In a 2016 le er to the FCC, Dr. Yael Stein of the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, who has studied 5G MMW technology and its interac on with the human body, writes: "Computer simula ons have demonstrated that sweat glands concentrate sub-terahertz waves in human skin. Humans could sense these waves as heat. The use of sub-terahertz (millimeter wave) communica ons technology (cellphones, Wi-Fi, antennas) could cause humans to percept physical pain via nociceptors. Poten ally, if 5G Wi-Fi is spread in the public domain we may expect more of the health effects currently seen with RF/microwave frequencies including many more cases of hypersensi vity (EHS), as well as many new complaints of physical pain and a yet unknown variety of neurologic disturbances. It will be possible to show a causal rela onship between 5G technology and these specific health effects. The affected individuals may be eligible for compensa on… Respected members of the FCC and U.S. Senate Commi ees, please protect Public Health and vote against exposure of the public to harmful 5G technology." In 2015, 247 scien sts engaged in the study of biological and health effects of nonionizing EMFs across the world signed an interna onal appeal to the United Na ons, calling for protec on from nonionizing EMF exposure due to evidence of health effects even at low levels. Two years later, in 2017, more than 180 doctors and scien sts from 35 countries signed a pe on to enact a moratorium on the rollout of 5G due to the poten al risks to wildlife and human health. 20 Facts About 5G 1. 5G coverage requires "small cell" antennas to be placed in neighborhoods everywhere. 2. Millions of small cells must be built into people's front yards. 3. The radiation from 5G small cells is not minor, and will increase EMF radiation near homes, causing aesthetic deterioration of the environment in addition to health risks. 4. 5G will not replace current wireless technology but add to it, increasing exposure exponentially. 5. Community authority is being overruled at every level of government in the name of boosting cellphone coverage and internet speeds. 6. Cellphone companies have confirmed that 5G small cells will work at a distance of 3,000 feet and do not need to be placed every 100 feet, necessitating them being placed near homes. 7. Scientists worldwide are calling for a halt to the rollout of 5G. 8. Cumulative daily radiation exposure is associated with serious health effects, including cancer, altered brain development in children and reproductive damage in men. Indeed, thousands of studies showing biological effects from low-intensity EMF, including over 1,800 referenced in the report's conclusion, were summarized in the BioInitiative Report (2007 and 2012), demonstrating immune system effects, neurological effects, cognitive effects and much more. Another important study, funded by the U.S. government, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2011. Using a positron emission tomography or PET scan capable of detecting alterations in glucose, the researchers determined that cellphone radiation triggers your brain cells to metabolize glucose at an increased rate. Glucose metabolism equates to cell activation, so the findings indicate that radiation from your cellphone has a well-defined measureable. 9. Multiple papers have concluded wireless radiation is a human carcinogen; the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified cellphones as a Group 2B "possible carcinogen" in 2011, and two recent studies (one by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and one by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy) confirm its carcinogenic potential. The NTP study found heart tumors (malignant schwannomas) in male rats, "similar to acoustic neuromas, a benign tumor in people involving the nerve that connects the ear to the brain, which some studies have linked to cellphone use." 10. According to experts, 5G small cell wireless streaming bills do not make financial sense. 11. Antennas near homes also decrease property values. 12. Microwave antennas in front yards pose several worker and public safety hazards. 13. Wireless companies warn investors of risks, but do not inform people living near cellphone towers. 14. Antennas near homes will cause a deterioration of sleep for the occupants, resulting in decreased performance and health. 15. Cellphone radiation has been shown to have an adverse impact on birds, bees, trees and plants. 16. Many U.S. cities and entire countries are voting to halt 5G. 17. The Federal Communications Commission does not monitor radiation exposures from cell installations and many cell towers already violate radiation limits. 18. The International Association of Firefighters officially oppose cell towers on fire stations, and have done so since 2004, after research showed firefighters with antennas on their stations suffered neurological damage, including memory problems, intermittent confusion and feelings of weakness. 19.
