What the petition asks
We call on the Government to introduce legislation to outlaw the installation of 5G masts, not just around towns and cities but more importantly, around schools and nurseries. Children are our future, and yet I believe we are risking their health by exposing them to radiofrequency radiation (RFR).
RFR has been classified by the WHO's cancer agency (IARC) as possibly carcinogenic to humans. A literature review by the European Parliamentary Research Service went further, finding that certain RFR frequencies are probably carcinogenic to humans.
