Many are afraid of 5G. Nothing new. Each new technology evokes a different reaction. The steam train succeeded by opponents who thought that the human body could not tolerate 50 km per hour of rapid movement. Many protested in exchange for the current electricity.
On the other hand, there are those who believe in big conspiracy theories involving aliens, government conspiracies, and Mosad. On the other hand, some people say that 5G will leave you inactive and cause a brain tumor.
What is the truth of all of this?
It is known that there are certain risks associated with radio waves, which is why certain limits have been established. Generally, any small fraction of a signal that can have an effect is limited. And in addition, all devices, whether they are primary stations or mobile phones, operate at a much lower voltage than the limits specified.
This was not invented because of extreme radiation concerns, but because the small amount of electricity used by the cellphone, his battery would last longer. There is an exception: a reliable test recently revealed that the iPhone 11 Pro used more than double the power. But even that should not bother us.
Many 5G fears are the fact that people are not very good at risk assessment. When you go on vacation, there is a higher risk of a car accident at the airport than a plane crash, and we still love flying.
That is because we have to reduce the risk of something we know and increase it when it's not there.
But with him 5GThere seems to be a lot more concern than any other new technology, so it's worth understanding better and its risks.
What does science say about 5G?
There are over 24,000 reports on the effects of radio waves. Critics will say: "Why are there so many if not dangerous?", While those in good standing will say: "All these reports and there is no irrefutable evidence." You can probably decide where these reports are by reading the first paragraph. This text is an example of this.
But we do not have this view while ignoring facts. But we do have hours after learning to talk and talk with experts, not only in the field of radiation, but also in biology and epidemiology.
What we have learned is that all of this is very complicated. If we look at it more generally, you will see that there has been a decline in the number of insects and a decrease in male fertility, which is associated with the increase in the use of mobile technology.
But the fact that there is a correlation does not mean that there is a causal relationship, and if we cannot separate the use of radiation and its effect, we cannot assume that there is no other cause. Sure, we can put cells in Petri's container, expose them to radio waves and see what happens. But this ignores the whole system and the fact that in biological systems with all kinds of machines that have emerged to overcome the negative effects, what's happening in Petri's bowl does not reflect the honesty that is happening in the real world.
What needs to be done is to follow a group of radio exposed people and a second group (with similar lifestyles), and prepare a list of differences in the health of both groups.
This is called cohort research and there are some that are currently under construction, although today it is not possible to find people who do not use phones. This means that there is no governing body and that is the subject of much investigation. An observational investigation of this kind is a minefield full of unknowns. We can see how something happens, but it's impossible to find out why, or how often.
Is 5G dangerous?
Unfortunately, both sides of the debate choose the details that interest them to reinforce their arguments. So, while the 5G industry will say that all the frequencies used are known, opponents will say that not all necessary tests have been done on 5G at those frequencies. And both arguments are accurate. The industry divides the 5G radios used into a low band, medium band and high band. That's less than 1 GHz, between 1 to 6 GHz and above 6 GHz (frequency between 20 and 30 GHz).
Although these techniques used to incorporate 5G (known as "New Radio") have not been widely tested in humans and animals, we know a lot about their effects.
The lower band has been the most widely used mobile phone since the 1980s. And we reckon there are more people with a cell phone than people with teeth, if it was a danger we would have known now.
The central band is what we get from many signals on mobile networks from 3G onwards. This has been used for decades and is the type of frequency that Wi-Fi uses. 5G uses it at very low power.
The upper band is also known as the millimeter wave (millimeter wave) and that is what the protests focus on. There is already a lot of information at these high frequencies because it is the one used to communicate the available points, for example, to connect a television connection to a set, to bring the Internet to rural areas and to house satellite communications
These cases often use signal-to-noise receptacles from one point to another, so that human exposure at these times is minimal. We do not have the same extinction information as other waves. What we do know is that these kicks have never been made. All these issues concerning their effects on birds and insects have no connection.
We also know that these symptoms are not powerful. They can penetrate crystals and cannot penetrate walls. They also have difficulty when they come in contact with the skin, and that is because water is a good protector. Thus the connection between the millimeter waves and the brain muscles is questionable.
Will 5G kill you? If you meet someone who says yes, they are wrong. Not at current levels. There is no evidence. Can it be said that they are harmful to health? Not at current levels. Can we guarantee they are 100% safe? Not unquestionably because there may be some that we do not yet know.
Looking now at the issue of asbestos or tobacco, we can see that there were indications that they were not safe. On the other hand, there is no indication that it is 5G.
So if you've just installed a 5G antenna near your home, or are you thinking buy a portable 5G, with a little luck you will have redirected the risks you have and the wrong ones as their opponents confirm.
