Is it really worth it to have some extra speed and convenience with the risk of potential harm to humans, animals, and ecology. I especially wish to bring your attention to these articles by MBI which address these points. omm. No ��Yi•��U Ref.

Miller,l,* Margaret E. Sears,2 L. Lloyd Morgan, 3 Devra L. Davis,3 Lennart Hardell,4 Mark Oremus,5 and Colin .L Soskolne6,7 _ Abstract x, Radiation exposure has long been a concern for the public, policy makers, and health researchers_ Beginning with radar during World War 11, human exposure to radio-frequency radiation) (RFR) technologies has grown substantially over time. In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviewed the published literature and categorized RFR as a "possible" (Group 213) human carcinogen. A broad range of adverse human. health effects associated with RFR have been reported since the IARC review. In addition., three Large-scale carcinogenicity studies in rodents exposed to levels of RFR that mimic lifetime human exposures have shown significantly increased rates of Schwannomas and malignant gliomas, as well. as chromosomal DNA damage. Of particular concern are the effects of RFR exposure on the developing brain in. children. Compared with an adult .male, a cell phone held against the head of a child exposes deeper brain. structures to greater radiation doses per unit volume, and the young, thin. skulls bone marrow absorbs a roughly 10-fold higher local dose. Experimental and observational studies also suggest that men. who keep cell. phones in their trouser pockets have significantly lower sperm. counts and significantly impaired sperm motility and morphology, including mitochondrial DNA damage. Based on the accumulated evidence, we recommend that IARC re-evaluate its 2011, classification of the human carcinogenicity of RFR, and that WHO complete a systematic review of multiple other health effects such. as sperin damage. In. the interim, current knowledge provides justification. for governments, public health. authorities, and physicians/allied health professionals to warn. the population that having a cell. phone next to the body is harmful, and to support measures to reduce all exposures to RFR.. The Telecom industry's fifth generation (5G) wireless service will require the placement of many times more small antennae/cell. towers close to all. recipients of the service, because solid structures, rain and foliage block the associated millimeter wave RFR (72). Frequency bands for 5G are separated into two different frequency ranges. Frequency Range I (FR 1) includes sub-6 GHz frequency bands, some of which are bands traditionally used by previous standards, but has been extended to cover potential new spectrum offerings from 410 to 7,125 MHz. Frequency Range 2 (FR2) includes higher frequency bands from 24.25 to 52.6 GHz. Bands in FR2 are largely of millimeter wave length, these have a shorter range but a higher available bandwidth than bands in the FRI, 5G technology is being developed as it is also being deployed, with large arrays of directional, steerable, beam-forming antennae, operating at higher power than previous technologies. 5G is not stand-alone—it will operate and interface with other (including 3G and 4G) frequencies and modulations to enable diverse devices under continual development for the "Internet of things," driverless vehicles and more Novel 5G technology is being rolled out in. several densely populated cities, although. potential chronic health or environmental impacts have not been evaluated and are not being followed. Higher frequency (shorter wavelength) radiation associated with 5G does not penetrate the body as deeply as frequencies fram older technologies although its effects .may be systemic ( - , ). .The range and magnitude o,Potential impacts of 5G technologies are under-researched, although important biological outcomes have been reported with millimeter wavelength exposure. These include oxidative stress and altered gene expression, effects on skin and systemic effects such as on immunefunction (7 1 vivo studies reporting resonance with human sweat duets ( -3), acceleration of bacterial and viral replication, and other endpoints indicate the potentials for novel as well as more commonly recognized biological impacts from this range o�f`,fre uencies, and highlight the need for research before population-wide continuous exposures.... i https://www.scieiicedirect.cozy/sci.e .ce/,-rti.cl.e/ahs/psi/SOOl3935118300331? viaUDi.hzzh The an skin as a sub-THz receiver - Does 5G pose a danger to it or not? 3 3 Noe e gu __ en__ 1 , U __� . affiliations expand FSM I D: 29459303 DDI: 10.1016/�envres.2018.01.032 Abstract In the interaction of microwave radiation and human balms, the shin is traditionally considered as just an absorbing sponge stratum filled with water. In previous works, we showed that this view is flawed when we demonstrated that the called portion of the sweat duct in upper skin layer is regarded as a helical antenna in the sub#THz band. Experimentally we showed that the reflectance of the human skin in the sub-THz region depends on the intensity of perspiration, i.e. sweat duct's conductivity, and correlates with levels of human stress (physical, mental and emotional). Later on, we detected circular dichroism in the reflectance from the skin, a signature of the axial mode of a helical antenna. The full ramifications of ghat these findings represent in the human condition are still unclear. We also revealed correlation of electrocardiography (ECG) parameters to the sub-THz reflection coefficient of human skin. In a recent work, we developed a unique simulation tool of human skin, taping into account the skin multi-layer structure together with the helical segment of the sweat duct embedded in it. The presence of the ,sweat duct led to a high specific absorption rate (AR) of the skin in extremely high frequency band. In this paper, we summarize the physical evidence for this phenomenon and Consider its implication for the future exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum by wireless communication. Starting from July 2016 the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted new rules for wireless broadband operations above 24 GHz 5 G). This trend of exploitation is predicted to expand to higher frequencies in the sub-THz region. One roust consider the implications of human immersion in the electromagnetic noise, caused by devices working at the very same frequencies as those, to which the sweat duct as a helical antenna) is most attuned. We are raising a warning flag against the unrestricted use of sub-THz technologies for communication, before the passible consequences for public health are explored.
