In August 2021, a federal court ruled in favor of organizations and petitioners that sued the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for NOT adequately protecting Americans from wireless radiation exposure from cell towers (see 1, 2) and other sources.  Despite the ruling, the FCC (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) as well as other government and state agencies and committees (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) continue to promote and fund the deployment and densification of both 5G and 4G cell towers and other infrastructure.  Not good, right?

Residents of Pittsfield, Massachusetts have been reporting significant as well as life-threatening health issues ever since a Verizon 4G cell tower was activated near their homes.  In October 2021, the Board of Health asked Verizon to remove the tower but the company refused.  In February, the BOH voted unanimously to issue the company a "Cease and Desist" Order.  Between February and April, several health experts provided supporting testimony to validate residents' complaints (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and to ask the state to better protect residents.  City council members also asked state lawmakers to introduce legislation to better protect residents.  On April 6, the BOH voted to send the order to the company (see 1, 2).   Now Verizon has taken legal action against the city.
