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 my family. 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
roast cooking 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.
