Why So Many Antennas?
Each telecom company (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) builds its own antenna network. That means more towers, more exposure — often just feet from homes and schools.
Distance Is Protection
Radiation drops sharply with distance. Keep antennas and routers as far away as possible — especially from where children sleep or play.
Choose Fiber—Not Wireless
Fiber to the Premises (FTTP)
Fiber Optic to the Home (FTTH) is faster, safer, and more secure. You’ve already paid for it in phone bills for decades.
But beware: once installed, your modem/router may still beam wireless by default. Ask how to opt out or turn off Wi-Fi.
Tips for Safety
Internet is available through WIRED connections.
WIRED CONNECTIONS are faster, safer and more secure.
WIRED CONNECTIONS can be used for phones, computers and many other devices.
Keep distance between your body and a Wireless device, (read the "FINE PRINT").

Symptoms of Wireless (Microwave Radiation) Exposure
Commonly reported effects include:
Insomnia
Fatigue
Headaches, Dizziness, Neurological Symptoms
Eye Problems
Heart Irregularities
Fertility and Reproductive Issues
Elevated Blood Pressure
Endocrine and Metabolic Disturbances (including Diabetes)
Prolonged or repeated exposure to wireless radiation can interfere with the body’s electrical and neurological signaling, affecting sleep, mood, heart rhythm, and energy regulation.
Individuals who develop chronic or multi-system symptoms may experience what researchers and clinicians describe as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) or Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Syndrome — a condition recognized in several countries as a functional impairment.
The Problem
Industry-friendy FCC Rulings allow and the Connecticut Public Act 19-163, passed in 2019 titled “An Act Accelerating the Deployment of 5G Wireless Facilities” further encourage the use of close-proximity microwave radiation antennas. These cells are intended to operate 4G and 5G and soon 6G telecommunications right next to homes, 24/7 and are additive to current technology.
Opposition is based on:
Redundant Networks
Multiple companies want redundant networks which will lead to a high-density, ground level network of many antennas, very close to homes and each other. Up to 60,000 satellites with additional antennas will add to the mandatory 24/7 irradiation.
Exposure is Harmful
This exposure is harmful to children, adults and pets. Every living organism will be negatively impact but the Federal preemption within the Telecommunications Act prohibits citing RF (Radio Frequency) if the antennas meet FCC guidelines. But we have still have options to say not this tower at this location.
No Liability Coverage
Telecom carriers do not have liability coverage and towns don't insist on liability coverage post installation -- this must change to protect people and towns.
Harmful to Wildlife
The growing network of wireless and radar-based systems contributes to the disruption of natural habitats, migration routes, and communication among species.
Studies have documented disorientation and population decline among pollinators, birds, and small mammals exposed to elevated electromagnetic fields and altered atmospheric conditions.
Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators—vital to global food security—are particularly sensitive to frequency interference and environmental shifts linked to modern infrastructure. Birds and amphibians depend on natural magnetic fields for navigation, which can be distorted by continuous radiation and tower emissions.
As ecosystems become increasingly electrified, endangered species lose not only habitat but also the quiet frequencies of nature they depend upon to survive. Protecting wildlife means restoring environmental balance—reducing unnecessary radiation, preserving natural resonance, and safeguarding the web of life that sustains us all.
Property values
The placement of cell towers, antennas, and related wireless infrastructure near homes and schools has been shown to lower surrounding property values and reduce community desirability.
Multiple real estate and economic studies have reported declines of 10–20% in property value for homes located within visible range of wireless towers or antennas. Buyers often cite concerns about aesthetics, health, and environmental impacts when choosing where to live—factors that directly affect neighborhood stability and long-term equity.
Beyond home prices, communities face broader financial consequences: declining tax assessments, reduced investment appeal, and potential difficulty attracting new residents. Preserving residential character and scenic quality protects not only public health but also the economic foundation of the town itself.

Exposure Guidelines
The current U.S. radiofrequency (RF) exposure limits — established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1996 — remain among the highest and least protective in the world.
These outdated standards were based solely on thermal (heating) effects, ignoring thousands of peer-reviewed studies documenting biological impacts at far lower exposure levels. While countries such as Italy, Switzerland, Russia, China, and India have adopted limits that are 10 to 100 times more protective, the United States continues to rely on obsolete thresholds written before the era of smartphones, Wi-Fi, and 5G.
In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in Environmental Health Trust v. FCC that the agency had failed to adequately review the evidence on non-thermal biological effects when it decided to retain its 1996 limits.
The court remanded the guidelines back to the FCC for proper evaluation — a decision that underscores how federal policy has lagged behind modern science and public health concerns.
This legal precedent confirms that the FCC’s standards are not scientifically or procedurally sufficient, leaving citizens, municipalities, and ecosystems without proper protection.

