cell tower companies fool you.
Federal regulations protect the public only from the thermal (i.e., heating) risk due to short-term exposure to high intensity, cell tower radiation. The Federal regulations ignore the thousands of studies that find harmful bio-effects from long-term exposure to non-thermal levels of radiation.

From Radiation Health Risks:
5G will use dramatically higher frequency radiation. The 1G through 4G technologies used less than 6 GHz frequencies. 5G will use 24 GHz to 90 GHz and up to 300 GHz frequency RF Radiation.
Cell towers around a town could do more damage to the inhabitants of the town if the density of the signal is increased. Theoretically, they could either cook the town as a whole, or point the energy at a specific person and cook them.

From the International Appeal against 5G:
The evidence that radiofrequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming.
The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ system in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization---cancer, heart disease and diabetes---are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a scientific literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies.

International Appeal to Stop 5G
More than 300,000 scientists, doctors, organizations and citizens from over 220 nations and territories have signed the International Appeal to Stop 5G.
Some of the key points highlighted in the International Appeal include:
- The idea that we will tolerate tens to hundreds of times more radiation at millimetre wavelengths is based on faulty modelling of the human body as a shell filled with a homogeneous liquid. The assumption that millimetre waves do not penetrate beyond the skin completely ignores nerves, blood vessels and other electrically conducting structures that can carry radiation-induced currents deep into the body.
- Another, potentially more serious error is that phased arrays are not ordinary antennas. When an ordinary electromagnetic field enters the body, it causes charges to move and currents to flow. But when extremely short electromagnetic pulses enter the body, something else happens: the moving charges themselves become little antennas that reradiate the electromagnetic field and send it deeper into the body. These reradiated waves are called Brillouin precursors. They become significant when either the power or the phase of the waves changes rapidly enough.
- The reason for the current inadequate safety guidelines is that conflicts of interest of standard-setting bodies “due to their relationships with telecommunications or electric companies undermine the impartiality that should govern the regulation of Public Exposure Standards for non-ionizing radiation.”
- To refuse to accept and apply relevant and valid scientific knowledge is ethically unacceptable. Existing research shows that 5G contravenes principles enshrined in a host of international agreements. At least 11 international agreements are being violated by the implementation of 5G.
- In order to transmit the enormous amounts of data required for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G technology, when fully deployed, will use millimetre waves, which are poorly transmitted through solid material. This will require every carrier to install base stations every 100 metres in every urban area in the world.
- If the telecommunications industry’s plans for 5G come to fruition, no person, no animal, no bird, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet.
- The evidence that radio frequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming. The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer, heart disease and diabetes—are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies.

Firefighters In California Get Exempt Status For 5G (no 5G cell towers allowed on fire stations)
Firefighters in California are now exempt from having 5G antennas installed at fire stations. They produced medical data indicating neurological damage to all firefighters working out of a station with 5G antennas. The firefighter’s union (IAFF) was successful in getting an exemption so that fire stations will not have 5G cell towers.
In 2015 and 2017, Acts put in from of the California Congress and Senate, respectively, were passed giving firefighters an exception from having telecommunication antennas mounted on their place of work citing health exposure risks and illness.
Dating back to a study conducted in 2004, all firefighters working in one station with a cell tower, for over five years, were given brain scans. The scans showed that firefighters had dead brain cells from radiation exposure. Noted as “pervasive, excitability of the neurons” the causation was chronic exposure to pulsed, data-modulated, radio-frequency electromagnetic microwave radiation (RF-EMR).
When neurons are stimulated, they send information back and forth, across the brain. However, when they are over-stimulated, without any rest, such as from EMF-RF radiation, the brain cells get overworked and, in time, will die.
If these types of studies were conducted on firefighters over the last 16 years, what damage is 5G, cell towers and other telecommunication technology having on the rest of humanity?

Swiss RE Classifies 5G as “HIGH IMPACT" Emerging Risk
5G is rated as a “high impact” emerging risk affecting property and casualty claims in more than 3 years.

The text on page 29 of the Swiss Re 2019 Report is as follows:

To allow for functional network coverage and increased capacity overall, more antennas will be needed, including acceptance of higher levels of electromagnetic radiation. In some jurisdictions, the rise of threshold values will require legal adaptation. Existing concerns regarding potential negative health effects from electromagnetic fields (EMF) are only likely to increase. An uptick in liability claims could be a potential long-term consequence.

FCC is a "Captured Agency" (controlled by the telecommunications industry)
There‘s no question that the government has been under the influence of industry. The FCC is a captured agency. That‘s a term that comes up time and time again with the FCC.
Captured agencies are essentially controlled by the industries they are supposed to regulate. A detailed look at FCC actions—and non-actions—shows that over the years the FCC has granted the wireless industry
pretty much what it has wanted.
“The FCC’s network of corruption doesn’t just shield industry from needed scrutiny and regulation on matters of public health and safety. Sometimes it just puts its hand directly into the public pocket and redistributes that cash to industry supplicants."

