    Complaints and concerns about 5G deployment in New York City neighborhoods have been ongoing since 2018 when residents first reported they were getting sick (and so were their pets) after it was activated. As deployment has increased, so has antagonism to it (see 1, 2, 3). Legislators and residents don’t want towers where there is no wireless service gap.

    Thanks to Environmental Health Trust for continuing to update efforts to limit or stop 5G expansion in the Big Apple.

    Theodora  Scarato, executive director of Environmental Health Trust has presented information as well as several others to some of the Community Boards regarding the scientific research and the lack of up to date regulations for the radiation exposure.

    January 16, 2023 Letter on 5G Poles from New York Manhattan Borough President to Matthew C. Fraser Chief Technology Officer Office of Technology & Innovation of The NYC Office of Technology & Innovation

    “…many residents have reported serious concerns about the site selection, outreach, and community engagement process. Residents have reported not adequately being informed about the placement of 5G towers in their neighborhoods, and many have questioned specific site selections and the fundamental need for the new towers taking up vital public space. We must better communicate with the local community, and better educate New Yorkers about these installations.”
