Exposure to RF-EMF from mobile phone base station increases with increasing population density

New method to measure 5G radiation from mobile phones and base stations

Exposure to RF-EMF from mobile phone base station increases with increasing population density

Peer-Reviewed Publication

Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), News Release, 2 January 2025

A team of researchers from Project GOLIAT has developed and applied a new protocol to measure exposure to mobile phone radiation, in particular from 5G. The researchers measured radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) levels during three different scenarios: when the mobile device is in flight mode (non-user), when the mobile phone is used intensively by either downloading or uploading data. The study demonstrates that exposure to RF-EMF from mobile phone base station increases with increasing population density. However, mobile phones transmit most strongly in areas with poor network quality.

The research was conducted in Switzerland, one of the first countries in Europe to roll out 5G networks on a large scale. The results have now been published in Environmental Research and provide relevant data for epidemiological research, risk management and risk communication.

RFK Jr. Podcast: Paul Héroux on the potential health effects of radiofrequency radiation from cell phones and Wi-Fi networks
27 July 2024

In the episode, Paul Heroux and I discuss the potential health effects of radiofrequency radiation from cell phones and Wi-Fi networks, with a focus on the need for new rulemaking by the FCC. We also discuss the safety of radiation, industry manipulation of science, and the potential dangers of emerging technologies like 5G and driverless cars. The conversation highlights the increase in permeability of the blood-brain barrier due to radiation exposure, leading to inflammation and interference with brain function, as well as the link between radiation exposure and various chronic diseases.

A Chinese study confirms the dangers of waves for male fertility

A Chinese study confirms the dangers of waves for male fertility
By : Phonegate Team • 16 Dec. 2024

A new Chinese animal study, published in November 2024 in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, highlights the harmful effects of microwaves on male reproduction. The research, conducted by a team led by Dr. Ruiyun Peng of the Beijing Institute of Radiological Medicine, provides new scientific evidence of the risks associated with wireless communication technologies.

An electromagnetic environment at risk

Microwaves are widely used in mobile communications, particularly in the 1.5 GHz (L-band) and 4.3 GHz (C-band) frequency bands. These frequencies are close to those used by 4G and 5G technologies, as the authors point out in this study:

“Yet in reality, due to the complexity of the electromagnetic environment, the human body is exposed to several microwave frequency bands. These include global mobile communication systems, widely used 4 G and 5 G cell phones, and commonly used frequency bands including L-band and C-band, [2, [3-. Therefore, it is essential to explore the biological effects of combined L- and C-band microwave exposure.”

World Health Organization’s EMF Project’s Systemic Reviews on the Association Between RF Exposure and Health Effects Encounter Challenges

In a newly-published paper, one of the world's most renowned scientists who has studied the effects of radio frequency (RF) radiation, Dr. James C. Lin, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, Chicago and a former ICNIRP Commissioner, attacks the World Health Organization's systematic reviews of the research on RF radiation that dismiss the substantial evidence for adverse biological and health effects.

World Health Organization’s EMF Project’s Systemic Reviews on the Association Between RF Exposure and Health Effects Encounter Challenges [Health Matters]
by James C. Lin, IEEE, 12 Dec. 2024

James C. Lin concludes:

"The criticisms and challenges encountered by the published WHO-EMF systematic reviews are brutal, including calls for retraction. Rigorous examinations of the reviews reveal major concerns. In addition to the scientific quality, they appear to have a strong conviction of nothing but heat to worry about with RF radiation. The unsubtle message that cellular mobile phones do not pose a cancer risk is clear. The reviews exhibit a lack of serious concerns for conflicts of interest and display unequivocal support for the recently promulgated ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines for human safety.

From its inception, WHO-EMF had close ties with ICNIRP, a private organization, frequently referred to as the WHO-EMF project’s scientific secretariat [18]. What may not be as apparent for the WHO-EMF systematic reviews is the lack of diversity of views. A large number of ICNIRP commissioners and committee members are listed as authors for the WHO-EMF systematic reviews; some also served as lead authors. These concerns advance issues of reviewer independence and potential for conflicts of interest."

Switzerland – 5G [DAB-plus], Blinding Vehicle LED-Lights and Chemtrails

Switzerland – 5G [DAB-plus], Blinding Vehicle LED-Lights and Chemtrails
Open Letter to Swiss Federal Council
By Peter Koenig, Global Research, 25 Nov. 2024

Distinguished Federal Councilors,

Although this letter addresses particularly issues related to the Swiss Federal Department in charge of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communication, currently held by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, the letter is, indeed, directed at the Collective Federal Council, responsible for decisions in unanimity.

The letter concerns three major topics:

(i) 5G radiation (5th Generation of wireless cellular technology), especially DAB-plus (Digital Audio Broadcasting);

ii) Ultrabright Car LED-Lights (LED – Light Emitting Diode); and

iii) Chemtrails – weather modification and poisoning air, soil and water with dangerous chemicals and heavy metals.

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: Michael Bevington, Chair of Trustees at Electrosensitivity UK, explains the health risks associated with exposure to radiofrequency radiation and electromagnetic fields and why more robust action is needed to protect public health

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) is a physical reaction to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and electromagnetic fields (EMFs). These come from mobile phone masts, mobile phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart meters, and similar devices, as well as power lines and electric motors.

Typical short-term symptoms are headaches, dizziness, brain fog, memory loss, muscle pains, heart palpitations, anxiety, depression, nosebleeds and skin rashes. Long-term symptoms, often subconscious, range from cancer and infertility to neurological and cardiovascular harm.

Short-term symptoms cease when the RFR and EMFs causing them are removed. Long-term symptoms can be irreversible.

ICBE-EMF Comments to ANSES Draft Report on "Radiofrequencies and Cancer"

ICBE-EMF Comments to ANSES on Radiofrequency and Cancer

ICBE-EMF, 25 Nov. 2024

The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) has filed comments to the draft report of ANSES, the French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety on “Radiofrequencies and Cancer.”

“The totality of the above findings strengthens IARC’s conclusion from 2011, when radiofrequency radiation was classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC 2013). To dismiss those findings in order to maintain current exposure limits to radiofrequency radiation is not in the best interest of public health.”

“The extensive scientific literature on adverse effects of radiofrequency radiation should alert public health agencies of risks to human health, including cancer, in order for exposure limits to be set to levels that minimize those risks.”

RFK Jr. Doesn’t Trust 5G. In the Trump Administration, He’d Have Power to Upend It

“If Bobby Kennedy is confirmed as secretary of HHS, you can be very sure that that issue is going to get a lot more attention,” said an ally who wants tighter regulation on cell phone radiation.

Do cell phones and 5G cause cancer? It’s a question that has plagued Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and if Kennedy is confirmed as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, it’s one he will have power to explore.

“The next-generation telecommunications network should be discontinued until it has been ‘sufficiently demonstrated that there are no real and serious health risks,’” Kennedy wrote on X in 2020. Kennedy did not respond to a request for comment.

In a July 2024 episode of his podcast, Kennedy spoke at length about what he saw as the risks of cell phone radiation and how he believed research into the topic has been systematically suppressed by the telecommunications industry.
