The Truth About 5G

Sprint Cell Tower Will Be Removed From School Grounds

As a follow-up to this Mar 12 story that got picked up by Newsweek . . .

Adapted from an article By Jessica Mensch, Mar 23, 2019 | Original article here.

RIPON, CA — Parents in Ripon have been fighting for a Sprint cell tower to come down for roughly two years and they're calling the company's latest decision a major win.

"It's been a very hard battle, a very hard battle. And I'm hoping we've reached the end of it," mother Kellie Prime said. Now, these parents can breathe a sigh of relief after learning the cell tower outside of their sons' former school, Weston Elementary, will soon be moved. Prime and Monica Ferrulli have been fighting for this since their sons, Kyle and Mason, were diagnosed with cancer.

"Talking to specialists in the field, scientists, our own doctors," Ferrulli explained. "All the information that we gathered indicated that that tower could be a factor in their illness.'

These moms believe that the tower had any impact on their children's cancer, especially as more students and teachers fell ill. They say a total of eight were diagnosed with cancer in the past couple of years.

Prime said, "Having so many at one school in the district, with that tower being the one thing that sets Weston apart from the other schools, it's the only thing we had to look into,"

After holding protests, and taking their substantial evidence showing harms from 24/7 exposures to pulsed, data-modulated, Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation (RF-EMR) to the school board, Sprint now says it plans to move the cell tower.

Adrienne Norton, Sprint Corporate Communications, said.
"We do understand and respect the views of the community. We're committed to being good neighbors,"

The company stresses, that the tower is fully compliant with state and federal regulations.

"It's actually operating at less than one percent, hundreds of times below federal limits," Norton explained. That is what makes this decision so important.

Sprint's decision to move the cell tower recognizes that compliance with federal FCC RF-EMR exposure limits is not protective and, therefore "being hundreds of times below the federal RF-EMR exposure limits" is meaningless.

There are cancer clusters all over the US in areas surrounding cell towers that are compliant with FCC RF-EMR exposure limits. Another recent public health crisis that was reported to the FCC was for a Crown Castle cell tower in Sebastopol, CA: five deaths and 12 illnesses over the last ten years in a three-story apartment building that is 260 feet from the Crown Castle cell tower. Peak RF-EMR exposures on the third floor of this building were measured between 1,000,000 µW/m² and 3,600,000 µW/m²m which is 10% to 36% of the absurdly high FCC RF-EMR exposure limit of 10,000,000 µW/m² for frequencies of 1500 MHz or higher.

Since so-called "Small Cells" that are as close at 15 feet from homes routinely exhibit exposures that are "compliant" but in this 1% to 30% of the FCC-limit range, then the densified 4G and 5G infrastructure rollout should not be allowed in residential areas or near schools.

They even say "at levels much lower than that of today's 4G cell towers", but then say "adoption of 5G will mean more signals carrying more energy through the high-frequency spectrum".

Weaponizing Frequencies: The Coming 5G Tidal Wave

November 24, 2018
By Edward Morgan

Psychotronic millimeter wave weaponry is coming to a street near you, with the potential to unleash disease on a mass scale. Welcome to the new fifth generation of wi-fi called 5G, where the speed to send full-length, high definition movies to your iPad is ten times faster.

The Consequences
The need for speed has the consequence of going from moderate to severe health effects in record time. Note that 4G operates at 2.5 GHz or oscillates about 2.5 billion times per second.

This frequency mimics water molecules in your body, and was chosen specifically for broadcasting services and equipment under government license. This means that all company products must meet this frequency or be deemed illegal.

For what purpose is matching the human body's frequency, you may ask, other than for weaponization? Good question.

The higher frequencies of 5G – 100 GHz and beyond – will use small-scale wireless refrigerator-sized boxes, placed in front of every 2-10 homes on every street, in every city.

As you watch the latest Hollywood flick, you will bask, unaware, in microwave emissions that oscillate at the same rate as your blood and oxygen molecules. These frequencies can cause burning sensations on your skin, impact fertility, as well as alter the electrochemical waves of your brain to affect consciousness.

