5G Coming to Fulham, Problems

I was initially excited to hear we were getting 5G, until I heard from a friend of mine in the states about worrying health implications of this new technology. Apparently a US senator has asked the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to prove it is save before it is rolled out, Due to the many emerging health implications being highlighted by concerned groups all over the US and some in the UK. Having had cancer myself we need to make sure this is safe before having this technology forced upon us!Join me in asking your MP about it.

The (1) number and (2) height of 5G masts are problems, particularly in cities. The wavelength of the electromagnetic (radio wave) emission is shorter (higher frequency)than previous mobile phone signals, and so does not travel around corners of buildings as well as 4G technology. So there will be many more 5G masts than 4G. Another way to address this problem is to have tall masts protruding well above the roofs. Then the proliferation of "antennae" is an eyesore. But the Gov is determined that 5G is coming everywhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56805844

The Council have just this week erected some Huawei 5G towers in Lancaster Court without any consultation with residents or providing any details about radiation omittance.
