Experts raise public health fears about microwave syndrome from 5G masts

The Government would have us believe that "there may be a small increase in overall exposure to radio waves when 5G is added to an existing network or in a new area" but that "there should be no consequences for public health". Is this actually the case? On what evidence has this statement been made?

I have just read the four 5G case studies carried out this year by Professor Lennart Hardell and Mona Nilsson, in which eight people developed debilitating symptoms after the installation of 5G masts next to their accommodation, where precise radiation measurements were taken. The results put a big question mark over the Government's statement.

Has our Government ignored the worldwide appeals and consensus statements made by independent scientists and doctors, calling for a revision of safety guidelines and a halt to the rollout of 5G on the basis of research on the much lower levels of pre-5G emissions? These include:

433 scientists who have signed the EU 5G appeal. 259 scientists from 44 nations who have signed the international EMF scientist appeal. 164 scientists and medical doctors as well as 95 non-governmental organisations who have signed the EMF Call. 

There is also the compelling 2020 Consensus Statement of U.K. and international, medical and scientific experts on the health effects of non-ionising radiation, signed by organisations representing 3,500 medical doctors throughout the world, initiated by the Physicians' Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE).

The lead author of the four 5G case studies is Professor Hardell, an oncologist and leading researcher from the Swedish Research Foundation for Environment and Cancer. He was the first in the world to publish results on elevated cancer risks with mobile phone use. His co-author, Mona Nilsson, is Director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, which seeks, in the absence of information from the Government or the media, to inform people of the risks.

But before we look at the 5G case studies, let's take a brief look about what is already known about the health risks of previous mobile communications technology. The updated Bioinitiative Report has listed thousands of studies on the adverse health effects of pre-5G technology....<<<Read More>>>...
