Honorable Council Members:
Please stop the proliferation of WiFi until it can be proven safe. I do
not consent to our public places being used as areas of wireless
radiation, which harms myself and family during our time outdoors.
Please follow the Precautionary Principle, like so many other
municipalities, and which is part of our Hawaii Constitution.
WiFi will is not necessary to make a phone call. WiFi is for internet
data. We do not need to surf the web, at the expense of our health
and wellbeing, while in our public parks.
There are now hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies showing
that wireless radiation is harmful. The government's exposure
guidelines were set in the 1990s and based on science from the
1980s. Did anyone even own a cellphone in the '80s? The guidelines
only consider heating effects, as if we were a roastcooking in a
microwave oven! Despite a huge body of scientific evidence, the FCC
refuses to update these guidelines, which are among the least
protective in the world.
This is extremely concerning when it comes to our children, whose
small, developing bodies make them more vulnerable to the effects of
wireless radiation. Children also have a longer life in front of them to
experience the kind of damage researchers have documented:
various cancers, reproductive problems, DNA damage, etc.
To view some of this evidence:

No "free" WiFi in our public parks, please.
A concerned citizen,
Rashani Rea
Comm. N$.