Awaiting Installation of 5G
Secret testing of 5G emissions made its debut during the 2018 Olympics, and then again at the 2018 Super Bowl where over 67,000 people were part of a stress-test without their consent.

Soon, the 5G antennae networks will be beta tested in nineteen U.S. cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Jacksonville, and San Jose.

High frequency 5G signals travel shorter distances and are easily blocked by buildings and trees.

What is the point?

Why create new technology that takes humanity in reverse?

No time for answers.

It's full steam ahead to remove the obstacles that block the signals.

First the trees.

Directed Fires And Poisoned Trees
Many people in California report that the extensive "weird fires" are destroying homes and leaving trees untouched. Everything does not burn. At other times, the metal of cars and rails burned with the leaves on trees, leaving tree trunks and kindling.

Santa Rosa & Northern CA Fires DEFY THE LAWS of PHYSICS

Could these unusual fires be the result of lasers from Directed Energy Weapons?

Whole forests have been devastated down straight lines, obeying fence lines. Add to that, the sanctioned poisoning of hardwood trees by timber companies that has led to over one million dead trees to create a fire hazard.

Are the trees being destroyed merely to unblock hazardous signals? Is this treason/tree-son on multiple levels? These same millimeter waves have been used by the U.S. Army as a crowd control dispersal weapon called Active Denial Systems.

Firefighters in Sacramento have reported memory problems and confusion following the installation of new towers outside the city fire station. Some cities, including Santa Rosa, have halted their 5G plans while health concerns are addressed.

Tree Towers
The power of trees keep us calm by acting on our autonomic nervous system, as well as our spirit.

Numerous studies show a dose-response relationship between urban tree cover density and self-reported stress recovery. Studies show reduced physiological markers of stress in subjects simply looking at images of nature.

Unless we can stand up, speak up, collaborate and network, we risk being victims of the attack coming at us unseen, as millimeter waves are directed at our bodies and minds. If we feel powerless and isolated now, imagine what it will feel like once the new networks are installed and operational.

Imagine what it will be like when the trees are replaced with towers that look like trees. We only feel isolated when we work alone and isolate ourselves. Like a forest, there is strength in numbers.


Massive 5G Cell Towers Disguised as Trees
Camilla Reese of Electromagnetichealth.org says we are facing actions at the federal and FCC levels that will create a dense network of high-intensity 4G and 5G microwave radiating cellular antennas in front of homes across America.

Moreover, federal legislation, S 3157, would severely reduce local revenues, shorten review times for applications and curtail local control over siting of cell towers.

Camilla says the movement to stop this rollout is necessary for health but is also about getting corporate money out of politics and building an independent media not dependent on toxic polluters and the corruption driving it.

Health Effects of 5G
Because 5G frequencies affect oxygen molecules, they affect all biological systems, including DNA, circadian rhythm, heart function, hormonal regulation, and immune system.

Hundreds of scientists have expressed concern that humans may experience serious health risks including increases in blindness, cataracts, retinal degeneration, hearing loss, male infertility, cancers, peripheral nervous system damage, impacts on immune cells, red blood cells leading to low cellular oxygen, and impaired transport of nutrients into cells. Impacts on birds and plants may be more severe than the impacts on humans.

Read: Hundreds of Birds Dead During 5G Experiment in The Hague, Netherlands

Beyond direct effects to health, harmful frequencies threaten society as a whole by ignoring the human right to informed-consent to high levels of radiation.

All life on the planet has a right to health and a healthy life. By accepting the 5G rollout without a discussion, as happened with the airport scanners, we give up sovereignty over our bodies and accelerate our demise.

These frequencies ionize metals being sprayed into the atmosphere under military "geo-engineering" programs to charge the atmosphere, along with our bodies. These programs further block the healing frequencies of the sun required by all life.

