What is 5G and why is everyone so worried?
One of the reasons people are so worried about 5G, is that the new network can support frequencies of up to 300 GHz, although the various countries where it’s being rolled out will cap the frequencies differently. These higher frequencies are called ‘millimetre wavelengths’, because they are between 1 and 10 millimetres in width.
What is it about 5G cell towers that make them dangerous?
Many readers of this website ask us what is it about 5G cell towers that make them more dangerous than 2G, 3G or 4G cell towers. They know that all of them emit the carcinogenic Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation. But they hear that 5G is supposed to be so much more dangerous, and they want to know the actual facts.
What is the difference between 4G and 5G?
The 5G waves are shorter than 4G waves. The 5G waves don’t travel as far that is why we need more 5G antennas to transmit the signal to end-users. You will not be able to move away from these 5G antennas.
Why do we need more 5G antennas?
The 5G waves don’t travel as far that is why we need more 5G antennas to transmit the signal to end-users. You will not be able to move away from these 5G antennas. Currently, when you see a 4G antenna, you’re able to move away, move to another location. 4G antennas can be placed far away from residential areas.
Is 5G wireless technology harmful to the environment?
The ubiquitous mmWave will likely harm the plants, plants, birds, and insects of different species leading to an interruption in the ecosystem. The effects of 5G wireless technology can be adverse to human health and the future environment.
What are the effects of 5G on plants?
When looking into the effects of the 5G wireless network on plants’ health, the millimeter waves are particularly suspected to be absorbed by the rain and plants. The process could leave the food not safe to consume. The irradiated water from rain could ruin the ecosystem.
How does 5G affect animals?
There’s limited research on how 5G specifically affects animals. Most research has involved mice or rats. For example, a 2019 animal study found that EMFs from mobile phones are linked to DNA damage in mice and rats. Another 2016 animal study found that EMFs of any frequencies can harm the nervous system.
