You’ve probably heard Verizon or AT&T commercials where they talk about the future with 5G with amazing download speed and all the other “benefits.”
Yet we don’t hear them mention anything about health issues concerning 5G since it’s frequency is much higher than previous generation cell services. So why?
5G or Fifth Generation like previous generations emit Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation, which is what makes them dangerous.
One of the most concerning things about 5G is that since it has shorter wave length it has less capability to penetrate objects, thus mini cell towers will have to be placed much closer, estimating a tower every 2–8 houses. Where 1G, 2G, 3G, & 4G operate between 1–5 gigahertz (GHz), 5G operates between 24–90 GHz. Here is the difference between 4G & 5G shown below in the diagram.
What makes RF Radiation dangerous?
How close it is to our bodies. RF Radiation dissipates with distance. Put another way, a low powered exposure near someone is more dangerous than a high powered exposure from far away.
I’ll let this excerpt from Radiation Health Risks sum it up:
“There have been hundreds of peer reviewed scientific studies done on RF Radiation linking it to health problems such as cancer, DNA damage (especially in fetuses within the 1st 100 days after conception), and sterility in men. And even the World Health Organization classified RF Radiation as a possible “carcinogenic”, meaning “cancer causing”, in 2011.”