S 3157 has bipartisan support and currently faces little opposition. It could slip through the Senate via unanimous consent, appear in the House briefly and get attached to a spending bill — without any debate or roll-call votes specific to S 3157.

This would wipe out nearly all the protective ordinances already passed by forward-looking cities.

On September 26, 2018, the FCC is scheduled to vote through its Wireless Infrastructure Order (dockets 17-79 and 17-84). This order attempts to preempt local control of the public rights-of-way.

Wireless companies could then more easily install — in front of homes — cell towers that would irradiate those nearby with intense, pulsed, data-modulated, Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation (RF-EMR) — 24/7.

Some Solutions

   •   Voice the power of NO to all new generation wi-fi systems without proven
                safety.

   •   Hardwire all electrical connections or unplug wi-fi before sleeping.

   •   Use aluminum screens on windows to block EMF signals.

   •   Use RF-shielding paint to block EMF signals.

   •   Consume Carbon60, a powerful antioxidant, metal absorber, and carrier of
                metals out of the body.

   •   Unsubscribe to the genetically-modified corporate food system.

   •   Eat an organic diet to strengthen and maintain your immune system.

   •   Come together in small communities to maintain simple wi-fi for the
                benefit and balance of the group.

   •   Grow your own food. Plant a garden. Grow herbs and fruit trees.

   •   Stop using aluminum cookware, antiperspirants, baking powder, vaccines.

   •   Remove the outdoor refrigerators from your sightline.

In usual form, attacks to human health and the health of the planet are coming from new technologies that are unproven, untested, and amoral. Though government attempts to divide humanity, we are all Earthlings united at the level of our cells and our microbes.

Do we slow down and preserve our smallest inhabitants? Or do we accept the coming tidal wave? Speed for the sake of speed is the ideology of a cancer cell.

We'll leave you with this to consider:

"Putting in tens of millions of 5G antennae without a single biological test of safety has to be about the stupidest idea anyone has had in the history of the world."

Medical Sciences at Washington State University

Firefighters Living Next to Cell Towers Suffer Neurological Damage

"The fire station cell tower measured at 1/1000th to 2/1000th of the allowable FCC limit of non-ionizing radiation. That means the towers could be almost 1000 times more powerful than the level the firefighters were exposed to, and still be considered within FCC guidelines. And yet even at these levels of radiation, we found brain abnormalities and measurable neurological deficits."

Once cell towers were activated on or adjacent to their fire stations, they could no longer function without severe headache, inability to sleep, and foggy thinking. These are not symptoms we wish to see in our First Responders.

5G Waves Surprise! More 5G complications (2 articles)

From the EDN Network:
Brian Santo -February 15, 2019

Excerpt:
As network operators furtively roll out 5G services, the cellular communications industry is learning about 5G on the fly, finding one unexpected challenge after another. It's more difficult than they had anticipated, and in response they're incurring greater startup costs than they'd originally budgeted for.

One ray of sunshine: millimeter wave (mmWave) signals are more robust than many had feared. So far it seems the worries about rain fade and soft obstructions, such as foliage, were overblown.

A critical element of 5G is virtualizing the network, with the goal of making communications networks endlessly configurable to suit the various and changing needs of network users. On-demand network reconfigurability creates a need to make sure that each new configuration is delivering what was ordered. By definition, testing in advance is not possible.

5G has qualities new to cellular communications, including network configurability and lower latency that presage innumerable potential new uses, but the first impression most people are going to have of 5G is going to be with familiar telephony and broadband services. It would be bad for carriers if phone and internet on 5G networks aren't appreciably better than they are on 4G. Services on 5G had better not be worse.

Carriers are consequently calling on their T&M partners to extend their test capabilities from the lab into the network itself, to a) make sure the technology works when installed and b) new services perform as advertised when they're spun up.....SNIP

5G buildout will be more involved than we've been led to believe

Brian Santo December 19, 2018

Excerpt:
From the moment that the wireless industry decided it would make use of higher frequencies for 5G transmission, everyone has known spectrum would have some ramifications for those deployment plans. One issue, it turns out, will probably not be that big of a deal, the other somewhat more consequential, but neither is addressed very often. Both derive from what's commonly known: the higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the less well it propagates and the less able it is to penetrate obstacles.

