5G And The IOT: Scientific Overview Of Human Health Risks

5G And The IOT: Scientific Overview Of Human Health Risks
Environmental Health Trust, ehtrust.org

5G is the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE mobile networks commonly used today. Currently there is no standard for 5G networks in place and it will be a combination of a variety of frequencies and modulations. Industry is developing exactly what 5G will be. It is assumed that 5G networks will not become commercially available until 2020 but several cities are rolling out 5G as test areas now.

Published peer reviewed science already indicates that the current wireless technologies of 2G, 3G and 4G – in use today with our cell phones, computers and wearable tech – creates radiofrequency exposures which poses a serious health risk to humans, animals and the environment. Scientists are cautioning that before rolling out 5G, research on human health effects urgently needs to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected.

Being Connected Can Seriously Damage Health: Swiss TV Program "Temps Présent" (18 May 2917)

This excellent 55-min. documentary is now available for viewing on-line in French.

Being connected can seriously damage health

Temps Présent, 18 May 2017, rts.ch

Are we putting our health at risk by constantly bathing in the electromagnetic radiation of relay antennas, telephones, Wi-Fi and connected objects? This question frightens the medico-scientific community, which is seeing an increase in cases of electrohypersensitivity and sick people in the population.

We know the phone which heats the head during a long conversation.  The thermal effect of cell phones is known and regulated but it is the other effects of electromagnetic radiation that are the subject of debate.

Relay antennas, phones, Wi-Fi, connected objects, we are bathed in a continuous electromagnetic field whose impact is beginning to be felt among the population.  Some people become electrohypersensitive, their lives going from normal to a nightmare, others develop tumors which has lead the courts of other countries to deliver judgments in their favor.

Prolia: Another Wonder Drug that Wasn't (2015 Article)

On 17 May 2017, the Swiss newspaper Tribune de Genève published an article on the side-effects of denosumab (Prolia), a medication widely prescribed in Switzerland against osteoporosis. Swissmedic, the Swiss drug authority, has just issued a warning that this new medication could provoke "multiple spontaeneous vertebral fractures" when treatment is stopped. Switzerland is one of the first countries to signal this. Some 10,000 persons in Switzerland are being treated with this medication.

Monkeys developed tooth and jaw abscesses and two died of protozoal infections. Human subjects developed cervical, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric and thyroid cancers and breast cancer was the "most common adverse event that led to discontinuation" in trials. Adverse event?

Ten people were hospitalized with the skin infection cellulitis during trials and one died.

Tesla factory workers reveal pain, injury and stress: 'Everything feels like the future but us'

Exclusive: CEO Elon Musk defends workplace, saying ‘[we are not] just greedy capitalists who skimp on safety’ – and declares his $50bn company overvalued

When Tesla bought a decommissioned car factory in Fremont, California, Elon Musk transformed the old-fashioned, unionized plant into a much-vaunted “factory of the future”, where giant robots named after X-Men shape and fold sheets of metal inside a gleaming white mecca of advanced manufacturing.

The appetite for Musk’s electric cars, and his promise to disrupt the carbon-reliant automobile industry, has helped Tesla’s value exceed that of both Ford and, briefly, General Motors (GM). But some of the human workers who share the factory with their robotic counterparts complain of grueling work pressure they attribute to Musk’s aggressive production goals, and sometimes life-changing injuries.

RE-POSTED 15 May 2017:  Electromagnetic radiation is silently damaging not only our own health but also that of our environment. 

Dutch Study Suggests Wifi Is Killing Trees

by Carolanne Wright, Contributing Writer for Wake Up World / Elle, 20 November 2015

The health-damaging effects of wireless technology has been a hotly debated topic in scientific circles for years now. Linked with increased stress, brain fog, insomnia, cancer, lower sperm count, Alzheimer’s Disease, behavioral issues and developmental delays, many are questioning the daily use of Wi-Fi, cellphones, tablets, smart meters and other modern ‘necessities.’

For anyone who has first hand experience with electromagnetic sensitivity triggered by these devices, there is little doubt of their negative effect on health, mental clarity and overall well-being. Regrettably, humans aren’t the only ones negatively affected by wireless technology. Researchers in the Netherlands have found electromagnetic pollution can also harm trees.

5G Radiation Dangers – 11 Reasons To Be Concerned

The effects?  Denser soup of electrosmog, effects on skin, eyes, heart, immune system, cell growth rates, bacteria resistance, plant health, atmosphere and depletion of fossil fuels, disruption of natural ecosystem.  Do we really want this for the sake of faster download speeds and connection to over a trillion objects around the world ?!

5G Radiation Dangers – 11 Reasons To Be Concerned
Posted by Lloyd Burrell, electricsense.com, 

12 May 2017

Like it or not we’re rapidly moving into the world of 5G, or 5th generation cellular telecommunications.

Why?

Because the frequency bandwidths used currently by cell phones and similar technologies are becoming saturated.

And also because we live in a world where people want more. 5G, and the Internet of Things (IoT) that goes with it, promises to give us more.

But more what?

Biocoop Demi-lune in Poitiers : Customers are switching off their cell phones for electrosensitive persons

by Mélanie Barbotin, France Bleu Poitou and  France Bleu, 9 April 2017 

No cell phone in the Biocoop Demi-Lune store in Poitiers Monday mornings.

A first in Poitiers:  a Biocoop store is reducing its wave emissions to accommodate persons sensitive to electromagnetic waves.  Every Monday morning, customers are asked to switch off their cell phone or put it in airplane mode.  The customers, far from taking offense, are ready to go along with this.  "I am not addicted to the cell phone, so this doesn't bother me", explains a customer.  "I am not hypersensitive, but I am sensitive to the problem of waves and at home, I pay attention and switch off my cell phone," says another.

Tablets and smartphones damage toddlers' speech development
by Sarah Knapton, science editor, The Telegraph, 4 May 2017

Putting babies in front of iPads before the age of two stunts speech development, a new study suggests.

In Britain children under the age of three spend an average of 44 minutes a day using smartphones and tablets but it is the first time researchers have shown it can impact language skills.

Researchers from the University of Toronto and The Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto found that every 30 minutes of screen time increased the risk of delayed speech by 49 per cent.

By the age of two to three, infants should be able to communicate in sentences of between three and four words. But those who spent the most time on handheld devices were found to struggle with communication skills.

After the fraud concerning the fine particle emissions of cars, here is the scam of mobile phone manufacturers to minimize the radiation of their toys. Who would want to roam around with the equivalent of 10% of a microwave oven in defrost mode in one’s pocket? The manufacturers of mobile phones guarantee this will never be the case. But tests conducted by the National Frequency Agency (ANFR) reveal that 89% (out of around 100 phones analyzed in 2015) produce a higher radiation, even a great deal higher, than the legal limits, an “unwelcome” figure revealed in a 2016 health agency report, citing work that has remained hitherto secret. A public health issue.

Italy: This Court Case Decided Cell Phones Give You Brain Tumors​

"A consumer protection agency in Italy is also said to be weighing a class-action suit that will force cell phones to have health warnings as a result of this decision."

Here’s a judgment that could set some serious precedent for people stuck on their work phones all day.

An Italian court has awarded a man named Robert Romero roughly $7,500 yearly payments for life after he allegedly developed a brain tumor from using his Telecom Italia phone three hours every day for 15 years. Repeated usage of the phone is said to have led to development of a non-cancerous tumor, as well as the loss of hearing in one of his ears.
