5G radiation

5G radiation

As of 2020, carriers are building nationwide coverage, and by 2023, coverage is expected to be ubiquitous in the U.S. China is also racing towards nationwide 5G access. In addition, satellite-based Internet services are planning to deploy 5G frequencies (see satellite Internet).

High Frequencies May Be Very Harmful
Ever since AM and FM radio was followed by TV and satellite transmission, the massive quantity of electromagnetic radiation that passes through our bodies every day has been a source of concern. What makes 5G different is its high frequencies, which are much higher than 4G LTE or Wi-Fi. Hardly any studies have been done on the effects of 5G on humans, and many people are extremely worried that we are heading toward a health calamity. Proponents claim that although higher frequencies may be used, their power levels are so low that they cannot harm humans. Time will tell. See electromagnetic hypersensitivity, 5G frequency bands and millimeter wave.


People Are Already Anxious
Over the course of seven days at the end of August 2019, this 5G summit was hosted online with more than 30 speakers. Topics included "dangers to children's health," "biological effects of 5G," "clear evidence of cancer" and "why telecoms have no plans to test the health effects of 5G."

Broads inaccurate understanding 5G frequencies is why the article is fundamentally flawed as his logic is based on the premise that the skin is a barrier to 5G radiation. The skin absorbs this radiation.
Despite a wave of appeals and petitions from influential scientific bodies from around the world over the potentially serious health effects of 5G radiation, the technology has already been installed for commercial use in various parts of the world as the US scrambles to catch up with Asia in the race, and Europe has its eyes set on the bronze medal.
