– written by Alasdair Philips, Technical Director of EMFields Solutions Ltd Many people are very concerned about the roll-out of 5G. We attempt to address some of the issues. Our current Acoustimeter (AM10) and Acousticom2 (AC2) measure 5G signals up to 8 GHz. The main new 5G frequency bands are in the range 3.4 –...Read More

  From the blog “Does It Radiate?” by Juhana Harju:  Published August 11, 2019 (Translated from Finnish with the help of the author.) All images belong to the author. In the scientific literature, radio frequency radiation from wireless technology is considered as a form of environmental pollution ( Hardell 2019 ). In 2011, IARC, a cancer research institute under the...Read More

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2019.106324 9. Discussion and conclusion The breadth of peer-reviewed scientific research demonstrating biological effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) below current guidelines and standards highlights the need to further develop and codify pertinent building technology standards and guidance. Public health risks, accessibility needs, industrial liability and international precautionary actions indicate that RFR is an important performance parameter...Read More

A MP has started asking the government questions about the safety of the technology. The IFP’s Nsikayezwe Cebekhulu asked Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, if she was informed of the potential risk 5G posed to humans. Mapisa-Nqakula said her office was aware of risks associated with 5G, but the Department of Telecommunications...Read More

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mrgentox.2019.07.007 Abstract: Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) are not known as definite occupational carcinogens, but some studies have reported the genotoxic effects of these fields on cell lines. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of long-term occupational exposure to these fields on DNA damage. In this cross-sectional study, blood samples were taken...Read More
