The BBC reports that  phone companies (with which it has investments)  will most likely be  building 5G towers in the countryside.The incredible height of the towers, around 50 metres, is designed for the microwave beams (around 28 gigaherz, carcinogenic at close range) to be above  cluttering trees  that might block the signal. The Labour party sadly supports these proposals.I imagine the Tories do too.

Just as well you won't be able to get within 50m of it then.

Do you have any published evidence re the carcinogenic properties of that freq. radiation?

Not click-bait news articles, youtube videos etc.. but actual research papers published in a respected journal.

In reply to paul mitchell:

Shouldn't we be primarily concerned by the visual impact?

The Labour party and the Tories have trouble agreeing what colour the sky is. If they both agree that this is a good idea then do you think just maybe that this might be evidence in favour of what everyone was trying to tell you for 200 posts on the other thread - these things are, as best as science can confirm for us, harmless and really quite useful.

And what is this:

> The BBC reports that  phone companies (with which it has investments)  

Supposed to imply? That because the BBC has investments (I'll take your word for it) in companies backing 5G it is in some way.. more.. motivated to publish articles exposing the plans to build more masts? How does that make any sense? Surely they should be suppressing the information, shouldn't they?

Paul,

There really isn't anything to be worried about. Unless you climb the towers and suspended yourself in front of the antennas for a few days you won't be in any danger.

Note that most mobile phone traffic in the UK and Europe (anyway) has been transmitted at 23 GHz for the last twenty years and "landline" phone traffic at 4 or 8 GHz for decades before that and nobody's dropping dead because of it.

It’s the main cause of obesity but Big Diet are in league with mobile phone companies and the government and so all research in this area is swiftly quashed.

Why would the BBC have investments in mobile phone companies? I guess their employees' pension funds might be, but the BBC itself?

 jkarran 29 Nov 2019
In reply to paul mitchell:

From your link: For all those concerned now about microwave ovens, in comparison to radar guns, typical kitchen “nukers” produce an average of 2.4 GHz, less than 1/12th that of some radar guns, yet are still capable of causing immediate and drastic changes to the human heart from just three feet away, and with the door closed.

Nothing like a good technically illiterate piece of anecdote based pseudo-epidemiology with hints of government conspiracy to brighten up a Friday afternoon. The muddling of frequency, field strength and alarmist bullshit is a lovely little cherry on the top.

He quoted a few discredited, bullshit and withdrawn papers before.  He tends to favour a juicy title over reading the content and is, apparently, unable to read anything that contradicts his starting assumption so he is in a tizz as a result of confirmation bias.

Whomever it was who called troll is not far off right.

It has a well documented effect on your circadian rhythm and too much of it can definitely make it difficult to get to sleep. 

Only slightly higher frequencies than that have definitely been known to be carcinogenic, and for what it's worth I would advise against stripping naked and lying or standing inside a machine designed to emit that kind of radiation.

Paul, radar is in a similar frequency range and covers the entire country multiple times over. It has done for some years. The technology in 5g is nothing new, just the way it all works together. Second thread on this now and I’m honestly telling you; it’ll be fine.

More of a systematic review but it is in a respected journal: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(18)30221-3/...

In reply to paul mitchell:

Really? Your response to a request for robust sources of evidence is a photo on someone's Facebook page? 
 

At least go and find the source they pulled the graph from, rather than expect others to finish your research for you. Poor show.

a review of millimetre wave research: https://memoryholeblog.org/2019/01/07/5g-wireless-technology-millimeter-wav...

in summary: the peer-reviewed research demonstrates that short-term exposure to low-intensity millimeter wave (MMW) radiation not only affects human cells, it may result in the growth of multi-drug resistant bacteria harmful to humans. Since little research has been conducted on the health consequences from long-term exposure to MMWs, widespread deployment of 5G or 5thgeneration wireless infrastructure constitutes a massive experiment that may have adverse impacts on the public’s health.

I'm really fascinated by this.  The shallowest of scrapes into that reference shows it to be very far from a reputable scientific source.  It's a blog post drawn from the "Electromagnetic Radiation Safety" site, which in turn is a collection of conspiracy articles.  The whole is wrapped up to try to look like credible science.  It's not.

And yet folk like yourself and Paul will grasp on any suggestion there's a problem without so much as thinking about challenging the source; but won't accept or research the far better evidenced counter view.  Why is that?

The red lights on it at night are clearly to warn those who are in the know to stay away from it.  Alarming.  I live in fear

And don't even start about the Beryllium Gas hazards

On your previous thread I posted two very sensible suggestions for you.

1. Get outside and stop searching the web for conspiracies that make you worried.

2. Do the experiment in one of the videos you posted, so you can see for yourself that it's rubbish.

At that point you abandoned the thread. I was really hoping you'd taken option 1, but unfortunately not. How about you try option 2? It's an easy experiment that will clearly show that these scaremongers are making this shit up.

Quite! More than once I've received painful mutogenic 300nm EMR burns over half my body even though I was minding my own business many miles from the source, often well hydrated. It's scandalous. And that's just nanometer radiation, tiny. Imagine how bad the really big kilometre scale stuff like the BBC pumps out must be

Yes, I read that as well before you linked it.

But if JK is asking where the 5g doubts are coming from and means from the point of view of "the man in the street", consider that person's dilemma. One week it's an article saying there are reservations; the next there's one saying it's all ok.

Ay, that's my question. Historically they've served different purposes and none: cover for military testing, sowing social division, destabilising governments, discrediting commercial rivals... Not sure why I'm more suspicious of the 5G guff than usual but something about it doesn't sit quite right, it cropped up early and a little too organised or message disciplined when field trials started, but maybe it's just the world moving on around me, cranks got organised?

No -one, as I can see it. 

But while ever scientific journals, "quality" newspapers  and international bodies such as the EU and the WHO publish stuff which implies that it isn't 100% certain that EMF transmissions are harmless over the long term, who can blame the ordinary man for giving some credence to what he has read?
