Cell Towers & Fires

A jam-packed PDF with vital, credible, and strategic info that is both footnoted and linked regarding telecom fires and ratepayers already having paid for future-proof fiber. A great resource to share -- especially with elected officials and agencies. 

Emailing a .pdf and/or sharing the .pdf online (full screen) during a Zoom will generate maximum visual and lobbying impact. When printing as a handout, orient the layout to landscape/horizontal.

Thanks to Susan Foster and eyemind concepts; “Works of Arc” for this great resource.

T-Mobil Deutsche Telekom commissioned study by the Ecolog-Institute, April 2000, “Mobile Telecommunications and Health Review of the Current Scientific Research in View of Precautionary Health Protection.”


This study in 2000 commissioned by one of the major telecom carriers found potential links to cancer, leukemia, neurological disorders and cognitive impairment, with special caution for children and an acknowledgement of those already disabled from the radiation.



Swisscom AG patent filed 2003 “When … human blood cells are irradiatead with electromagnetic fields, clear damages to hereditary material has been demonstrated and there have been indications of an increased cancer risk … These findings indicate that the genotoxic effect of electromagnetic radiation is elicited via a non-thermal pathway.”
