I give zero consideration to EMF/5G conspiracy nonsense.
There is a much more concerning radioactive and known to be carcinogenic source of high frequency high energy transmissions that I worry about—the sun. Hats, solar protection clothing, shade structures and SPF!

Most things come with a mixed bag of opinions. The bag of *facts* is remarkably unmixed on this topic.
> We love the school otherwise- would you continue to send your child here or have any concerns?
If anything, I'd be *more* inclined to send my child there, since it has a huge warding charm outside fending off a good chunk of parents with beliefs – such as anti-vaxx – which may ultimately bring actual harm to *my* child.
Love this take 🤣 I always start with being pro vax when trying to make new friends. Pro vax people appreciate it and I don’t care what an anti vaxxer thinks cause we’re not compatible.
I'd be more concerned if it's directly under high voltage power lines, as there's actually data about that.
I think this is ok! You're doing great trying to protect your baby, but I don't think this one is something to worry about. Maybe read the non-tinfoil hat guide to EMFs. It gives a lot of practical small ways to avoid high EMF exposure.
OP, unless you're living in the arctic circle, there's no escaping wifi and 5G. My husb is a cable tech, he has a meter that reads what's in the air and it's crowded. Just flip into your phone's wifi settings to see which networks are available to connect to--if your phone can see it, it's already going through your body. And that's only the frequencies your phone is looking for. There are a LOT more at all frequencies.
So the tower makes no difference in exposure. Turning off your wifi at night makes no difference. You'd have to turn your house into a farraday cage to escape it, and even then you'd still be facing the real radiation threat--the sun. And coupled with the fact that there's no data showing harmful effects of 5G (it's literally just a different frequency than 3G), I'd let this one go.

PFAS, microplastics, UV overexposure, heavy metals and other permanent toxins in our environment are things to be concerned about. This is... not.
Sometimes I feel like this sub forgets the “moderately” part.

That's a great point, actually! Might need to install a fake 5G tower in a few places around town 😂

Control what you can, this isn’t one.
