Aloha Council Members,
I support Resolution 678-20. Here are some reasons why:
"The radiation from small cells is not small: Wireless antennas emit microwaves — non-ionizing
radiofrequency radiation — and essentially function as cell towers. Each installation can have over a
thousand antennas that are transmitting simultaneously 5G will not only utilize current 3G and 4G wireless
frequencies already in use but also add higher frequency — submillimeter and millimeter waves — in order
to transmit data at superfast speeds."

"The single most important fact about 5G that nobody is talking about is called "phased array." It will totally change the way cell
towers and cell phones are constructed and will transform the blanket of radiation which has enveloped our world for two
decades into a million powerful beams whizzing by us at all times. "

"5G Cell Towers are More Dangerous for Two Main Reasons:
* First, 5G emits "ultra high frequencies". The higher the frequency, the shorter the length of each wave. This means more
waves hit our bodies in the same amount of time. Previous cellular generations emitted from 1 to 6 GHz frequencies. 5G cell
towers may emit frequencies as high as 300 GHz.
* Second, 5G technology requires "ultra high intensity". Since the shorter length millimeter waves (MMV) used in 5G do not
travel as far(and get obstructed easier), with our current number of cell towers the cell signal will not be reliable. To compensate
5G cell towers will have to emit the lower 3G &4G waves as well, and many more "mini cell towers" will have to be installed. It is
estimated that they will need a mini cell tower every 2 to 8 houses. All of this combined will greatly increase our RF Radiation
exposure."
"With RF Radiation, how close the source is to our physical bodies is more important than the power level (or wattage) of the
radiation. RF Radiation dissipates with distance. In other words, a low powered exposure right next to someone, is more
dangerous than a more powerful exposure a long ways away. Also the longer the exposure time is, the more dangerous it is. 5G
will be the worst of both worlds. We will have more sources around us, and closer to us. And they will be more powerful and
continuous emissions."

"5G radiofrequency (RF) radiation uses a `cocktail' of three types of radiation, ranging from relatively low-energy radio waves,
microwave radiation with far more energy, and millimeter waves with vastly more energy. The extremely high frequencies in 5G
are where the biggest danger lies. While 4G frequencies go as high as 6 GHz, 5G exposes biological life to pulsed signals in the
30 GHz to 100 GHz range. The general public has never before been exposed to such high frequencies for long periods of
time."
"But former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has made it clear the Telecom-dominated FCC does not put health first: 'Stay out of
the way of technological development,' he said. 'Unlike some countries, we do not believe we should spend the next couple of
years studying... Turning innovators loose is far preferable to letting committees and regulators define the future.' "

"Thousands of published, peer-reviewed studies by independent scientists have
demonstrated harm from exposure to radio-frequency (RF) microwave radiation.
Serious human health problems include reproductive harm, neurolo• ica

problems and cancer. Children and other vulnerable populations are particularly
at risk."

"Dr. Joel M. Moskowitz has compiled more than 30,000 research publications on the effects of non-ionizing EMF radiation, but
has only found 41 that talk about the health effects of 5G. Considering what we know now about the effects of 4G and WiFi, this
is a major oversight."

"Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international
and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages,
structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative
impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful
effects to both plant and animal life." https://www.emfcall.org/the-emf-call/
Keep in mind, the tobacco companies told us cigarettes were safe; the fossil fuel companies were aware of the threat of climate
change since the 1960's, but wilfully ignored it; the telecommunications companies now tell us 5G is nothing to worry about. It's
important to look beyond what the corporate interests say.
