Write to Access Board: Demand hearing on public building inaccessibility caused by Wi-Fi
Locked

From: Webmaster <[hidden email]> Please pass this on widely:
The Access Board establishes the best practices for accessibility that are then binding on governmental bodies and potentially the private sector. (It is not a health agency.) It is imperative that the Access Board take action to protect the rights of
Americans who experience functional impairment upon exposure to wireless technology. Access to public buildings is supposed to be guaranteed. WiFi makes buildings inaccessible for many people and should be banned from public buildings and spaces. Many people
are unable to access medical care due to the saturation of hospitals and medical centers with radiation from wireless technology. Since access to medical care is considered to be a basic human right, this is obviously a violation of the human rights of millions
of people who experience functional impairment when exposed to radiation from wireless devices.
Even ICNIRP recognizes the need to protect vulnerable populations by lowering general exposure levels: “Different groups in a population may have differences in their
ability to tolerate a particular NIR (non-ionizing radiation) exposure. For example, children, the elderly, and some chronically ill people might have a lower tolerance for one or more forms of NIR exposure than the rest of the population. Under such circumstances,
it may be useful or necessary to develop separate guideline levels for different groups within the general population, but it may be more effective to adjust the guidelines for the general population to include such groups.
” from ICNIRP Statement, General Approach to Protection Against Non-ionizing Radiation, (HEALTH PHYSICS 82(4):540‐548; 2002)

The Access Board has acknowledged the problem in the past (see
www.electricalpollution.com/documents/LetterfromAccessBoard2000.pdf), but has never taken real action because political pressure was applied shortly after this letter was written. It was also cited as an access barrier in the Access Board supported IEQ
report (https://www.access-board.gov/research/completed-research/indoor-environmental-quality/introduction). It is time that they take action
to make public buildings accessible to all again. The public hearing on WiFi blocking accessibility is a necessary first step.
Please take a moment to contact the Access Board to request that they hold a hearing on WiFi blocking accessibility in public buildings. A simple email to each contact listed below would be great fine.
Calls followed up by emails would be even better. Please cc or bcc me ([hidden email]) so that we can keep track of
the number of requests made. You can also enlist the aid of your Congress person. Congress people are supposed to advocate with federal agencies on behalf of constituents.
Your Congress person can and should contact the Access Board on your behalf requesting a public hearing on WiFi causing public buildings to be inaccessible.
You can find your Congress person here:
