Board of Health Withdraws “Cease and Desist” Order on Cell Tower That’s Making Residents Sick after Verizon Gets Legal
Residents of Pittsfield, Massachusetts have been reporting significant and life-threatening health issues ever since Verizon activated a 4G cell tower in their neighborhood. 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 from exposure to cell tower radiation. City council members also asked state lawmakers to introduce legislation to better protect residents. On April 6, the BOH voted to send its “cease and desist” order to the company (see 1, 2). In May, Verizon took legal action against the city and last week, the BOH retracted its order.