International Actions to Halt and Delay 5G
The growing awareness of the health impact of the 4G/5G densification is resulting in action by policymakers worldwide.
Why have more than 220 of the world’s leading scientists signed an appeal to the WHO and the United Nations to protect public health from wireless radiation and nothing has been done?
Why have 1,000s of peer-reviewed studies, including the recently published 16-year $30 million study, that are showing a wide range of statistically significant DNA damage, brain and heart tumors, infertility, and so many other ailments, being ignored by the FCC?

Risks to Health and Well-Being From Radio-Frequency Radiation Emitted by Cell Phones and Other Wireless Devices
August 13, 2019
Cell towers should be distanced from homes, daycare centers, schools, and places frequented by pregnant women, men who wish to father healthy children, and the young.
Emerging human evidence is confirming animal evidence of developmental problems with RFR exposure during pregnancy. RFR sources should be avoided and distanced from expectant mothers, as recommended by physicians and scientists.
At the time of writing, a total of 32 countries or governmental bodies within these countries have issued policies and health recommendations concerning exposure to RFR. Three U.S. states have issued advisories to limit exposure to RFR and the Worcester Massachusetts Public Schools voted to post precautionary guidelines on Wi-Fi radiation on its website.
In France, Wi-Fi has been removed from pre-schools and ordered to be shut off in elementary schools when not in use, and children aged 16 years or under are banned from bringing cell phones to school. Because the national test agency found 9 out of 10 phones exceeded permissible radiation limits, France is also recalling several million phones.

Lawsuit Against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regarding the 5G Rollout
In a rush to migrate this country to 5G, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted an order that will accelerate the installation of 5G transmitters in public rights-of-way.
In contrast to the longer wavelengths associated with older wireless technologies (known as 3G and 4G) which allow towers to be spaced miles apart, 5G will rely on shorter millimeter wavelengths that travel only short distances, thus requiring that small cell poles be placed close together (e.g., every 250 meters. MC218; see MC326 (poles every 100 feet with antennas 30 feet or less above the ground).
Thousands of these transmitters will be densely packed into residential areas and public spaces.
Such densification means that homes and businesses will be subjected to simultaneous 5G emissions from multiple poles and antennas that are positioned directly in the front or back of individual properties.
The FCC adopted RF exposure standards in 1996 (23 years ago). Those standards were designed to protect only against the heating or burning of human tissue. The FCC has not updated those standards to reflect the massive amounts of research that have been published in this field.
Montgomery County, Maryland, and many others asked the FCC to evaluate recent scientific studies before speeding the widespread deployment of 5G transmitters. The FCC refused.
As this Appeal states, the FCC had a legal duty (under the National Environmental Policy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act) to reevaluate the RF standards in light of recent research.

California Supreme Court Affirms Local Authority to Regulate Wireless Infrastructure
(California Supreme Court affirms local authority on 5G, small cell and utility infrastructure)
This breaking development recognizes the shift of power toward local governments, and away from the 5G corporate oligarchy operating through the FCC.
On April 4, 2019, the California Supreme Court published an opinion supporting municipal authority to make regulations on so-called ‘small cell’ PROW (public right of way, aka ROW) towers and uses of the public’s right-of-way. This opinion affirms the 2016 appellate court ruling.
This opinion seems to go far beyond mere aesthetic standards — the focus of the lawsuit by T-Mobile West LLC — affirming the exercise of municipalities’ full police powers to regulate small cell towers in the public’s right of way, including that municipalities do have discretionary power.
These decisions give cities and counties the backbone and legal cover to create and enforce rules and ordinances to protect the public, the environment, and public land. These decisions are vital documents for local officials and decision-makers. Hopefully as well, they will provide support for actions in other states and countries.

Geneva, Switzerland Prohibits 5G
April 11, 2019
The Canton of Geneva has introduced a preliminary ban on the construction of 5G antennae. The cantonal parliament first requires investigations into possible health implications.
The prohibition will only be lifted again if independent scientific findings are available on the possible health effects of 5G. The Geneva government will now turn to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and request independent studies.
In Geneva's Grand Council, it was argued that many mobile operators would explain to consumers that 5G is the same as LTE. However, the environment is increasingly burdened by electromagnetic waves and nobody knows about the health effects. The cantonal parliament also wants to know about the effects on animals.

Brussels, Belgium, Halts 5G Development
April 1, 2019
Plans for a pilot project to provide high speed 5G wireless internet in Brussels have been halted due to fears for the health of citizens.
In July, the government concluded an agreement with three telecom operators to relax the strict radiation standards in Brussels. But according to the Region, it is now impossible to estimate the radiation from the antennas required for the service.
"I cannot welcome such technology if the radiation standards, which must protect the citizen, are not respected, 5G or not," Environment minister Céline Fremault (CDH) told Bruzz. "The people of Brussels are not guinea pigs whose health I can sell at a profit. We cannot leave anything to doubt," she added.

