When Will They Come Clean Over the Radiation Risks of 5G?

When will they come clean over the radiation risks of 5G?

DOES citing peer-reviewed studies on the health impact of 5G and wifi make you a ‘conspiracy theorist’? The ‘Broadband and the road to 5G’ inquiry run by the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee seems to suggest so.

Before I explain further, I’d like to ask about your relationship with your smartphone. Do you love it so much that you would keep it on your person even if you knew it could damage your health?

A friend of mine used to go running with her smartphone in her bra and before she knew it had stage 4 breast cancer. In his later years my father had his wirelessly connected iPad on his lap much of the time. He lost the power in his thighs and got dementia. Does my suggestion of some connection seem outlandish to you? If so, please keep reading!

Of course there may not have been a causal link to those particular illnesses, but how many people know the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of their phone or know how to use it safely?

The Government does know about the risks, but has done little to educate the public. Its advice on radio-frequency radiation or RFR (also referred to as electromagnetic fields or EMFs in this article) emitted by mobile phones is here. It recommends that ‘excessive use of mobile phones by children should be discouraged’ and that ‘adults should be able to make their own choices about reducing their exposure should they so wish, but be able to do this from an informed position’. This recommendation is followed by measures you can take to reduce your exposure including ‘moving the phone away from the body’ and ‘choosing a phone with a low specific energy absorption rate (SAR) value quoted by the manufacturer’. This was based on the recommendations of the Stewart Report produced in 2000 by the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones, which the Government accepted.

So why has there not been a campaign to publicise the risks of mobile phone use and other RFR-emitting devices, especially for children? Instead, the opposite happened: the Government, through the now defunct British Educational Communications and Technology Agency, promoted the use of wireless technologies in schools, so that now there is hardly a school without them. During the lockdown the Government wanted every child to use a laptop, hardly any of which would have been hard-wired via ethernet cables. Research on specific harms to children from wireless technology had been presented to MPs in December 2017 by Dr Sarah Starkey, neuroscientist, when she gave evidence to the Early Years Inquiry. This has clearly been ignored. Further information on the vulnerability of children is here.
