Swisscom is planning to build a 5G antenna on Schulstrasse in Sins. The planning application was open to the public until November 12. Four objections and one collective objection have now been received. Here's what happens next.

Anyone living within 703.79 meters of the antenna is entitled to lodge an objection. Bernet requested a map from the municipality so that he could mark all properties, i.e. residents entitled to object. He recently told the Anzeiger Oberfreiamt newspaper. He himself lives in the Bachtalmühle and therefore only 150 meters away from the planned antenna.

He was out and about every day with the map and signature forms and spoke to the people concerned. “Some of these people didn't even know that a 5G antenna was being planned,” Bernet told the ‘Anzeiger Oberfreiamt’ newspaper. He noticed that there was a great willingness to sign.

Controlled exposure to the 5G radiation spectrum has resulted in changes to the brain tissue of laboratory rats, according to a team of scientists from Tomsk State University (TSU) in Russia.

Ever since the introduction of 5G cellphone infrastructure, there have been concerns about its potential health effects. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified the 5G radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) as a “possible” human carcinogen, but no conclusive research has emerged either way.

“We decided to find out what the effect of non-ionizing radiation is on rodents of different ages,” Natalia Krivova, lead researcher at the TSU’s Biology and Biophysics Research Institute, said in a statement this week.

France’s Bold Actions on Wireless Radiation

France has set a global example in protecting public health by proactively addressing the risks of wireless radiation, particularly for children. With policies ranging from banning Wi-Fi in nursery schools to mandating radiation exposure labels on cell phones, France’s comprehensive approach prioritizes health over industry interests. In contrast, the United States lags behind, hindered by outdated Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines and regulatory capture.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), offers a unique opportunity to champion similar reforms in the U.S. By leveraging his advocacy for transparency and safety, Kennedy can lead a transformative effort to safeguard Americans from the health risks of wireless radiation.

The future of wireless technology is on the horizon, promising incredibly high speeds and unprecedented connectivity. But as we edge closer to the 6G era, a new concern has emerged: the potential health risks of terahertz radiation.

Terahertz waves, a type of electromagnetic radiation, are the backbone of 6G technology.

While they promise advancements, there’s growing worry about their impact on human health, particularly male reproductive health.

A recent study by Chinese military scientists from the Army Medical University has revealed potential dangers, reported the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

 
Even low levels of radiation dangerous

Terahertz radiation, even at relatively low levels, can pose a significant risk to male reproductive health.

United States: Every Attorney General in every state v the FCC

The National Call for Safe Technology is a rallying cry for better wireless device safety testing, up-to-date WiFi exposure guidelines, homeowner rights to refuse "smart" meters, ADA accommodations for individuals impacted by electromagnetic sensitivity, and wired as the default internet connection. https://thenationalcall.org/

COLUMN: Every Attorney General in every state v the FCC

Has the FCC ignored the possible harm wireless poses to the public ?

An OPINION By Frederick Sinclair, November 10, 2024

On September 18th 2024 a national collaboration of activist organizations, officials and citizens, who have organized as the National Call for Safe Technology, (The Call) sent a request to every Attorney General (AG) in every state of the Union, requesting their assistance in protecting residents in their states and the nation from an identified harm. A primary mission of a state AG is to investigate, prevent and remedy unlawful actions and harm inflicted on the public under their protection. The Call, in their 11 page letter, pinpoints how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has failed to comply with a 2021 federal court remand order which underscores that the FCC has a statutory duty to regulate wireless exposure in order to protect public health. The FCC is failing in performing their duty and knowingly continues to allow exposures which are unsafe for the public and children in particular. The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, in its land mark decision Environmental Health trust, et al. v. FCC, ruled that the FCC “failed to provide a reasoned explanation” for its decision not to upgrade its 1996 guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation. The FCC decision, not to upgrade, was ruled “arbitrary and capricious” under the federal Administrative Procedures Act and the case remanded back to the FCC to review the 11,000 pages of evidence, submitted to the docket. The evidence proved that harm is occurring below current FCC guidelines, which were set in 1996. To date, the FCC has failed to comply with the 2021 remand order. The Call, letter to State Attorney Generals, underscores the FCC statutory duty to regulate wireless exposure to protect public health and is requesting the assistance of the state prosecutors to help push for the court ordered upgrade of the outdated exposure levels which have been shown to be harming the public and the environment.

