Another letter, signed by over 180 doctors and scientists and written last year, urged the European Union to take some key actions, including: 1. Temporarily halting the rollout of 5G networks until they can be properly tested and ensured safe for humans (especially more vulnerable demographics, like children) and the environment. 2. Informing people of the health risks associated with wireless communication and promoting safer use. 3. Creating an independent, unbiased agency of EMF scientists to draw up new standards for EMF exposure and monitor/study the effects of EMF as time goes on. 4. Keeping the wireless industry from lobbying for/ influencing/regulating the expansion of wireless technology. 5. Switching to favor wired digital communication over wireless. e fact that all of these guidelines aren't already in place shows the situation we are blindly walking into on a global scale. e idea that experts in the field are so troubled about the threat 5G poses while telecoms and the FCC are only concerned with getting the technology out as fast as possible does not bode well for the future health of our species and planet. If dozens of studies have already demonstrated that there is a link between EMF exposure (at the levels emitted by 4G networks) and negative health outcomes, what sort of effects will we see once we are immersed in much higher frequencies, coming from countless, nearby sources at all hours of the day? 5 G M I S C O N C E P T I O N S 5G is Safer than 4G Many people think 5G will be less harmful to our bodies than 4G. It has a shorter, higher frequency wavelength that cannot penetrate our skin as deeply and also cannot travel as far. However, 5G uses different technologies–and these will not replace 4G, but will instead build upon older networks. e coverage is beam-based in 5G, not cell based. is means that 5G uses Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) which expands beyond current networks by adding multiple antennas to the base station. e increase in antennas creates focused energy using digital or 3D beam forming that might increase your EMF exposure levels when using your device. In addition, the increased number of cell towers needed to support this network will definitely mean more exposure to our bodies. And with 5G frequencies still able to penetrate the skin, there is still the concern of cell damage (particularly through oxidative stress) to our biggest organ that can further affect different systems in our body. Dr. Martin Pall believes that 5G specifically will have massive impacts on the outer one to two inches of our bodies. While you might not think this is worse than 4G, 5G could activate VGCCs (Voltage-gated Calcium Channels) in your cells much more frequently. e shorter wavelength's rapid absorption into the body and its rapid pulsations that are more biologically active may create many different biological effects. I'm Using 5G Already Another misconception is that people think they are already using the 5G network, while they probably are not. AT&T created a 5GE network that seemed to be part of the 5G spectrum. But it actually stands for 5G Evolution, which is simply higher frequency 4G LTE bands marketed as 5GE bands. In reality, because of the high data capacity and bandwidth of 5G, every wireless device trying to access the 5G cellular network needs to have a 5G modem built-in–meaning most current phones and mobile devices are not capable of ever connecting to the 5G bands. And let's remember that 5G is a wireless cellular network, so your Wi-Fi router that comes from your cable company is a separate entity. With traditional wireless Internet, your router plugs into your Ethernet box in the wall of your house, which comes from your cable company via a long cable (wired). Your router than emits a wireless signal so you can connect to the Internet without having to wire in each device. While it does give a 5 GHz frequency signal, that is NOT the same as 5G (which uses a lot of frequencies that can go well above 5 GHz). However, there is a new service called 5G Fixed Wireless offered by service providers like Verizon. With fixed wireless, a fixed antenna is installed on your house, which can then give you access to the 5G network by connecting your router or device (like a smart TV) to a wireless cell tower. WiFi in general is a major source of EMF radiation, as a higher frequency band is sent around your house at a high power level. Outlook on 5G's Future Even if you think you are using 5G millimeter waves, you are probably not. Only high-band 5G, above 24 GHz, is what is introducing the new millimeter frequencies. However, those bands have not been widely deployed by any cell phone carrier yet, and most are sticking to the low-band
