ound 2 meter and went out and found the small cell located on a telephone pole at the end of street. The readi
- Electromagnetic sensitivity:
d the government while harming us. I am sensitive to EMF and would have had to move if they had installed next to me
- Exposure limits & oversight:
to me. The fact that the residents had no warning and were not given any opportunity to speak out is shameful
I live in a small Canadian town that did not have 5G. Suddenly the 5G icon appeared on my work issued phone and I knew that it had been activated here without any warning or consultations. I grabbed my Safe and Sound 2 meter and went out and found the small cell located on a telephone pole at the end of street. The readings on my meter were in the "Extreme" range which means you should immediately leave the area. My house is about 150 ft from the small cell which is located between 2 residential homes, one of which has young children.
I took a picture of it and sent it to my city council office.
They didn't even know what it was or who it belonged to. After a 2 week investigation, they reported back that it was the property of a local internet provider Rogers Communications.
Next, a neighbour contacted me to ask about a truck with a 50 foot antenna that was parked in front of my house while I was at work. This turned out to be a test being run by the Canadian Federal Government Communications Research Centre to "check levels". My house is about 150 ft from the small cell which is located between 2 residential homes, one of which has young children.
The fact that the residents and city councilman were not even made aware that these small cells were being installed is outrageous. He said it's because telecommunications are under the Federal Government's responsibility.
One of the homes beside it is now up for sale and the 2 homes beside
That have already sold. It does seem odd that 3 homes in a row would all sell at the same time but now I'm speculating.
I do everything I can to protect myself from the well known health hazards of EMF. That could have been installed outside me bedroom window and I would have had no say. This is deplorable! This technology and infrastructure is very dangerous and does not benefit those who have to live in its vicinity. It benefits corporations and the government while harming us. I am sensitive to EMF and would have had to move if they had installed next to me.
The fact that the residents had no warning and were not given any opportunity to speak out is shameful government overreach especially when we know that safe levels of exposure have not even been established or properly tested for health. Profit over people is unacceptable and needs to be stopped.
