The limits were set based on research from the 1980s using behavioral changes seen in rats that were exposed to microwave radiation. The aim was to protect people from the short-term risks of radiation exposure.
Needless to say, science has advanced significantly since the 1980s, and we are now far more aware of the dangerous effects of this radiation on human health – even exposure to much lower radiation levels – thanks to a large body of peer-reviewed research.
Another problematic aspect of the FCC’s exposure limits is the fact that they only limit the frequency, or intensity, of the carrier waves while ignoring other factors. For example, many scientists have expressed concerns that other characteristics of the signals, such as polarization and pulsing, raise the impacts of exposure and that new limits needed to be set that took these effects into account.
Of course, that would mean 5G plans would not be able to go forward, so it’s not surprising the FCC is not taking a more sensible approach. In fact, the head of the FCC at the time this decision came down, Ajit Pai, is a former telecom executive who worked for Verizon. The importance of 5G for the military was almost certainly a consideration as well.
A group of hundreds of scientists wrote a letter to the World Health
Organization and the United Nations warning that there are “serious
concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF
generated by electric and wireless devices.”...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
