Consequently, its good to be aware of this, as if you have to be close to a cell tower there are paints and window films that block RF energy you can use to protect your property (be sure to check frequency ranges). The wattage and spread spectrum of these cellular towers can be dangerous if too close even if not the really high frequencies of 5G, and according to this <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiercewireless.com\/tech\/5g-base-stations-use-a-lot-more-energy-than-4g-base-stations-says-mtn\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a> 5G towers use twice as much energy as 4G towers. Originally, they wanted 200 watt mini towers dispersed throughout neighborhoods, about every four houses or so. Also keep this in mind if you want to use a cellular extender as you don&#8217;t want to do this to yourself.

This was the third such case the researchers had documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to their case study, published in Annals of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, fifth generation (5G) wireless technology is being rolled out worldwide \u201cdespite no previous research on possible negative effects on human health and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, exposure to pulse-modulated microwave radiation has \u201cincreased dramatically on a world-wide basis.\u201d Microwave radiation are frequencies in the range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz within the radiofrequency (RF) spectrum. In city environments, frequencies used for 5G are currently in the 3.5 GHz band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies on possible health effects from exposure to 5G frequencies were all but non-existent until recently. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0891061822000989\">study published in October 2022<\/a>, animals were exposed to the 5G frequency of 3.5 GHz for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week for one month. The exposure caused oxidative stress and an increase of degenerated neurons in the hippocampus region of the brain, in addition to decreased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/neuroscience\/irisin\">irisin<\/a> levels, a hormone positively correlated with weight loss and healthy cognitive function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case study, the woman quickly developed a large array of debilitating symptoms after the installation. These symptoms included headache, dizziness and balance problems, cognitive dysfunction\u2014including memory, confusion and loss of focus\u2014as well as extreme fatigue, anxiety, cough, nose bleeding, and disorders of urinary function and the skin, including spontaneous bruising and skin eruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5G antenna was installed on the roof of a three-floor adjacent building and projected towards her apartment on the second floor. There was previously a 4G base station antenna at the same spot, but it was only after it was replaced by the 5G antenna that the woman quickly developed severe symptoms of microwave syndrome. The 4G antenna was removed shortly after the 5G deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman reported that when she relocated to another apartment not near a 5G base station, all her symptoms quickly resolved, only to return within 24 hours of her return to her own apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman\u2019s dog also showed signs of ill health after the 5G installation. Reportedly, the dog contracted diarrhea soon after the 5G was installed. This disappeared during the retreat to the other apartment with no 5G but returned when they moved back to her own apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the dog was reluctant to re-enter the apartment after being taken out for a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers point out that \u201c5G emits high repetitive pulses of microwave radiation\u201d with radiation spikes that are exponentially greater than those of previous generations, including 4G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers measured microwatts per square meter within one foot of the woman\u2019s living room window over the course of one minute, and found significant spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High radiation was also found in the bathroom, highest in the bathtub closest to the window. Considerably lower RF radiation was measured in the bedroom which was not directly in the line of transmission from the base station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite maxing out the commercial meter (Safe and Sound, Pro II) used by the researchers, the level of exposure was non-thermal and well below the guidelines recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation (ICNIRP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A History of Exposure Disorders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RF sickness or illness resulting from microwave exposure, was first <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26556835\/\">reported<\/a> in the 1960s and 1970s in East European countries. People most commonly suffered symptoms relating to neural, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International <a href=\"http:\/\/waocp.com\/journal\/index.php\/apjec\/article\/view\/308\">investigations<\/a> of exposed workers, including American military personnel, showed that microwave exposure at non-thermal levels caused symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, sleep disorders, anxiety, and problems with attention and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/www.magdahavas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Dodge_1969.pdf\">review<\/a> of multiple human and animal studies also concluded that \u201ca surprisingly wide variety of neurological and physiological reactions are to be expected\u201d because of exposure to non-thermal levels of RF\/microwave radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The condition has been variously termed radiofrequency sickness syndrome or microwave syndrome. The non-thermal effects\u2014effects unrelated to a build-up of heat\u2014depend primarily on the modulation and\/or pulsation of the signal as well as on the peak and average intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Problem with Current RF Safety Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are significant problems with how health effects from RF radiation are weighed, according to&nbsp;James Lin, a professor emeritus in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36706903\/\">an article<\/a> published in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/journal\/environmental-research\">Environmental Research in April, 2023<\/a>, Lin details how safety limits for exposure to RF radiation applied by most countries around the world are still based on acute heat or thermal effects that appear within a short time from exposure, thus failing to assess other effects of long-term exposure<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidelines for reference values based on heating are set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icnirp.org\/\">ICNIRP<\/a>), a self-appointed private organization based in Germany. ICNIRP has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortunejournals.com\/articles\/aspects-on-the-international-commission-on-nonionizing-radiation-protection-icnirp-2020-guidelines-on-radiofrequency-radiation.pdf\">positioned itself with industry support<\/a> to be the dominant international authority in the evaluation of scientific evidence of negative health effects from RF radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTheir guidelines are based on evaluations that have rejected all scientific evidence on non-thermal effects, despite growing evidence of a range of harmful effects well below the ICNIRP levels. That unscientific evaluation is in the interest of industry thereby facilitating the deployment of 5G and the wireless society,\u201d the researchers at ECRF wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36706903\/\">recent Environmental Research article<\/a>, Lin, a former long-time member of ICNIRP concluded, \u201cThere are substantial abnormalities in these putative health safety protection guidelines and standards. Some of the safety limits are irrelevant, debatable, and absent of scientific justification from the standpoint of safety and public health protection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, 258 EMF scientists from 58 countries <a href=\"https:\/\/emfscientist.org\/index.php\/emf-scientist-appeal\">appealed<\/a> to the United Nations to impose a moratorium on the roll-out of 5G until health effects could be properly assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the appeal, the scientists said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWireless communication technologies are rapidly becoming an integral part of every economic sector. But there is a rapidly growing body of scientific evidence of harm to people, plants, animals, and microbes caused by exposure to these technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is our opinion that adverse health consequences of chronic and involuntary exposure of people to non-ionizing electromagnetic field sources are being ignored by national and international health organizations despite our repeated inquiries as well as inquiries made by many other concerned scientists, medical doctors and advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This constitutes a clear violation of human rights, as defined by the United Nations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A good reason to still have a 4G only phone until we get more data (5G phone uses 20% more power than 4G phone), and it makes you wonder why they&#8217;re bending over backwards to get you a cheap or free 5G phone.
