Electric Sense May 12, 2017
The USA is currently leading the way on 5G. At the June 2016 press
conference where the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) head Tom
Wheeler announced the opening up of low, mid and high spectrum’s. There
was no mention of health effects whatsoever. But the dangers are real.
Thousands
of studies link low-level wireless radio frequency radiation exposures
to a long list of adverse biological effects, including:
- DNA single and double strand breaks
- oxidative damage
- disruption of cell metabolism
- increased blood brain barrier permeability
- melatonin reduction
- disruption to brain glucose metabolism
- generation of stress proteins
Let’s not also forget that in 2011 the World Health Organization (WHO) classified radio frequency radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen.
More recently the $25 million National Toxicology Program concluded
that radio frequency radiation of the type currently used by cell phones
can cause cancer.
But where does 5G fit into all this? Given that 5G is set to utilize
frequencies above and below existing frequency bands 5G sits in the
middle of all this. But the tendency (it varies from country to country)
is for 5G to utilize the higher frequency bands. Which brings it’s own
particular concerns.