U.S. Congress Investigates 5G and Questions Wireless Industry Representatives
February 18, 2019 article (see below for the link)
Over the past few months, Congress has been investigating the 5G rollout and questioning wireless industry representatives about the health effects of 5G. Senator Richard Blumenthal asked the executives “whether they have supported research on the safety of 5G technology and potential links between radiofrequency and cancer, and the industry representatives conceded they have not.”
Specifically, Senator Blumenthal asked:
“So, my question for you: How much money has the industry committed to supporting additional independent research—I stress independent—research? Is that independent research ongoing? Has any been completed? Where can consumers look for it? And we’re talking about research on the biological effects of this new technology.”
At the end of the exchange, Blumenthal concluded, “So, there really is no research ongoing. We’re kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety is concerned.”
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal grilled wireless industry representatives, who admitted the industry has done ZERO health & safety studies on 5G technology. Meanwhile, dozens of independent studies indicate that 5G is a risk to all biological life.

Permit Denied for Cell Tower Near Devil's Lake State Park
October 22, 2019
The Sauk County Land Resources and Environment Committee on Tuesday denied a permit for Bug Tussel Wireless to build a cellphone tower outside of Devil’s Lake State Park.
At the public hearing Tuesday, no one from the public spoke in support of the permit, while many spoke in opposition.
“I’m trying to wrap my head around this whole issue,” said Baraboo resident Steve Drexler. “Property values, obviously they are going to drop, it’s not a question of if they will drop or not, it’s a question of how much."
“My children have the right to live without three times the chance of cancer. I have the right to live without three times the increased chance of cancer,” said Perkins. “If this passes, I come home to look at a beacon of death behind my home.”
Other areas of concern for those who spoke in opposition to the proposal included the visual the pole would create in the park, and possible impact to wildlife and bird flight patterns throughout the park.

Sprint Shuts Down Cell Tower at Ripon School Over Parents' Cancer Concerns
March 28, 2019
Sprint has turned off a cell phone tower at a Ripon elementary school that parents suspect was the cause of cancer cases among students and teachers.
Ripon Unified School District said the tower at Weston Elementary School was disconnected Wednesday and Sprint is working on relocating the cell site.
Four students and three teachers at Weston have been diagnosed with different forms of cancer since 2016. In addition, two preschool-age children living near the school have been treated for a malignant tumor and leukemia, and a Modesto family says a 22-year-old former student of Weston underwent surgery last year for a brain tumor.

Large-Scale Study Proves that Cell Tower Radiation Causes Cancer
May 06, 2018
The body of scientific evidence indicating that cell tower radiation can cause cancer is growing too big to ignore.
The world’s biggest animal study of cell tower radiation, which was carried out by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy, has revealed the dangers of exposure to environmental levels of cell tower radiation. In the study, researchers exposed 2,448 rats to 1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation in amounts that mimicked those that cell tower antennas give off for 19 hours a day. They found that the female rats had a higher chance of developing malignant brain tumors, while all rats had a higher chance of precancerous conditions and Schwann cell hyperplasia.
This study went the extra mile, allowing the rats to live until their natural death. Four fifths of human cancers occur after people have turned 60, so following the animals over an extended period enabled them to catch late-developing tumors.
The researchers say that their findings are enough to call on the International Agency for Research on Cancer to take another look at the carcinogenicity of radiofrequency radiation on humans.
It’s worth noting that this study used far lower amounts of radiation than those used by the U.S. National Toxicology Program. That study also found the cancer Schwannoma of the heart in male rats, but it faced some criticism for the high doses used. In the Ramazzini study, however, the exposures were even lower than the “safe” limits set out by the FCC, which means people can be exposed to such levels of radiation legally.
The executive director of Environmental Health Trust, Theodora Scarato, said that several nations already have stricter regulations than the U.S. when it comes to cell tower radiation – namely Russia, Italy, India and China. The group is joining public health experts from places like Israel, France and Belgium in asking governments and the private sector to carry out measures to make cell technology usage safer. For example, they’d like to see campaigns educating the public on how to use these devices safely and the potential dangers of exposure. Meanwhile, technology companies can look into changing software and hardware in ways that reduce people’s exposure.

BioInitiative Working Group, BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standards for Electromagnetic Radiation (2012)
The range of possible health effects that are adverse with chronic exposures has broadened. The most serious health endpoints that have been reported to be associated with extremely low frequency (ELF) and/or radio frequency radiation (RFR) include childhood and adult leukemia, childhood and adult brain tumors, and increased risk of Alzheimer’s and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In addition, there are reports of increased risk of breast cancer in both men and women, genotoxic effects, pathological leakage of the blood–brain barrier, altered immune function including increased allergic and inflammatory responses, miscarriage, and some cardiovascular effects. Insomnia is reported in studies of people living in very low-intensity RFR environments with Wi-Fi and cell tower-level exposures. Short-term effects on cognition, memory and learning, behavior, reaction time, attention and concentration, and altered brainwave activity (altered EEG) are also reported in the scientific literature.
Bioeffects are Clearly Established
Bioeffects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation. Bioeffects can occur in the first few minutes at levels associated with cell and cordless phone use. Bioeffects can also occur from just minutes of exposure to mobile phone masts (cell towers), WI-FI, and wireless utility ‘smart’ meters that produce whole-body exposure. Chronic base station level exposures can result in illness.

