ProPublica: How the FCC Shields Cellphone Companies From Safety Concerns
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., disagreed. Responding to a pair of lawsuits filed by the Environmental Health Trust and other activist groups, the court ruled in August 2021 that the FCC had failed to meet “even the low threshold of reasoned analysis” in finding that its limits “adequately protect against the harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation unrelated to cancer.”
ProPublica: Ericsson Partnered With Girl Scouts to Push 5G Technology — ProPublica
The Environmental Health Trust, a …nonprofit which first spotted the Ericsson program, recently sent a letter of protest to the Girl Scouts’ national office, saying the patch materials “misleadingly state that 5G networks and cellphones are safe,” and urging their removal from all Girl Scout websites. The ten signers included “former Girl Scouts and parents of Scouts,” the chair of the obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences department at Yale’s medical school, the former president of Microsoft Canada and a Swedish scientist who has conducted influential epidemiological studies on cellphone radiation.

“When Scarato was asked about how far apart towers should be to reduce risk, she referred to the bill under review in New Hampshire that recommends a distance of 1,500 feet. “The problem here is that no federal agency is doing these studies on the least harmful distances or measuring the levels of radiation caused by 5G technology.”
