Moraga residents are expected to turn out and demand the city do more to protect people from cell phone radiation exposure.<\/p>\n<p>It is a fight that\u2019s been going on across the country and has been particularly heated in the East Bay. Ellie Marks has been outspoken against 5G and cell phone companies for 11 years now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe may not see the full ramifications of this for 20-30 years. How can we just fly blindly into this? It doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d Marks said.<\/p>\n<p>Her fight began when her husband developed a brain tumor on the right side of his head back in 2008. She says he was a heavy cell phone user since 1986.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe used it all the time; held it right to his right ear and the tumor developed right where he held the phone,\u201d Marks said.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately her husband survived, but she says it was her wake-up call. Ever since then, she\u2019s been touring the country, organizing against the spread of cell phone towers and raising awareness about increased exposure to radio frequency.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC and cell phone companies all maintain RF exposure we receive from cell phones is well within safe levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FCC is lying to the general public,\u201d Marks countered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far every major study concludes it [5G] is not having a harmful impact,\u201d CNET Editor at Large Ian Sherr said.<\/p>\n<p>Sherr has been following the launch of 5G and the race to beat China to a full 5G launch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c5G is not just another \u2018G.\u2019 It\u2019s supposed to be faster, more reliable and possibly the way the internet runs will change because of this technology,\u201d Sherr said.<\/p>\n<p>For most consumers, the excitement of 5G is about speed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe promise of 5G is that it will be a lot lot faster, so think of being able to download a movie in seconds rather than waiting a lot longer,\u201d Sherr said.<\/p>\n<p>Many local governments will say their hands are tied when it comes to regulating cell phone towers. The health and safety aspect of these towers is regulated by the state and federal government.<\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes the only thing local governments can do is deny permitting if the towers are in the public right of way, but even in cases where that has happened, cell phone companies have threatened to sue.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2019\/04\/10\/plan-5g-cell-phone-towers-health-concern-moraga\/\">https:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2019\/04\/10\/plan-5g-cell-phone-towers-health-concern-moraga\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plan For 5G Cell Phone Towers Raises Health Concerns In Moraga<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=120683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120683\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=120683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=120683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=120683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