So as a practical matter:
   1   In contrast to deploying 3G and 4G, deploying 5G will require distinct indoor and outdoor strategies.
   2   5G base stations will have to be spaced more closely, necessitating more of them, especially in densely populated areas.

The 5G Network: What You Don't Know May Kill You

April 3, 2017
Reinette Senum

How would you feel if you knew that an untested technology is being deployed across America with no government oversight, no transparency, no public input, no regulations, and no long-term studies on health and environmental impacts?

How would you feel if you knew sensors are rolling out to be installed in everything, from clothing, appliances, building materials, automobiles, cosmetics, toys, computers, furniture, etc, turning our world into the Internet of Things, as a component of this untested technology?
...

Our health is at risk while our state reps are allowing these corporate perpetrators to continue their deployment of technologies while most Americans have no idea what is about to be hoisted upon our biosphere.
 
We have to understand that the higher the G rating, as in 1G, 2G, 3G, etc., the more toxic this technology is. We are now entering uncharted territory known as 5G. Microwave and EMF exposure at the 4G level have already decreased America's overall health.
 
Under the current 5G plan every square inch of America will be bathed and covered in penetrating and irradiating microwaves like never before.

It will be impossible to escape this. Impossible.

Even more alarming is the 1996 Telecommunications Act that bans any local government from making a decision based upon negative health impacts from the wireless industry.


5G Dangers

(updated 29/4/2019)

In the past few weeks, councils and decision makers in the following regions have called for a moratorium on the 5G roll-out due to health effects –  Brussels, Rome, Florence and Swiss Cantons of Vaud and Geneva. Plus actions taken by some US City local governments to slow the deployment of 4G/5G antennae.

"5G Cannot Be Assumed Safe. We can no longer assume that any current or future technology, including 5G, is safe without adequate testing – because to do otherwise, is UNETHICAL." Ronald Melnick Ph.D


5G technology is being rolled out across the world without any pre-testing for short or long-term health effects.

5G technology, like the 2G, 3G, 4G telecommunications systems, has not had pre-market testing for short or long-term health effects despite the fact that people will be exposed continuously to this further radiation. The addition of these 5G radiation frequencies to an already complex mix of wireless frequencies, will contribute to a negative public health outcome from both physical and mental health perspectives...

About This International Appeal

The signatories to this Appeal are scientists, doctors and environmental organizations from every continent who have been working tirelessly for many years to call the world's attention to an invisible assault on our biosphere. That assault can be ignored no longer.

5G—the 5th generation of wireless technology—must not be built on Earth or in Space. The notion that radio frequency radiation, commonly known as radio waves, is somehow not real radiation and is harmless, was disproven by the 1970s in laboratories all over the world, and the harm to humans, animals and plants has since been confirmed in over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies. If 5G is built, radiation levels will increase 10- to 100-fold, virtually overnight, everywhere. There will literally be no place on Earth to hide from it.

The effects of levels of radio frequency radiation already existing now on the health of the population and the environment, as reflected in quality of life; high rates of cancer, neurological disease, heart disease and diabetes, even in children; plummeting populations of birds, bees and butterflies; and unhealthy forests, can be seen and felt everywhere.

We urge governments and the public to read the Appeal carefully, and to act accordingly.

