In the USA, popular cell phones also emit radiation exceeding US law but no action has been taken. In addition, Montgomery County is pushing new 5G cell towers forward despite scientists calling for precaution. Several cities have banned 5G. Countries have banned cell phones and Wi-Fi in classrooms.
