Editor,
As a cancer biologist and former postdoctoral fellow trained by a Nobel Laureate at the UCSF Medical Center, I found the “Don’t ‘Cell Out’ San Mateo” guest perspective by Irena Mavridis to be most compelling.

Editor,
As a cancer biologist and former postdoctoral fellow trained by a Nobel Laureate at the UCSF Medical Center, I found the “Don’t ‘Cell Out’ San Mateo” guest perspective by Irena Mavridis to be most compelling.
According to 5Gappeal.eu, a team of 436 scientists and doctors in Europe submitted a “5G Appeal” to the European Commission, urgently calling for the EU to halt the roll out of 5G due to serious potential health effects from this technology. The scientists state “5G will substantially increase exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on top of the 4G, Wi-Fi for telecommunications already in place. RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment.”
The Appeal further states “all these together can cause a substantial increase in the total, long term RF-EMF exposure to all citizens.” The scientists elaborate that “numerous recent scientific publications have shown EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, reproductive system changes, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders.” Children are at greater risk than adults because their skulls are thinner and their brain tissue absorbs more radiation. From this information, it is clear that these radiation emitting antennas absolutely do not belong in our residential areas, near or in front of our homes.
We the residents of San Mateo, elect and pay city officials to protect our health and safety, NOT to accommodate the for-profit wireless industry.

Both great articles. As one who is EMF sensitive, and studied the subject for decades, I can attest that there have been thousands of investigations, harmed people and lawsuits, worldwide for at least 50 years. It is hard to believe that our city officials have not stopped these cell tower installations long ago, instead of approving them. These towers are not only undesired, but not necessary, as explained in the LTE's.
Why should city residents have to pay legal fees to fight the city that we live in, and voted for its officials whose decisions harm us? Outrageous!
Is the city just kicking the can down the road, like they did on the storm water issue, thereby causing people being harmed, massive expense and lawsuits and the taxpayers having to bail out the city.? The lawsuits will come, guaranteed! If this is not stopped!
"Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it. Virtue is doing it." Thomas Jefferson
We ask that any towers previously approved be rescinded and any future installations be stopped.