Risks from 5G include:
   ▪   Damage to the eyes – cataracts, retinal damage
   ▪   Severe sweating
   ▪   Skin damage
   ▪   Immune system disruption
   ▪   Metabolic disruption
   ▪   Neurological disturbance
   ▪   Leakage of blood brain barrier
   ▪   Damage to sperm
   ▪   Increased risk of cancers
   ▪   Depression and suicide
   ▪   Collapse of insect populations, the base of food for birds and bats
   ▪   Rise in bacterial resistance and bacterial shifts
   ▪   Damage to plants and trees

Here is what some experts are saying about 5G:

"The new 5G wireless technology involves millimeter waves (extremely high frequencies) producing photons of much greater energy than even 4G and WiFi. Allowing this technology to be used without proving its safety is reckless in the extreme, as the millimeter waves are known to have a profound effect on all parts of the human body."
–Prof. Trevor Marshall, Director Autoimmunity Research Foundation, California

"The plans to beam highly penetrative 5G milliwave radiation at us from space must surely be one of the greatest follies ever conceived of by mankind. There will be nowhere safe to live."
–Olga Sheean former WHO employee and author of 'No Safe Place'

"It would irradiate everyone, including the most vulnerable to harm from radiofrequency radiation: pregnant women, unborn children, young children, teenagers, men of reproductive age, the elderly, the disabled, and the chronically ill."
—Ronald Powell, PhD, Letter to FCC on 5G expansion

"Along with the 5G there is another thing coming – Internet of Things. If you look at it combined the radiation level is going to increase tremendously and yet the industry is very excited about it.... they project 5G/IoT business to be a $7 trillion business."
-Prof. Girish Kumar, Professor at Electrical Engineering Department at IIT Bombay

"However, no matter what the future research will show, the 5G technology will be by then fully deployed and without any possibility of reverse because the whole future life of the humanity will be based and dependent on the functioning of the 5G radiation-emitting devices.

This is a unique situation in the history of the human kind when the whole human population will be exposed to man-made devices emitting non-ionizing radiation that was insufficiently tested before deployment.

What is and what will be the responsibility of the scientists, decision-makers and industry leaders who permit deployment of insufficiently tested technology that will affect us all? The answer is simple – no responsibility... because if any health problems will show up in the future, these will most likely take tens of years of time to manifest and, by then the persons that currently enable deployment of insufficiently tested radiation-emitting 5G technology will be retired or the proverbial "six feet under".

5G Wireless: A Dangerous 'Experiment on Humanity'

RT America
Published on Jan 14, 2019

Scientists, environmental groups, doctors and citizens around the world are appealing to all governments to halt telecommunications companies' deployment of 5G (fifth generation) wireless networks, which they call "an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law." Research has shown that wireless radiation can cause DNA damage, neuropsychiatric effects and other health problems. RT America's Michele Greenstein joins Rick Sanchez to discuss.

How 5G will change your smartphone, and your life in 2019

Published on Dec 26, 2018
Digital Trends

Imagine playing a co-op shooter like Fortnite Battle Royale or PUB-G on a VR headset... in real-time, with zero lag... all through your phone, while traveling in a fleet of self-driving cars going 200 miles an hour. Sit tight, because the future of gaming, and everything else, is about to change forever.

If you look up in the corner of your phone, you're probably used to seeing a little indicator that says 4G LTE or, 3G, or... god forbid, 2G – and you've come to recognize that it probably has something to do with your phone's connection to your mobile network. The higher the G, the faster the connection. It's pretty easy to follow, the G stands for generation, and each subsequent generation refers to a specific minimum speed, connectivity, and reliability necessary to classify the network as that particular generation. 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us broad data and internet, and 4G/LTE made it a whole lot faster.

But all that is in the soon to be past, because up on the horizon is 5G. And while you may be thinking that 5G is just a little faster, a little more reliable, and a little newer – it's actually a massive breakthrough that's going to change the way devices connect to the internet, and more importantly, to each other. In fact, as 5G rolls out over the next two years, it's going to change... well, everything with a wireless connection. Which, at this point is ...well, pretty much everything. So, what's so special about a 5G future?

First of all, it's fast. Like, really fast. Like, 20 gigabits per second over wireless fast. Like 100 - 250 times faster than 4G. By comparison, 4G provides speeds, on average, of about 10 - 20 megabits a second. So that's going from streaming one Netflix movie in HD, to streaming 400 movies in 8k at the same time.