2011 study by Yakymenko et al titled "Long-term exposure to microwave radiation provokes cancer growth: evidences from radars and mobile communication systems"
Even a year of operation of a powerful base transmitting station for mobile communication reportedly resulted in a dramatic increase of cancer incidence among population living nearby. In addition, model studies in rodents unveiled a significant increase in carcinogenesis after 17-24 months of MW exposure both in tumor-prone and intact animals. To that, such metabolic changes, as overproduction of reactive oxygen species, 8-hydroxi-2-deoxyguanosine formation, or ornithine decarboxylase activation under exposure to low intensity MW confirm a stress impact of this factor on living cells.
We also address the issue of standards for assessment of biological effects of irradiation. It is now becoming increasingly evident that assessment of biological effects of non-ionizing radiation based on physical (thermal) approach used in recommendations of current regulatory bodies, including the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Guidelines, requires urgent reevaluation.
We conclude that recent data strongly point to the need for re-elaboration of the current safety limits for non-ionizing radiation using recently obtained knowledge. We also emphasize that the everyday exposure of both occupational and general public to MW radiation should be regulated based on a precautionary principles which imply maximum restriction of excessive exposure.

2016 study by Waldmann-Selsman et al titled "Radiofrequency radiation injures trees around mobile phone base stations"
We selected 60 damaged trees, in addition to 30 randomly selected trees and 30 trees in low radiation areas. The measurements of all trees revealed significant differences between the damaged side facing a phone mast and the opposite side, as well as differences between the exposed side of damaged trees and all other groups of trees in both sides. Thus, we found that side differences in measured values of power flux density corresponded to side differences in damage. The 30 selected trees in low radiation areas (no visual contact to any phone mast and power flux density under 50μW/m2) showed no damage. Statistical analysis demonstrated that electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone masts is harmful for trees. These results are consistent with the fact that damage afflicted on trees by mobile phone towers usually start on one side, extending to the whole tree over time.

2014 article about the Department of Interior concerns regarding the effects of cell tower radiation on wildlife
The Director of the Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance of the United States Department of the Interior sent a letter to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in the Department of Commerce which addresses the Interior Department's concern that cell tower radiation has had negative impacts on the health of migratory birds and other wildlife.
The Interior Department accused the Federal government of employing outdated radiation standards set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), a federal agency with no expertise in health. The standards are no longer applicable because they control only for overheating and do not protect organisms from the adverse effects of exposure to the low-intensity radiation produced by cell phones and cell towers:
"the electromagnetic radiation standards used by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continue to be based on thermal heating, a criterion now nearly 30 years out of date and inapplicable today."
Radiation studies at cellular communication towers were begun circa 2000 in Europe and continue today on wild nesting birds. Study results have documented nest and site abandonment, plumage deterioration, locomotion problems, reduced survivorship, and death (e.g., Balmori 2005, Balmori and Hallberg 2007, and Everaert and Bauwens 2007).

From the American Academy of Pediatrics Website: “Electromagnetic Fields: A Hazard to Your Health?” on Cell Tower Radiation
“Electromagnetic Fields: A Hazard to Your Health?” on Cell Tower Radiation
“In recent years, concern has increased about exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones and phone station antennae. An Egyptian study confirmed concerns that living nearby mobile phone base stations increased the risk for developing:
Headaches
Memory problems
Dizziness
Depression
Sleep problems
Short-term exposure to these fields in experimental studies have not always shown negative effects, but this does not rule out cumulative damage from these fields, so larger studies over longer periods are needed to help understand who is at risk. In large studies, an association has been observed between symptoms and exposure to these fields in the everyday environment.”

This study evaluated effects in the human blood of individuals living near mobile phone base stations (within 80 meters) compared with healthy controls (over 300 meters). The study found higher radiofrequency radiation exposures and statistically significant differences in the blood of people living closer to the cellular antennas. The group living closer to the antennas had for example, statistically significant higher frequency of micronuclei and a rise in lipid peroxidation in their blood. These changes are considered biomarkers predictive of cancer.

Epidemiological Evidence for a Health Risk from Mobile Phone Base Stations. Khurana, Hardell et al, International Journal of Occupational Environmental Health, Vol 16(3):263-267, 2010.
A review of 10 epidemiological studies that assessed for negative health effects of mobile phone base stations (4 studies were from Germany, and 1 each from Austria, Egypt, France, Israel, Poland, Spain) found that seven showed altered neurobehavioral effects near cell tower and three showed increased cancer incidence. The review also found that eight of the 10 studies reported increased prevalence of adverse neurobehavioral symptoms or cancer in populations living at distances < 500 meters from base stations. Lower cognitive performance was found in individuals living ≤ 10 meters from base stations. None of the studies reported exposure above accepted international guidelines, suggesting that current guidelines may be inadequate in protecting the health of human populations.

