Aloha,
I urge you to support the resolution 678-20 and stop the building of 5G until conclusive, non-
partisan/biased studies have proven safely.
The health implications of being subjected to constant microwave radiation, millions of times higher than
has been shown to cause harm, is catastrophic for humans, bees, birds, animals and plants. Children, the
elderly, and autoimmune compromised are especially vulnerable.
Over 10,000 studies, dating back as far as 1906, show health implications from microwave
radiation (MR), a form of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). According
to www.wearethevidence.org, the following studies have been well known to regulators for
decades:
• In 1906 Merconi conducted a radio frequency (a form of EMF) study on an island
where 90% of the bees died.
• Birds, exposed to microwave radiation from 200 yards away, went from 3.2% of their
population being unable to produce eggs to 40%.
• Frogs, exposed to microwave radiation from 140 yards away, went from a normal die
off rate within a certain time period of 40%, up to 90% after MR exposure.
• 1999 National Toxicology Program (NTP) Study ( $25 million) on 2, 3G showed clear
evidence of the causation of brain cancer and breakage of DNA at exposure levels
permitted by the FCC.
• Ramazzini study confirmed the results of the NTP study at levels of MR exposure
6000 times lower, levels equal to our street level exposure from cell towers.
• 59 million people currently have Electromagnetic Sensitivity, resulting in headaches,
fatigue, chronic illness, inability to work or live in areas with Wifi of Smart Meters. EMS
is an American Disability Act recognized disability.
• Studies show that the plants below the cell towers develop thinner, weaker stalks
making them more susceptible to fire. Fires have been started in CA towns from cell
towers falling due to inclement weather and bird nest interference.
• Fertility studies showed men who did not keep their cell phones in their pockets had
12% non-viable sperm. Those that did put their cell phone in their pockets had 47%
non-viable sperm. Ten years ago 1 out of 10 men had viable sperm. Today, fertility
clinics report 1 out of 100 men have viable sperm.
Thank you for your voice to represent the people.
