There is a large amount of concern and uncertainty with operating 5G networks. Just wanted to share some
factual ideas with you.
• 5G radiation is non-ionizing, Ionizing radiation is powerful enough to break molecular bonds: essentially
snipping away at the cells of our bodies with billions of tiny scissors. X-rays and radioactive materials like
plutonium emit ionizing radiation. 5G is also radiating at low frequencies.
• The better thing is that 5G is directional. This means you'll get less radiation by 5G networks than by existing
4G networks when you're not using them. Everyone and everywhere gets flooded with radiation because 4G
doesn't point to places it's needed.
• Living or working next to a 5G tower is less risky that it would be if the technology worked the same way as
4G.
• You can be exposed to radiation from microwaves, which are used quite often.
• If you ever held a portable radio or boom box close to you, you received far more radiation of similar
frequencies than you do from a 5G device that sits in your pocket.
• "The available scientific evidence to date does not support adverse health effects in humans due to
exposures at or under the current limits," Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and
Radiological Health, wrote to the FCC.
• 5G have been used in the past for other things, including things like TV broadcasts and other data
transmissions. Considering there hasn't been an observed rise in cancer rates, it's clear that these radio waves
have no impact on human health
Mahalo for allowing me to share this information.