Cell towers are harmful to humans, animals and plants
5G: The Largest Unethical Medical Experiment in Human History (2020) by Ronald N. Kostoff, Ph.D.
We are in the midst of the largest unethical medical experiment in human history. This experiment is the implementation and operation of a global wireless network for communications, surveillance, and other purposes. It is a medical experiment because we do not know the full extent of the adverse health effects that will result from this wireless network implementation and operation. It is an unethical medical experiment because it violates the key ethical medical experiment requirement of ‘informed consent’ from the participants.
This monograph describes the largest unethical medical experiment in human history: the implementation and operation of non-ionizing non-visible EMF radiation (hereafter called wireless radiation) infrastructure for communications, surveillance, weaponry, and other applications. It is unethical because it violates the key ethical medical experiment requirement for “informed consent” by the overwhelming majority of the participants.
The monograph provides background on unethical medical research/experimentation, and frames the implementation of wireless radiation within that context. The monograph then identifies a wide spectrum of adverse effects of wireless radiation as reported in the premier biomedical literature for over seven decades. Even though many of these reported adverse effects are extremely severe, the true extent of their severity has been grossly underestimated.
Most of the reported laboratory experiments that produced these effects are not reflective of the real-life environment in which wireless radiation operates. Many experiments do not include pulsing and modulation of the carrier signal, and most do not account for synergistic effects of other toxic stimuli acting in concert with the wireless radiation. These two additions greatly exacerbate the severity of the adverse effects from wireless radiation, and their neglect in current (and past) experimentation results in substantial under-estimation of the breadth and severity of adverse effects to be expected in a real-life situation. This lack of credible safety testing, combined with depriving the public of the opportunity to provide informed consent, contextualizes the wireless radiation infrastructure operation as an unethical medical experiment.

Russian Scientific Report on Biological Effect of Millimeter Radiowaves (Published in 1977; declassified and approved for release on May 10, 2012)
Morphological, functional and biochemical studies conducted in humans and animals revealed that millimeter waves caused changes in the body manifested in structural alterations in the skin and internal organs, qualitative and quantitative changes of the blood and bone marrow composition and changes of the conditioned reflex activity, tissue respiration, activity of enzymes participating in the process of tissue respiration and nucleic metabolism.
As the results of histomorphological analysis showed, in the functionally active structures of tissue of the mycordium, liver, kidneys and spleen disorders of the hemodynamics were established, with disruption of the permeability of the vesicular membranes, the appearance of micronecroses and subsequent tissue dystrophy.
Moreover, qualitative and quantitative shifts were revealed in the erythrocytic and leukocytic composition of the blood of irradiated animals, indicating suppression of the hemopoietic function of the bone marrow and lymphatic system. Noted in the composition of the red blood was eosinophilia, neutrophilia and lymphopenia, and lowering of the hemoglobin level and reduction of the number of erythrocytes were observed, which was determined to a considerable degree by the retention of erythrocytes in the bone marrow. In the latter occurred an increase of the number of erythroblastic cells and decrease of cells of the leukoblastic series.
A characteristic feature of the biological effect of radiowaves was changes of the state of various sections of the central and vegetative nervous systems which involve directly or indirectly disorders of the principal functions of the organisms.

World's Largest Animal Study On Cell Tower Radiation Confirms Cancer Link
April 9, 2018
Researchers with the renowned Ramazzini Institute (RI) in Italy announce that a large-scale lifetime study of lab animals exposed to environmental levels of cell tower radiation developed cancer. A $25 million study of much higher levels of cell phone radiofrequency (RF) radiation, from the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), has also reported finding the same unusual cancer called Schwannoma of the heart in male rats treated at the highest dose. In addition, the RI study of cell tower radiation also found increases in malignant brain (glial) tumors in female rats and precancerous conditions including Schwann cells hyperplasia in both male and female rats.
The study findings are making headline news. Read the Corriere Di Bologna article “Cellulari, a study by Ramazzini: “They cause very rare tumors.”
“Our findings of cancerous tumors in rats exposed to environmental levels of RF are consistent with and reinforce the results of the US NTP studies on cell phone radiation, as both reported increases in the same types of tumors of the brain and heart in Sprague-Dawley rats. Together, these studies provide sufficient evidence to call for the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to re-evaluate and re-classify their conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans,” said Fiorella Belpoggi PhD, study author and RI Director of Research.
The Ramazzini study exposed 2448 Sprague-Dawley rats from prenatal life until their natural death to “environmental” cell tower radiation for 19 hours per day (1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation (RFR) of 5, 25 and 50 V/m). RI exposures mimicked base station emissions like those from cell tower antennas, and exposure levels were far less than those used in the NTP studies of cell phone radiation.
“All of the exposures used in the Ramazzini study were below the US FCC limits. These are permissible exposures according the FCC. In other words, a person can legally be exposed to this level of radiation. Yet cancers occurred in these animals at these legally permitted levels. The Ramazzini findings are consistent with the NTP study demonstrating these effects are a reproducible finding,” explained Ronald Melnick PhD, formerly the Senior NIH toxicologist who led the design of the NTP study on cell phone radiation now a Senior Science Advisor to Environmental Health Trust (EHT). “Governments need to strengthen regulations to protect the public from these harmful non-thermal exposures.”
“This important article from one of the most acclaimed institutions of its kind in the world provides a major new addition to the technical literature indicating strong reasons for concern about electromagnetic radiation from base stations or cell towers,” stated Editor in Chief of Environmental Research Jose Domingo PhD, Professor of Toxicology, School of Medicine at Reus University, Catalonia, Spain.
“The US NTP results combined now with the Ramazzini study, reinforce human studies from our team and others providing clear evidence that RF radiation causes acoustic neuromaa (vestibular schwannoma) and gliomas, and should be classified carcinogenic to humans,” stated Lennart Hardell MD, PhD, physician-epidemiologist with the Department of Oncology, University Hospital, Örebro, Sweden, who has published extensively on environmental causes of cancer including Agent Orange, pesticides and cell phone radiofrequency radiation.
“The evidence indicating wireless is carcinogenic has increased and can no longer be ignored,” stated University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health Professor Emeritus Anthony B. Miller MD, Member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of Canada and the UK, and Senior Medical Advisor to EHT who is also a long-term advisor to the World Health Organization.
“This study raises concerns that simply living close to a cell tower will pose threats to human health. Governments need to take measures to reduce exposures from cell tower emissions.
Cell towers should not be near schools, hospitals or people’s homes. Public health agencies need to educate the public on how to reduce exposure from all sources of wireless radiofrequency radiation—be it from cell towers or cell phones or Wi-Fi in schools,” stated David O. Carpenter MD, former Dean of the School of Public Health at the University at Albany. “This is particularly urgent because of current plans to place small 5G cell towers about every 300 meters in every street across the country. These 5G ‘small cell’ antennas will result in continuous exposure to everyone living nearby and everyone walking down the street. The increased exposures will increase risk of cancer and other diseases such as electro-hypersensitivity.”

