NO THANKS to 5G

Easton, CT passed a "cease and desist" resolution calling on wireless companies to stop their build out of 4G/5G small cell wireless

Dear Tredyffrin and Easttown:

I am writing to inform you that the city of Easton, CT passed a “cease and desist” resolution
calling on wireless companies to stop their build out of 4G/5G small cell wireless antennas until
such facilities are proven safe through independent research. I am respectfully requesting that Tredyffrin and Easttown take the same action to protect our residents.

Currently, small cell facilities are being installed as close as 12 feet from residents' bedrooms.
Many people are experiencing health problems from this exposure and some have been
hospitalized or moved away. Radiation emitting antennas are being erected on or close to school property, with grave implications for the health of students and teachers when they are back in school. In some areas property values near small cells have dropped 20%, and lawsuits are brewing nationwide.

Although Telecom companies claim that 5G is safe according to FCC standards, the fact is that
the FCC has failed to evaluate the scientific literature regarding non-thermal effects of pulsed
and modulated radio frequency radiation on human health or the environment. Two cases were
filed against the FCC for its refusal to review its obsolete guidelines. These cases are in the US
Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.

The consensus among independent scientists (those without conflict of interests and not in the revenue stream) is that thousands of studies show clear evidence of profound adverse effects from the pulsed and modulated RF radiation currently used for wireless communications. 5G is utilizing all of the existing 4G infrastructure as well as new, lower and higher frequencies and millimeter waves frequencies to enable the “Smart” city network to function. The rollout of 5G is exponentially increasing our constant and involuntary exposure to this harmful radiation in our own homes without recourse or escape.

5G is classified as the "highest risk" by Swiss Rea, one of two world leading secondary
insurance companies and the cell towers companies find it difficult to get liability insurance for
the health effects.

Unless and until wireless companies are able to prove that close proximity to small cell
microwave antennas is completely safe for all humans, including pregnant women, young
children and other vulnerable populations, and that they have obtained liability insurance without an EMF "pollution" exclusion, I ask you to immediately adopt a protective municipal code and a cease and desist resolution.

In the meantime, I request that any construction of high-speed communications infrastructure
consist only of fiber optic cables connected directly to homes and apartments of residents. Fiber
optic connections are faster, safer, more secure and significantly less expensive than wireless
connections.

Please protect our children, residents and businesses as Easton, CT has done! Thank you!

Sincerely,

Archimedes
