5G Network: Everyone Should Know

Several experts have drawn our attention to new 5G networks, which are currently being implemented around the world. Many researchers claim that this technology will cause serious health consequences and electromagnetic pollution.

People have been talking about 5G networks for a while. They are, as the name implies, fifth generation networks. However, there are some striking differences between them and previous generations. Many doctors and professionals in the health sector warn against the possible health risks.

Technological advances are completely irreversible. Once something has been invented or discovered, it is not possible to go back. In addition, even if we could, when the invention or technology involves a large financial investment,  it is not possible to go back in time. 5G networks will not be an exception. They have come to be… at least until the next generation.

However, many experts believe that  5G networks are highly polluting  and can have serious effects on humans and all ecosystems as a whole. They say that there should at least be sufficient and accurate information on the subject.

What is 5G technology?

5G technology allows wireless connection between all kinds of devices. It reaches higher connection speeds than previously achieved, in addition to being able to handle a high level of traffic.

In other words, 5G networks work at full speed, with a large number of devices connected at the same time. This technology will also expand the ” Internet of Things ” or “Internet of Things” (IoT) significantly. It will let you control all kinds of remote devices with your phone.

So far, so good , as it is said. The problem is that  5G networks require a change in infrastructure. They require a massive installation of thousands of small antennas, the sizes of which range from the diameter of a coin to the size of a frisbee. Because of this, they will be everywhere, be turned on all the time, and according to some, generate a constant cloud of growing radiation.

One of the most problematic is that many of these antennas must be at ground level. There will probably be a distance of less than 90 meters between them, to ensure efficient interconnection. In addition to this, according to current regulations, no one will know exactly where they are.

The effects of 5G networks on health

There are still no definitive conclusions regarding the effects of electromagnetic waves on our health. What exists, however, are serious suspicions about the subject. In 2011, for example, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified microwaves from telephones as category “2B”, which means ” possible carcinogen “.

Similarly, several independent studies claim that these waves produce generalized  oxidative stress . This can cause several different health-related conditions.

Dr. Magda Havas, a professor of environmental science at the Universities of Toronto and Trent, said  there is evidence that such waves can alter functioning cells.

There is also the Mobi-Kids research, a study that was conducted with children and adolescents. Electromagnetism may apparently be responsible for an increase in cases of brain tumors in young people.

Reality or fiction?

Another disruptive aspect of 5G networks is that they  have a high potential to monitor people. Their stability, volume and speed enable them to conduct a detailed investigation of everything we do. They can even gather information about  how often we open the fridge or dry our hair.

Another striking fact is that the two main countries that have declared that 5G networks are of interest to them are China and the United States. It seems to be a bitter struggle to control this new technology.

As of today, those who defend the idea that such technology is harmless have not been able to present evidence to support just this. On the other hand, there are official documents that warn of possible damage caused by electromagnetic fields. One of them was published by the European Academy of Environmental Medicine in 2016.

The most important thing is that we must be well informed about the subject. Those who try to bring out a great debate on the subject are right. We are all right to know whether 5G networks can harm us or not.

In the meantime, you should be careful about your kids’ access to cell phones. For the sake of your children, you should encourage healthy habits and set aside time to relax from technology and enjoy quality time with family and friends.