But that's not really the most impressive part... what sets 5G aside is its crazy low latency rate, which is the amount of delay between the sending and receiving of information. Now, 4G tends to average about 100-200 milliseconds. To be fair, 100 milliseconds is FAST; human reaction time is about 200-300 milliseconds. But 5G... will get it down to 1 millisecond. Or less. That's almost real-time. And being able to send and receive information in what is essentially real-time, means that we can use 5G... to replace real-time interactions.

That might be one of the biggest breakthroughs in 5G: a network of self driving cars – all sending data between each other, and communicating with traffic lights, road sensors, aerial drones, and so on. Think about it, human reaction speed is 200 milliseconds, and we still have accidents every day. Imagine if your car could react, and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within a millisecond. Not only could we end car accidents, hell, we could end traffic altogether. Hundreds of self-driving cars, going lightning fast to your destination, with no risk that they'll hit each other, because they all know exactly where they are in real-time, reacting to the actual world around them. Autonomous or remotely controlled trains, delivery trucks, even airplanes could be on the horizon in the near future.

In fact, forget cars for a second, and think of all robotic devices. Surgeries could be performed, from the other side of the world, with robot surgeons controlled in real-time by expert surgeons, being assisted by other expert surgeons simultaneously; saving lives in situations where time and distance are the difference between life and death. Factories can be staffed by robots that can communicate their task and position to each other, allowing them to not only do more, but do it more efficiently, and wirelessly over a 5G network. Imagine a fleet of drones flying over a field of crops, using sensors on the ground, to sort, pick, feed, and water individual plants – all on their own.

However, 5G is a weapons system
masquerading as a modern efficiency technology.

The 5G Bait-and-Switch Continues

Adapted from an article by Bruce Kushnick,
Mar 25, 2019 | Original Medium article here.

Kushnick's Law:
"A regulated company will always renege on promises to provide public benefits tomorrow in exchange for regulatory and financial benefits today."

Why do we have the "Race to 5G"?
Because 5 comes after 4 . . . this is more a label for perceived progress than actual, tangible consumer benefit. Market watchers and consumers know that the "Smart Phone" has run its course. It has reached market saturation and consumers are settling into a more sane upgrade pattern — keeping their phones for three year or longer. Smart Phones, since about 2015 or so have, on the whole, have been more capable than consumers need or want. That explains why Smart Phone unit sales in the US have flattened or dropped for multiple years.

The same can be said for the Wireless networks. We have reached market saturation. Where there is 4G Wireless service, people are satisfied with their service. Where there is no 4G service (the rural and lower income areas) people are not. Will 5G address the need to for upgraded service in these underserved and unserved areas? Not likely because the business case for private wireless companies is not lucrative enough. It is more lucrative for them to force another unnecessary upgrade on the densely populated urban and suburban areas in an effort to convince people to upgrade, once again.

5G wireless, therefore is just another bait-and-switch campaign to secure more regulatory and financial benefits for AT&T and Verizon so they can maximize their future profits. 5G is merely a label for "what comes next" — lots of hype and promises for the future that history shows will mostly not materialize.

The game plan: AT&T and Verizon can just promise a new shiny bauble (the Internet of Things) make more money and get rid of all regulations. That is what this is all about.

   •   Any real consumer benefit? Mostly from "meh" to downright indifference.
      
   •   Any fix for the growing Digital Divide? Sorry. Not profitable enough.

So far, it's been mostly hype and every one of those state "Small Cell" deployment laws, passed in only 21 of our 50 states, is forcing the installation of 4G cell towers on utility and light poles in front of people's homes with the "promise" that 5G will be coming "real soon".

Waiting for . . .?
On December 8, 2015, I quoted a Fierce Wireless interview of former Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, where Verizon claimed it would deliver speeds of 1Gbps with a commercial launch in 2017.

"Verizon's McAdam: 5G speeds will be up to 1 Gbps and will be live at Verizon HQ in January (2016). Verizon's 5G service to go commercial in 2017 and beyond."

