Perhaps the growing number of scientists, doctors, and technologists—like hundreds of American and other major metro areas around the globe—are not ignoring the existing body of science about radio frequency radiation, they’re heeding it:
“The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RFR as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” in 2011. And last year, a $30 million study conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) found “clear evidence” that two years of exposure to cell phone RFR increased cancer in male rats and damaged DNA in rats and mice of both sexes. The Ramazzini Institute in Italy replicated the key finding of the NTP using a different carrier frequency and much weaker exposure to cell phone radiation over the life of the rats.” From: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe/
The United States Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program—however inconvenient it may be—is the official US study cited above: https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/topics/cellphones/index.html?utm_source=direct&utm_medium=prod&utm_campaign=ntpgolinks&utm_term=cellphone
This study was done on rats (since they couldn’t use humans), and on 2G/3G wavelengths—although 5G can incorporate not just those frequencies, but also much higher-frequency millimeter waves called “MMWs.” A few people may shrug because they believe everything causes cancer these days—but unlike refusing a cigarette, you can’t flip off the new small cell transmitter placed in your front yard. These can be placed within feet of your dwelling in Indiana without your knowledge or consent, and may come with a warning sticker—usually small and up high—to let you know that “Radio Frequency Fields at this site may exceed FCC rules for human exposure.”
The justification for placing these new small cell transmitters all over existing infrastructures like light posts—a process known as “densification”— is that the MMWs won’t travel/penetrate as far; however, at least one carrier’s marketing shows propagation over 3,000 feet and through commercial building walls. Another misconception is that because this part of the electromagnetic spectrum has been considered “non-ionizing” it doesn’t break DNA, therefore it isn’t leading to increases in cancer. Yet we just learned two months ago that “as a follow-up, NTP submitted a manuscript accepted for publication in October 2019 that evaluated DNA damage…[and] found that RFR exposure was associated with an increase in DNA damage. Specifically, they found RFR exposure was linked with significant increases in DNA damage in: the frontal cortex of the brain in male mice, the blood cells of female mice, and the hippocampus of male rats.” The FCC exposure guidelines were last updated last century—in 1996—when this new scientific research was not yet available.
Indiana can be a state that both advances technology and respects the role of science in the public interest, especially where human health is concerned. Most of our citizens aren’t wearing tin-foil—they’re still using their phones, but they’re also applauding decision-makers who consider new and compelling scientific health data as we receive it. Implying that they’re crazy or ignoring the science is not just unfair, it’s simply not the case.
“the sky is falling!” …. possibly carcinogenic, (possibly not?)
There is quite a bit of worry about this upgrade; even tech engineers have some reservations as to the safety of this new technology. Unfortunately, what do we tell people 5 or 10 years down the road when illnesses happen that are linked to this increase in radio frequency radiation? Say we are sorry or more typically deny that there is any problem even if they do happen. It doesn’t appear there are very many re-assurances other than saying “oh it will be alright” and keep advertising its obvious advantages.
