Why we should be sceptical of 5G rollout in the US

There has been a lot of talk about 5G radiation in the Us, for those who are not aware of it 5G means fifth-generation technology, and many phone companies have promised it would be up to 100 times faster than 4G and 2,000 times faster than 3G. 5G is being touted as a necessary step to the ‘internet of things’, which is system of interrelated, internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention.

In the US, most people believe that the Federal Communications Commission carefully assesses the health risks of these technologies before approving them. However, in testimony before Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the Federal Communications Commission admitted to having conducted no 5G safety studies. 5G radiofrequency radiation makes use of millimeter waves and microwave radiation. While 4G frequencies can reach 6 GHz, 5G exposes biological life to pulsed signals that range from 30 GHz to 100 GHz. The general public has never before been subjected to such high frequencies for extended periods of time.

5G leads to a massive increase in mandatory exposure to wireless radiation and will massively increase microwave and millimeter-wave radiation in our environment. More than 230 scientists from more than 40 countries have already expressed their concerns regarding the increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices before the additional 5G roll-out. EMF is short for electromagnetic fields and as for whether EMF is harmful to people, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization, admitted that EMF’s are “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. Scientists who reject 5G says health effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, and genetic damages.