India Regulates Cell Towers
In August 2013, the city of Mumbai, the most populous city in India, prohibited cell towers within 100 meters of schools, colleges, orphanages, child rehabilitation centers, and old age homes. It ordered that existing antennas on schools, colleges and hospitals be removed.
It also prohibited the installation of antennas on residential rooftops without the consent of every person on the top floor, as well as the consent of 70% of the people in the rest of the building. And it began the process of dismantling 3,200 illegal rooftop towers.
Supreme Court of India Orders Cell Towers Removed From Schools, Colleges, Hospitals in Rajasthan
On November 27, 2012, the High Court of the state of Rajasthan, India’s largest state geographically, ordered the removal of all cell towers from the vicinity of schools, colleges, hospitals and playgrounds because of radiation “hazardous to life.” The court’s amazing 200+ page decision
thoroughly reviews the worldwide evidence that cell towers are harming human beings and wildlife.
You can read articles about this on the Times of India
website
and the RTI India
website.
On July 5, 2013, the Supreme Court of India upheld this decision.
The judge, after reviewing the worldwide evidence about health and environmental effects, issued a permanent injunction.
The judge said:
“The radiation of the said tower is dangerous to the life of human beings and also flora and fauna causing severe imbalance to the wholesome environment which is emancipated as one of the basic fundamental rights included with right to life as enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution of India.”

Report from the Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI)
Barry Trower, a retired British Secret Service Microwave Weapons specialist and world-renowned expert in this field, summed it up:
By 1971, we knew everything that needed to be known (about RF radiation).
He is referring to a 1971 report from the Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) that focused on the health effects of RF radiation. The NMRI report included references to more than 2,300 published research papers on the biological responses to radiofrequency and microwave radiation.
Here is a partial list of health effects from the report:
• Heating of organs (skin, bone, genitalia, brain, sinuses, metal implants)
• Changes in physiologic function (muscle contraction, alteration of diameter of blood vessels, changes in oxidative processes, liver enlargement, decreased sperm, altered menstrual activity and fetal development, decreased lactation, increased electrical resistance of skin, altered blood flow rate, EKG changes, sensitivity to light, sound and olfactory stimuli, changes in the eyes, necrosis, hemorrhage in lungs, liver, gut and brain, degeneration of body tissue, loss of anatomical parts, dehydration, death)
• Central nervous system (headaches, insomnia, restlessness, EEG changes, cranial nerve disorders, vagomimetic action of the heart, seizures, convulsions)
• Autonomic nervous system (fatigue, neuro-vegetative disorders, structural alterations in the synapses of the vagus nerve, inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system)
• Peripheral nervous system (effects on locomotor nerves)
• Psychological disorders (depression, impotence, anxiety, lack of concentration, dizziness, insomnia, loss of memory, chest pain, tremor of the hands)
• Behavioral changes (reflexive, operant, avoidance and discrimination behaviors)
• Blood disorders (changes in blood, bone marrow, hemolysis, sedimentation rate, blood glucose concentration, cholesterol and lipids, number of eosinophils, albumin/globulin ratio)
• Vascular disorders (thrombosis, hypertension)
• Histological changes (changes in tubular epithelium of testicles, gross changes)
• Enzyme and other biochemical changes (changes in activity of cholinesterase, phosphatase, transaminase and amylase, protein denaturation; toxin, fungus and virus inactivation; tissue cultures killed, alteration in rate of cell division, increase concentration of RNA in lymphocytes and decreased concentration in brain, liver and spleen)
• Metabolic disorders (sugar in urine, increase in urinary phenol, alteration of rate of metabolic enzymatic processes)
• Gastro-intestinal disorders (anorexia, loss of appetite, epigastric pain, constipation, altered secretion of stomach digestive juices)
• Endocrine gland changes (altered pituitary function, hyperthyroidism, thyroid enlargement, increased uptake of radioactive iodine by thyroid gland, altered adrenal cortex activity, decreased corticosteroids in blood, hypogonadism)
• Genetic and chromosomal changes (chromosome aberrations, mutations, mongolism, somatic alterations, tumors)
• Pearl chain effect (intracellular orientation of subcellular particles and orientation of cellular and other non-biologic particles)
• Miscellaneous effects (sparking between dental fillings; metallic taste in mouth; changes in optical activity; loss of hair; brittleness of hair; sensations of buzzing, vibrations, pulsations about the head and ears; copious perspiration, salivation and protrusion of tongue; changes in the operation of implanted cardiac pacemakers; changes in circadian rhythms)