What do Doctor's and Expert's Say:
Protect Health
Past Efforts to Stop Radiation
Baby Safe Project
In 2015, 252 scientists and health experts from 43 nations submitted an international appeal to the United Nations and the World Health Organization urging stronger protections from electromagnetic radiation (EMR). These scientists—each of whom had published peer-reviewed research on EMF—called for updated exposure limits, independent safety studies, and public education about long-term biological effects.
Their message was simple: modern communication technologies must evolve responsibly, with public health and environmental integrity placed above commercial gain. We stand with these experts in calling for precaution, transparency, and science-based policy to protect present and future generations.

In 1997, a group of Boston-area physicians and scientists circulated a petition titled The Boston Physicians’ and Scientists’ Petition to Avert Public Exposures to Microwaves. The petition warned of dangers over the public’s growing exposure to microwave-radiating infrastructure and urged precautionary measures to protect health and the environment.
This historical record shows that experts raised early warnings decades ago—calls for caution that deserve renewed attention today.
258 physicians, scientists, and educators have signed the Joint Statement on Pregnancy and Wireless Radiation, urging protection for pregnant women and their unborn babies from avoidable wireless exposure.
The Baby Safe Project raises awareness about how electromagnetic radiation can affect fetal development and calls for practical steps to reduce risk—such as keeping devices away from the body, turning off Wi-Fi at night, and using wired connections whenever possible including wired baby monitors vs wireless.
Protecting the next generation begins before birth. By supporting the Baby Safe Project, we honor every child’s right to a healthy start in life.

International Appeal to Stop 5G
The International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space (5GSpaceAppeal.org) was launched in 2018 and has been translated into over 30 languages. As of the latest counts, it has garnered signatures from more than 172,000 individuals and over 1,800 organizations across more than 200 countries and territories.
Among its signers are scientists, medical doctors, engineers, environmental advocates, public health professionals, and concerned citizens. The appeal calls for a moratorium on 5G deployment pending rigorous, independent safety testing; full transparency of infrastructure plans; and protection of human health and ecological systems.
Despite this global consensus, U.S. law (notably Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act) prohibits local governments from considering health or environmental effects when approving wireless facility siting. This legal barrier highlights how urgently we need policy reform and citizen advocacy to ensure safety, consent, and accountability.
Arthur Firstenberg’s vision inspired the International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space, uniting scientists, physicians, and citizens in a shared call for accountability and environmental protection.
Though he passed away in July 2023, his legacy endures through the countless voices now carrying forward his message of awareness, responsibility, and love for all living things. (Learn more at www.cellphonetaskforce.org)
Signers include over:
4,500 scientists
2,500 medical doctors
8,000 engineers
9,600 psychologists,
psychotherapists, and social workers
4,000 nurses
Take Action
In Your Town
Your town has both the right and responsibility to protect public health, property, and the environment.
-
Attend local Planning & Zoning, Conservation, and Selectmen meetings. Public participation builds the record needed for lawful accountability.
-
Encourage your town to update its ordinances to address environmental compatibility, antenna siting, aesthetics, and cumulative effects.
-
Demand environmental review. Towns can require evidence of safety, property impact, and infrastructure need under CEPA (Connecticut Environmental Policy Act) and related statutes.
-
Remember: the Siting Council’s jurisdiction is not absolute. Municipal governments maintain standing to assert environmental and land-use protections within their borders.
At the State Level
-
Call your State Legislators and demand transparency and reform of Public Act 19-163 (formerly HB7152, passed June 2019).
This law accelerated 5G/6G deployment by granting telecoms expanded access to public rights-of-way, utility poles, and streetlights—often without full environmental review or local consent. -
Request hearings on environmental compatibility and cumulative effects of wireless infrastructure.
-
Urge the Connecticut Department of Public Health to review independent, peer-reviewed science on wireless radiation and issue updated guidance to protect vulnerable populations.
-
Advocate for schools and daycare centers to hardwire technology, remove classroom Wi-Fi, and prioritize safe learning environments for children.
At the Federal Level
-
Contact your U.S. Senators and Representatives. Ask them to reform the outdated FCC exposure guidelines, which remain among the least protective in the world.
-
Support legislation calling for:
-
Independent health and environmental review of all RF-emitting infrastructure.
-
Restoration of local authority preempted by Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act.
-
Public accountability and ethical standards for new spectrum and satellite projects.
-
-
Reassert that public health and ecological stewardship must guide national technology policy—not industry expansion alone.
Why This Matters
Every action—from turning off a Wi-Fi router to speaking at a town meeting—builds collective momentum.
When citizens participate, question, and document, agencies and corporations are reminded that the public record belongs to the people.
Together, we can ensure that technology serves humanity—never the other way around.