That never happened, except for controlled test locations. Now, Verizon is claiming it will have 5G in 30 cities by year end...

Which is more dangerous to health : Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G or 5G?

By ANKIT
7th March 2019

Which radiation is more harmful to health, those emitted by 3/4/5G mobile networks, Bluetooth devices or a Wi-Fi router? Here is the truth.

Today, we are surrounded by devices that emit electromagnetic waves: smartphones, TVs, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth headsets and so on. Anything that uses a network, be it WLAN, 3G or LTE/4G, is "potentially dangerous" for health ... But is it really like that? And above all, which of these radio frequencies that we use every day can expose us to greater risks? We make clarity.

Smartphone radiation: which waves do more harm?
Today there are 3 transmission standards for mobile: GSM (2G), UMTS (3G) and LTE (4G), which differ substantially in speed, which increases as the generation increases.

The frequencies used are the following:
   •   2G – between 900 and 1,800 MHz
   •   3G – between 1900 and 2,170 MHz
   •   LTE/4G – between 800 and 2600 MHz
   •   
No technology of those cited causes harmful radiation as it is non-ionizing electromagnetic waves, that is, they do not ionize the medium through which they pass and do not alter the molecules.

The only effect on the human body is heating, but exposure levels are so low that they can not be considered risky.

It should also be remembered that radio-frequency devices, in order to be placed on the market, must comply with maximum exposure levels so as not to incur proven health risks. These requirements are: 8 Watts/kg for the body and 2 Watts/kg for body parts such as the head.

[tfw note: These morons conveniently leave out that those tests done on 'the head' are referring to Phantom Head One - modeled after a military man's adult head.] 

Wifi
The Wi-Fi devices we find on the market take advantage of the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands to exchange data and information packets. The factor at stake, if we talk about health dangers, could at most be the power, but we consider that the signal emitted by a Wi-Fi router is about 100 milliwatt and that even at normal operating distances the signal strength is so low not to be a cause for concern.

Bluetooth
Now the technology goes to the wireless direction and more and more accessories and wireless devices (think of Apple's AirPods ), but the brands have every interest to lower as much as possible the power of emissions so as to preserve battery consumption.

As for Bluetooth devices, the power used is too low and the minimum energy impact "to be able to damage any biological tissue with the mechanisms known to us at present. If it were risky for health it should be in ways that no one has ever imagined", said John Moulder, a radiation expert biologist at the University of Wisconsin. Bluetooth uses a frequency of waves very similar to that of Wi-Fi, but we can consider it more a "Wi-Fi light" and therefore even more harmless.

Egad! You just can't make this stuff up! 

The bluetooth devices sold by Apple have an output of 10-18 milliwatts, and less than 1% of this energy comes in the form of electromagnetic radiation, a more than insignificant amount compared to that which is exposed by supporting the smartphone to the ear.

Even a recent research by the International Agency for Cancer Research has concluded that the more a device is far from one's head the less harmful it is, but there is no definitive study in this regard and the results often come to antithetical conclusions.

And the 5G?
The 5G will use the maximum frequency spectrum possible and never used so far, ie radio waves between 30 and 300 GHz. The alarms about the risks to human health are not lacking, but despite several pseudoscientific studies, there is currently no real evidence on the harmfulness of 5G. Even in the case of 5G, in fact, the frequencies have a very low intensity to have ionizing effects on biological tissues. The waves used by the 5G have more difficulty penetrating through the air and the walls, and this therefore also applies to organic tissues.

Gotta love their closing statement.

All the arguments about the danger of the 5G are not scientific and can therefore be relegated in the field of hoaxes.

     The quote above truly gives us the very reason why 5G should be considered dangerous.   The fact that trees, buildings and biologic entities block 5G signals is proof

that this 5G frequency is absorbed by said objects!   And that is exactly what makes it dangerous.   This indicates that indeed a great deal of the signals energy is
 
absorbed by the bodies of humans and any other animals and things in range.   This is a more disruptive and harmful event then passing through and object. 