European Union report titled "5G Deployment: State of Play in Europe, USA and Asia" (April 2019)
It is becoming clear that 5G will cost much more to deploy than previous mobile technologies (perhaps three times as much) as it is more complex and requires a denser coverage of base stations to provide the expected capacity. The European Commission has estimated that it will cost €500 billion to meet its 2025 connectivity targets, which includes 5G coverage in all urban areas.
As 5G is driven by the telecoms supply industry, and its long tail of component manufacturers, a major campaign is under way to convince governments that the economy and jobs will be strongly stimulated by 5G deployment. However, we are yet to see significant “demand-pull” that could assure sales. These campaign efforts are also aimed at the MNOs but they have limited capacity to invest in the new technology and infrastructure as their returns from investment in 3G and 4G are still being recouped.
The notion of a “race” is part of the campaign but it is becoming clear that the technology will take much longer than earlier generations to perfect. China, for instance, sees 5G as at least a ten-year programme to become fully working and completely rolled out nationally. This is because the technologies involved with 5G are much more complex. One aspect, for example, that is not well understood today is the unpredictable propagation patterns that could result in unacceptable levels of human exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
The USA is moving towards some form of rollout of mobile broadband as 5G but not necessarily in a holistic, well-orchestrated operation. It is more a set of ad hoc commercial manoeuvres. Some of these are simply rebranding existing LTE, rather than delivering novel networks. Re-use of the LTE spectrum in the UHF ranges (300 MHz to 3 GHz) is significant. The latter decision is probably warranted by its geography of large rural spaces and high density urban centres situated more on the coasts. Thus, the insistence for 5G on high centimetric bands (25–30 GHz and higher) is probably less justified than for the dense conurbations of Asia and the EU.
A significant challenge concerns the administrative local barriers to small cell rollout. The need for many small cells implies long delays and high costs. Local regulations continue to prevail despite the FCC’s mandate on a light-touch regime and minimal permit costs. This has led to a wide divide between local and central government on the principles of having to obtain permission for rollout and the charges for that. Local administrations, especially in the larger municipalities, are at loggerheads with the FCC (Zima, 2018). Several court challenges are being made to the FCC mandate of August 2018 that overrides local objections to a “one-touch” regime.

5G Frequencies are Highly Absorbed into Insects (especially bees)
Exposure of Insects to Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields from 2 to 120 GHz” published in Scientific Reports is the first study to investigate how insects (including the Western honeybee) absorb the higher frequencies (2 GHz to 120 GHz) to be used in the 4G/5G rollout. The scientific simulations showed increases in absorbed power between 3% to 370% when the insects were exposed to the frequencies.

Anthropogenic Electromagnetic Noise Disrupts Magnetic Compass Orientation in a Migratory Bird
Scientists found that migrating robins became disorientated when exposed to electromagnetic fields at levels far lower than the safety threshold for humans. This research study showed that migratory birds are unable to use their magnetic compass in the presence of urban electromagnetic noise.
"When European robins, Erithacus rubecula, were exposed to the background electromagnetic noise present in unscreened wooden huts at the University of Oldenburg campus, they could not orient using their magnetic compass. Their magnetic orientation capabilities reappeared in electrically grounded, aluminium-screened huts, which attenuated electromagnetic noise in the frequency range from 50 kHz to 5 MHz by approximately two orders of magnitude. When the grounding was removed or when broadband electromagnetic noise was deliberately generated inside the screened and grounded huts, the birds again lost their magnetic orientation capabilities."

