A couple of days ago, a neighbor texted me and said, we need to do something about those cell towers along the strip mall on Hidden Valley Drive! I never really took notice until she pointed them out. Sure enough, there they were, all three of them, tall and imposing. I don't remember them being so tall and so many when I moved here three years ago. 

What do these imposing neighbors mean to me and the peaceful community that I call home? Am I or my loved ones at risk for being so close this these Towers? 

Wouldn't you know it, after a little bit of googling, I found that cell phone towers emit harmful Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) that can negatively affect our health. The following comes was from on the Safe Space Protection website: <https://www.safespaceprotection.com/emf-health-risks/emf-health-effects/cell-towers/>

Health Effects

The microwaves from cell phone towers can interfere with your body’s own EMFs, causing a variety of potential health problems, including:

1. Headaches
2. Memory loss
3. Cardiovascular stress
4. Low sperm count
5. Birth defects
6. Cancer - through Carcinogenic Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation  

A Closer Look at Cell Tower Exposure

Cell towers (or cell sites) that hold antennas and other communications equipment flood the area for miles around with powerful high-frequency radio waves (known as microwaves) to support the use of cellphones as well as Wi-Fi, WiMax, Wireless LANs, 802.11 networks, Bluetooth supported devices and more.

Cell tower microwaves might travel for as few as two miles in hilly areas, and up to 45 miles where there are fewer obstructions; and of course, they easily penetrate brick and metal

Radio masts - Smaller versions of cell towers, often seen on rooftops and billboards, typically installed 800-1300 feet apart.

Mobile towers - Sometimes installed on the tops of buildings. Mobile towers are especially dangerous because they emit microwaves at a frequency of 1900 MHz. Recent studies have shown that the intense radioactivity from mobile phone towers adversely impacts every biological organism within one square kilometer.

Cellphone tower microwaves have a significantly higher frequency than even radio waves. The higher the frequency, the more powerful the wave—and the more powerful its effect on biological organisms (recall that a mobile tower emits microwaves at 1900 MHz).

 5G Cell Towers Are More Dangerous https://www.radiationhealthrisks.com/5g-cell-towers-dangerous/> 

• 5G emits a wider variety of RF Radiation frequencies.
• Emit higher 5G microwave frequencies (between 24 GHz to 300 GHz) 
  The higher the frequency, the higher the danger to living beings
• Also emit 2G, 3G, & 4G frequencies (between 1GHz to 6 GHz)
• Effects of smaller millimetre waves from 5G
  
  • Harms the skin, eyes, and immune system 
  • Lowers bacterial antibiotic resistance
• Common 60 GHz frequencies absorb oxygen, therefore interfere with oxygen absorption in the lungs
• 5G Facts
  • Uses most of the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
  • US military uses it as a crowd control weapon by heating up their skin
  • Subjective to more obstructions and interference
  • Requires 2 - 8 mini cell towers every 2 to 8 houses
  • Increases powerful and continuous emissions with the increase in RF radiation.
  • Non-ionizing is not less dangerous
  • Longer the exposure, the higher the risk
  • Scientists are predicting catastrophic health risks from 5G towers and wireless networks.

Please support me in petitioning for the removal of cell towers in our beautiful community of Hidden Valley and begin the fight to ban 5G network towers from becoming a reality in our community!
