Another apocalypse??

Is 5G Harmful for Humans and the Environment?

Ever since companies started the rollout of 5G, the public reception towards it was not ideal. There were many allegations that came in 5G’s way, some even stating that a 5G network test caused the death of hundreds of birds in the Netherlands.

But the news was later classified as a hoax!

So are there any 5G health risks to talk about? The reason why many condemning 5G arise as a result of the extremely high frequency (Millimeter ware) that it uses which lies between 30Ghz to 300GHz.

Due to the high-frequency characteristics, the waves do not travel vast distances like 4G. Hence, antennas must be erected closer to each other to provide clear 5G reception.

We are not talking about a few more antennas, but a lot more, exponentially more!

However, these are not full blown cell towers that we are talking about, but low profile antennas that will take up only a fraction of the space of a regular cell tower. But the real question is does this technology pose health risks and environmental issues?

There are of course two distinct opinions to this question. Wireless company and even government websites such as CDC and EPA will lead you to believe that the radiations emitting from the 5G networks is safe.

But over 215 scientists from 40 different countries have appealed to the United Nations for urgent action to reduce the EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure emitting from wireless sources. These scientists also submitted a letter to the FCC, asking the body to consider health risks and environmental issues before rapidly deploying 5th generation wireless infrastructure.

All of these scientists have conducted EMF studies and published their results in peer-reviewed journals that show adverse biological and health effects caused through EMF sources developed by humans.First of all, let’s see what 5G is and how it differs from the current standard - 4G. This will help us understand why there are many complications associated with 5G.

1. Speed

This factor plays a critical role in your mobile browsing experience. If you want to stream in HD, a 3G connection gave you fair enough speeds while 4G can easily stream 1080p videos, granted a good connection.

In theory, 5G can offer 1000x times the speed of 4G. In essence, with good coverage, you can stream 4K videos on your phone, or have a bandwidth of 100 Gb per second.

2. Interference

5G uses frequencies that are not crowded with current devices. This is not the case with 4G and 3G devices as they use the same spectrum, causing interference or noise.

5G avoids that by using a different frequency which remains untapped. This will help in gaining better speeds, as well as very low distortion and noise.

3. Latency

It is the time delay experienced by the signal that travels from a source device to the target device. With 5G, we can expect to see close to real-time responses between devices, which is touted at 1-millisecond latency whereas 4G stands at 50 milliseconds.

This brings in multiple advantages to several different industries, like healthcare and aviation, where quick response is of prime importance. 5G offers a much lower latency than 4G, however, the exact values in real-life scenarios can only be validated after the official rollout.

4. Bandwidth

5G has more bandwidth than 4G, enabling you to connect more devices to a single internet port, like a router. This means that there will be no issues with overloading that normally become apparent when you connect a host of internet hungry devices to a single router.

This is going to be greatly advantageous for smart homes since it hosts multiple devices that need access to the internet which almost always uses your router for this task.

So, what do you guys think about it ?? It is important we share our opinions early ,so we can stop it , and make a better world for us! Together !!

We dont need another crisis !! 5G is a just the beginning !!! remember if this is bad for environment where is 6G, 7G,8G ??? IN TIME humans will develop a weapon that will blow our planet Earth !!

what do you think ?
