People living near cell phone antennas have severe health issues and even phone companies don’t debate this. They are required to put health hazard warning around those antennas for certain perimeter and homes are not allowed to be built close to them. Unfortunately those limits are absolute bare minimum. There huge amount of “research” phone companies have funded to backup these minimum limits and no independent researchers would agree with it. For 5G, numbers of antennas are going to increase by 10X and if you live in city, there is very good chance you are not too far from it.
It's similar to radio transmission.
The closer some base station antenna is, the lower the power your smartphone needs to reach the base station. Having many base stations reduces the effective field power.
Modern LTE and 5G also has something that is called beamforming. Instead of shouting in all directions, the base station restricts the radio signal to the direction of the smartphone. Other won't hear the noise.
It's not correct that "faster data" means there's more "EM things" around us. Basically we use the radio transmission more efficiently.
tldr: if you wanna avoid radiation, be close to a base station where powersaving kicks in.
I'm not to good with low level stuff but this might go down to the famous wave/particle thing where one of the experiments that supported the particle explanation was that beneath a certain energy the radiation would not ionize a given material, however long they exposed it and however much radiation it was.
(Anyone who knows this better feel free to correct me, this is just what I remember from school when I'm maybe more than twice as old.)
Please describe by which mechanism dna molecules are damaged by non ionizing radiation (e.g. a cell phone tower).
To compare, your wifi router does a max of 4000mW transmission, which is 4W
The most I found was 1 watt which is allowed by the FCC
I think you have typo on the decimal points on the watts.
2.4 ghz tends to be 200mW, and 5ghz max tends to be 4000mW. I wanted to be as pessimistic as possible to still make my point.
Although with stuff like 4x4 MU-MIMO routers or dual network routers with one for 2.4ghz and for 5ghz, you could say it's 4 radios at once = 16W max. Radiation per inch of 4x4W power sources is different than one 16W source, so it's not 1:1.
If 5G is much worse than 4G I'm literally getting lead-lined underwear. It's already a bother to keep my phone sufficiently far from my brain and balls while typing this comment.
Then again, my sensitivity is way too high. I can also feel whether my microwave is turned on through the wall!
A single 60W incandescent bulb (which has about 10% efficiency for its lighting) transfers more heat to your tissues than a stack of 10 home routers.
Like the difference between a lightbulb and a tissue-penetrating laser strobe.
Your microwave is a Faraday cage, it's not supposed to let microwaves leak out -> https://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Leak-Detector/s?k=Microwave... something like this might tell you if it's damaged.
A double blind test where you are deafened so you can't hear it, and don't know when it's on/off, would be interesting.
Interesting... What've been your findings?
It works best to aim for an "HDR" effect (as a baseline, or when it's at all uncomfortable), so look around the sun and only for a small part of the time directly into the sun, aiming to make the sun more defined (vs. "overexposed white area").
For safe fun, use a candle instead. A real burning one, LEDs are Not Nice for staring at.
DNA single and double strand breaks.
Oxidative damage.
Disruption of cell metabolism.
Increased blood brain barrier permeability.
Melatonin reduction.
Disruption to brain glucose metabolism.
Generation of stress proteins.
Let’s not also forget that in 2011 the World Health Organization (WHO) classified radio frequency radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen.
