Unsplash The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), charged with protecting Americans from the potential radiation dangers posed by wireless transmitters and cell phones, has repeatedly sided with the telecommunications industry in denying the possibility of virtually any human harm. The standards were established in 1996 and have not been updated. In 2018, a massive nearly two-decade study by the National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, found “clear evidence” that cell phone radiation caused cancer in laboratory animals. However, federal law and FCC rules are so aligned with the industry that state and local governments are essentially prohibited from taking steps to block cell towers to protect the health of their citizens, even when the companies can sue any government that tries to take such action. .
5G operations require about 800,000 new base stations, including both towers and densely spaced “small cell” transmitters mounted on rooftops and street poles. The current number of emitters will almost triple, and many of them will be placed near houses and apartments.
The health complaints started coming in just weeks after a new cell phone tower went live in August 2020 in Pittsfield, a former factory town in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. Seventeen residents reported headaches, dizziness, insomnia or confusion. A few children had to sleep with “puke buckets” next to their beds.
Like many people, Bobbie Orsi had never paid much attention to questions about the health effects of cell phone technology. He mostly saw it as a problem that had long since been solved. But after becoming president of the Pittsfield Board of Health as the complaints surfaced, Orsi, a 66-year-old registered nurse who had spent much of her career in public health, decided to educate herself. He reviewed a stack of research studies. Watched webinars. He grilled a dozen scientists and doctors.
Over several months, Orsi went from curious, to concerned, to convinced, first, that radio frequency emissions from Verizon’s 115-foot 4G tower were to blame for the problems in Pittsfield, and second, that growing evidence of cell phone damage, everything. from effects on fertility and fetal development to associations with cancer, has been downplayed in the United States.
Orsi and the Pittsfield board decided to try to do something about the Verizon tower. They quickly discovered they weren’t going to get help from federal regulators. The Federal Communications Commission, charged with protecting Americans from the potential radiation dangers posed by wireless transmitters and cell phones, has repeatedly sided with the telecommunications industry in denying the possibility of virtually any human damage
Worse, from Orsi’s perspective, federal law and FCC rules are so aligned with the industry that state and local governments can’t take steps to block cell towers to protect the health of their citizens , even when companies have the explicit power to sue any government that tries to do so. It turned out that Verizon, in these matters, has more legal rights than the people of Pittsfield.
Still, Orsi’s lawyers and his colleagues thought they saw a long-term legal opening: They would argue that the FCC’s exclusive oversight role applied only to approving sky tower sites cell phones, not to the health problems caused after building one and its transmitters on. . In April 2022, the Pittsfield Board of Health issued an emergency cease-and-desist order ordering Verizon to shut down the tower as a “public nuisance” and “cause of ill health” that “makes residential fit for human habitation”. (Some families had abandoned their homes.) The order was the first of its kind in the country. It was, Orsi said, “a bold move, perhaps naively bold.
