Petition Prohibit 5G Masts near Schools and Nurseries
We call on the Government to amend legislation in order to outlaw the installation of 5G masts close to schools and nurseries, to protect the health of infants and children.
More details
Children are our future, and yet we are risking their health, by exposing them to radiofrequency radiation (RFR).
RFR is classified by the WHO's cancer agency (IARC) as 'possibly carcinogenic to humans'. A literature review by the European Parliamentary Research Service (see 'Health Impact of 5G') went further, finding that certain RFR frequencies are probably carcinogenic to humans.
Here is a review of the possible health effects of 5G:

Meanwhile, 5G masts are being allowed close to schools and even nurseries. I believe that placing 5G masts by schools is unnecessary, potentially harmful, and it must stop.