Millimeter Waves Travel More Than 10 Kilometers in Rural Virginia 5G Experiment
November 7, 2016
Previous experiments have focused on cities, because millimeter waves were thought to be of limited use to rural residents.
A key 5G technology got an important test over the summer in an unlikely place. In August, a group of students from New York University packed up a van full of radio equipment and drove for ten hours to the rural town of Riner in southwest Virginia. Once there, they erected a transmitter on the front porch of the mountain home of their professor, Ted Rappaport, and pointed it out over patches of forest toward a blue-green horizon.
The group found that the waves could travel more than 10 kilometers in this rural setting, even when a hill or knot of trees was blocking their most direct route to the receiver. The team detected millimeter waves at distances up to 10.8 kilometers at 14 spots that were within line of sight of the transmitter, and recorded them up to 10.6 kilometers away at 17 places where their receiver was shielded behind a hill or leafy grove. They achieved all this while broadcasting at 73 Gigahertz (GHz) with minimal power—less than 1 watt.
"I was surprised we exceeded 10 kilometers with a few tens of milliwatts,” Rappaport says. “I expected we'd be able to go a few kilometers in non-line-of-sight but we were able to go beyond ten."
In the past, Rappaport’s group has shown that a receiver positioned at street level can reliably pick up millimeter waves broadcast at 28 GHz and 73 GHz at a distance of up to 200 meters in New York City using less than 1 watt of transmitter power—even if the path to the transmitter is blocked by a towering row of buildings.

CEO of Verizon Admits that He Gave False Information about 5G to the California Legislature
July 10, 2018
Presentation by Lowell McAdam, CEO of Verizon, regarding 5G. He admits that what he told the California legislature in 2017 was false.
McAdam stated: “We have now busted the myth that 5G has to be line-of-sight. It does not. We busted the myth that foliage will shut 5G down . . . that does not happen. And the 200 feet from a home? We are now designing the network for over 2,000 feet from transmitter to receiver.” 5G antennas can be installed on Macro Cell Towers, as shown in the video.

The 5G Spin, the Deeper Truth, and What You Can Do
As early as 1973—46 years ago—WHO knew the truth about the harmful effects of microwave radiation. It published a document based on a symposium held in Warsaw on 15–18 October 1973 and attended by 60 researchers specializing in the biological effects of microwaves on humans.
Note from GIHN: Prior to the 1973 Warsaw symposium, the Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) had published an extensive report in 1971 on the health effects of radiofrequency radiation. The NMRI report included references to more than 2,300 published research papers on the biological responses to radiofrequency and microwave radiation. (See above for details and the link to the 1971 NRMI report.)
With the wireless industry, we are seeing some of the same tactics used by the tobacco/cigarette industry, which spent millions of dollars creating doubt among the public and getting industry-friendly scientists to say that smoking wasn’t harmful. Doubt is our product. Denial or non-response is the best way to deal with this. We are too powerful to have to worry about dissenters when there are so many others paying for our services: this is the industry/government/WHO ‘response’.
Having worked for WHO and other United Nations organizations, I am aware of the politics involved and the corruption that can undermine the UN’s many worthy causes. But WHO has seriously overstepped its bounds regarding wireless radiation, promoting a cover-up that is literally costing us the earth. This radiation comes from WiFi, cell phones, cordless phones, cell towers, smart meters and other wireless devices, and it has been scientifically proven to harm all forms of life.
Within WHO, there is a unit called the International EMF Project. It was established in 1996 “to investigate detrimental health effects from exposure” to the man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs), including radio-frequency microwave radiation, from WiFi, cell towers and other wireless devices. It is also supposed to “facilitate the development of internationally acceptable standards limiting EMF exposure”.
The EMF unit is an industry pawn. WHO may claim to be facilitating the development of supposedly safe standards for wireless radiation and assessing scientific data, but the reality is something else altogether. Its EMF Project is deliberately hiding the truth, misinforming the public and devising utterly meaningless safety standards based on unfounded science. It is also receiving funds from—and is staffed by personnel who have worked for—the very industry from which it is meant to protect us. It is also paving the way for the rollout of 5G, an extremely harmful technology that scientists say will wreak havoc on our health and our planet, in addition to monitoring and controlling almost every aspect of life.
The head of the EMF Project, Emilie van Deventer, has worked for the mobile phone industry and her unit gets funding from the wireless industry, violating WHO’s own rules about conflict of interest and violating our right to health and safety. This factor alone completely discredits WHO. Van Deventer is an electrical engineer with zero medical qualifications…but lots of industry connections. Her disregard for our health reveals her medical ignorance, her indifference and her industry bias. Anyone who knows how the body works and how wireless radiation works knows that the two cannot co-exist long term without ill effects. But the World Health Organization has sold us out to the highest bidder—the wireless industry itself—while claiming to research the science, but delaying things for years so the roll-out could continue.
WHO has failed to address or document the global epidemic of wireless-radiation sickness and electro-sensitivity. It has also ignored the appeals, evidence and petitions submitted by hundreds of highly qualified scientists, researchers and doctors, urging WHO to take appropriate action.
WHO appears to have committed almost every crime in the book, violating our human rights, the Nuremberg Code on human experimentation, and many of the UN conventions designed to protect humanity, while robbing us of our physical capacity to protect ourselves or our homes.
As reported by Dr Gabriel Cousens, MD, ND, at least 11 international agreements are being violated by the implementation of 5G, constituting “a serious planetary violation."
