Technology enhances our life tremendously with responsible use.
We are concerned about the growing body of scientific research showing adverse health effects from exposures to wireless technologies. Common wireless sources include cell phones, Wi-Fi, iPads, Fitbits, Bluetooth, cell towers, cordless phones, Alexa/Google Home, and baby monitors.
As convenient as such technology is, there is a growing awareness of its dangers, particularly when it comes to children. We are now exposed to a quintillion (one billion billion) times more wireless radiation than 10 years ago.
The deployment of 5G will involve small cell antennas placed outside of homes and will result in continuous and involuntary radiation exposure for everyone. Children, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses are particularly vulnerable.[/text-with-icon][/vc_column][/vc_row]
