5G: What’s the rush?
The rollout of 5G (fifth generation) wireless technology has begun in New Zealand. Its main benefit is massively boosted data flow essential for the ‘internet of things’ (IOT). Think artificial intelligence (AI): machine-tomachine wireless communication. Joining 5G’s lines of transmission will be an estimated 50,000+ satellites in low earth orbit beaming microwave radiation across the planet.1
This is happening despite no research so far proving 5G safe. Scientists opposed to 5G warn of its potential to cause serious health effects.
SERIOUS POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
A team of researchers (Kostoff et al) published a literature review this year showing evidence that exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) at levels used by wireless technologies can, over time, result in cancer, DNA damage, neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive impairments and ‘adversely impacts on neural, circulatory,
