Insurance exemptions for harm from EMF

The wireless carriers’ insurance policies for their customers list, among their many exclusions, harm or damage caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF).  They both define “pollutants” to include EMF, by any name.

Verizon and ATT’s own mobile device insurance does not include coverage for emission of Pollutants which they clearly define Wireless Radiation by all its names (EMF, electromagnetic fields, microwaves, non-ionizing radiation) as a pollutant actually in greater detail than any of the other pollutants.  See direct quotes from their current insurance as of 10-14-18.  See attached for copies of their insurance plans.