Other Countries Are Taking the Health Risks of 5G and Wireless Radiation Seriously. Why Isn’t the U.K.?

Other Countries Are Taking the Health Risks of 5G and Wireless Radiation Seriously. Why Isn’t the U.K.?

Momentum is building in the campaign to try to protect children from harmful smartphone use. Earlier this year, Miriam Cates MP led a lively debate on this subject, while the Education Committee led an inquiry entitled, ‘Screen Time – Impacts on Education and Wellbeing’. The grassroots movement, including Smartphone Free Childhood, Safe Screens and others is gathering pace. The latter organisation is in fact actively supporting MP Josh MacAlister’s Safer Phones Bill launched earlier this month, which aims to “make smartphones less addictive for children and empower families and teachers to cut down on children’s daily smartphone screen time”.

The dangers of smartphone use are clearly serious and encompass addiction, harmful content, exposure to sexual abuse and bullying, disruption of learning, behavioural changes through the habits adopted and the loss of previously normal childhood activities and social interactions. The movement hails Jonathan Haidt as the “world’s leading voice” on the damage caused to children by a phone-based childhood. Haidt identifies the damage as an “adolescent mental health crisis”.

Switzerland: 2023 monitoring report on non-ionizing radiation

The 2023 monitoring report presents several problems :

We persist in only taking into account the RMS values ​​(effective average values) and not the peak values, whereas it is mainly the latter which are decisive for the impacts at the biological level.

These measured values ​​are compared in this way to the maximum admissible immission value according to the ORNI [Ordinance on protection against non-ionizing radiation] which is much too high (up to 61V/m) because it is based solely on considerations of thermal effects, even though the BERENIS expert group [Swiss expert group on electromagnetic fields and non-ionizing radiation] mandated by the FOEN [Federal Office for the Environment] acknowledged having observed effects at values ​​lower than the maximum emission values ​​authorised for installations, which are 5V/m as a general rule.

Exposures that are already far too high according to the biological criteria of EUROPAEM [European Academy for Environmental Medicine] and habitat biology are declared as "low".

Measurements are only taken in schools in playgrounds and corridors, and never in classrooms, which are heavily irradiated due to all the wireless devices used.

Therefore, it is not possible to subscribe to what the FOEN says:

"The results indicate that population exposure to RNI is generally low and that health protection is assured."

Effects of Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields: Thirty years of research

Effects of Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields: Thirty years of research
saferenr.com, 24 October 2024

The preponderance of peer-reviewed research published since 1990 has found significant adverse effects from exposure to radio frequency radiation and extremely low frequency and static electromagnetic fields.

 
Dr. Henry Lai, Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington, Editor Emeritus of the journal, Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, and an emeritus member of the International Commission on the Biological Effects of EMF, has compiled summaries of the research on the biological effects of exposure to radio frequency (RFR) and extremely low frequency (ELF) and static electromagnetic fields (EMF). His set of abstracts which covers the period from 1990 to October 2024 constitutes a comprehensive collection of the peer-reviewed research.

Dr. Lai reports that the preponderance of research has found that exposure to RFR or ELF EMF produces oxidative effects or free radicals, and damages DNA. Moreover the preponderance of studies that examined genetic, neurological and reproductive outcomes has found significant effects. Among hundreds of studies of RFR, 71% to 89% reported significant effects. Among hundreds of studies of ELF and static fields, 75% to 90% reported significant effects.