The disruption to cells can be far greater when the energy/signal bombarding is absorbed.

I don't know about you, but I would rather it pass through then be absorbed by my tissues.

    Oh well its just a thought.......Have a great day!

Absorbed or reflected? Some of those frequencies are used in police radars.

[WhatTheHey]

   Here's a quote from Nexusnewsfeed.com:
  "Millimeter waves (MMWs) do not travel well through buildings and they tend to be absorbed by rain and plants. This interferes with the signal. Added to this, high frequency waves like MMWs also have much shorter wavelengths that can't travel far."
   As you can see this frequency is basically absorbed readily by anything with liquid water in its make up.  So the more water, the more easily the signal is absorbed.  Since we are mostly water, this will affect us easily.
    If it was reflected by objects and not absorbed it would still be radiant and just take a new direction with probably a small reduction in signal strength and not be truly blocked.  Another issue with millimeter wave length is the range.  They do not travel very far, so they will need many more towers to achieve coverage. 
   Although I believe this is pointed this out in previous posts above, this particular range of frequency is use in military sonic weapons (at higher power and concentration  for acute reaction) because of its ability to penetrate the tissues of the body and brain causing a variety of symptoms both mental and physical.   
   Look at the posts and links above and there is more about this.

    Have a good one!

Disclosure: Mind Commerce (https://mindcommerce.com/) is a market research company and we publish reports about 5G. For more info, see: https://mindcommerce.com/report-tag/5g/

We are not healthcare professionals, scientific researchers, or experts in electromagnetic energy.

Would like to start by stating that in addition to many, MANY more antennas (practically everywhere, but mostly within a metro area), there will also be a need for 5G Smart Antennas (more info here: https://mindcommerce.com/reports/5g-smart-antenna-market/).

There is no point in sugar-coating it. 5G is like a runaway train, so it's going to happen.

Perhaps like many of you, we are not aware of any substantive, independent testing about the health effects it may cause. We believe there has been some testing regarding high energy millimeter wave (mmWave) radio frequency (RF) propagation, which doesn't look good for living things. However, 5G New Radio (NR) uses low energy RF. The problem may be (if there is any problem) long term exposure to 5GNR.

Again, we are in the business of telling people about the merits of 5G, so don't take this as hypocritical. We don't know any more about the potential ill health effects than anyone else in lieu of testing. Sadly, it would likely have to be long-term testing to be conclusive.

One guideline to consider, even more so with 5G than ever before, would be to limit the exposure of directed energy towards you head and vital organs. In other words, use a headset, which is a good hands-free safety idea anyway. This is just using good judgement regarding any wireless technology.

As a side note, we see most of the applications and services being data-oriented with 5G. However, Voice over 5G (Vo5G) will be integrated with many next generation apps such as Virtual Reality (VR). The distinction is that the user interface (UI) will likely be wearable technology (e.g. a VR headset) and the 5GNR signal will be beamed to a smartphone (or some other device) and then relayed to the UI via some other wireless signal, most likely WiFi.

We have written extensively about how we see 5G being used (such as Vo5G: https://mindcommerce.com/reports/vo5g-market/), but like others in the information and communications technology industry, admittedly know very little about the potential health concerns of 5G.

Besides police radars, as I said before, I found out that those frequencies are also used on full body scanners, and they work by analysing the wave reflected by the body.

I know some people don't like Wikipedia, but I think it's a better source than nexusnewsfeed.

In active scanners, the millimetre wave is transmitted from two antennas simultaneously as they rotate around the body. The wave energy reflected back from the body or other objects on the body is used to construct a three-dimensional image, which is displayed on a remote monitor for analysis.

Due to the shallow penetration depth of millimetre waves into tissue (typically less than 1 mm),[13] acute biological effects of irradiation are localized in epidermal and dermal layers and manifest primarily as thermal effects.

How can a radio frequency be used on sonic equipment? We can only ear frequencies below 20 KHz (for an average young adult) and we do not ear electromagnetic radiation.
