While electromagnetic fields may be damaging, and there is not enough substantial evidence to say it definitively and perfectly safe, it does not mean that it is unsafe (and there just isn’t a lot of concrete evidence to say it’s a very serious hazard either). Risk reduction is awesome, and if something that might pose a harm can be prevented from harming people we should do that unless it poses some more realizable risk to not do it (like it might be more risky, harmful, or inconvenient to not have electricity in houses and hospitals, than the risk of the EM radiation poses). But that also doesn’t mean that EM radiation is also definitively bad for us.

THE MUSCULAR CLASS

As a 2 way radio technician, this is a fun subject for me. According to the FCC, normal ground-level exposure from cellular towers is much less than the exposure that might be encountered if one were very close to the antenna and in its main transmitted beam. Measurements made near typical cellular and PCS cell sites have shown that ground-level power densities are well below the exposure limits recommended by RF/microwave safety standards used by the FCC. The answer to Sam's question is, yes. RF exposure damage is cumulative. And UV is non-ionizing radiation, which is why people can get skin cancer from sun bathing a lot. RF exposure has been extensively researched and exposure from consumer devices and commercial antennas is extremely restricted by the fcc. Contrary to intuition, thats one reason there are cell phone towers EVERYWHERE. The power your cellphone puts out is maybe 200mW. Which is very low, requiring a tower to be within 2 miles or closer to get a marginally reliable signal.

As someone who worked in the RF emission regulation industry, there are a lot of people like this. I'll try to explain the essentials for those who want to learn more about RF radiation. RF radiation is non-ionizing, it does not alter or change DNA. The main reason why RF CAN be dangerous, though it almost never is, is due to user error. Essentially, RF heats up your body a little bit when you are exposed to it. This can be dangerous when exposed to thousands of watts of RF in close proximity. The eyes and the "family jewels" lack adequate cooling, so it is possible to become blind or sterilized. Likewise, it is possible to develop flu-like symptoms when exposed to high amounts of RF. For those who are concerned, iPhones/Android devices, or even WiFi routers, do not produce anywhere near enough radiation to be a concern. This is why it is possible to be in a classroom/office full of smart devices without becoming blind. In fact, I attempted to measure various devices around the office, but the radiation was too weak to be detected. Those who are most in danger are RF technicians. They want to work on as many cellular sites as they can each day, in order to maximize their bonuses; however, this often means skipping mandatory indoor emission breaks. The emissions on rooftops are dangerous, this is why there will be blue/yellow/red warning signs on the rooftop doors, as well as barriers surrounding the antennas. If you are going to be on the rooftop of office buildings or public garages, then make sure you are not standing near antennas - some of them are mounted to the sides of the buildings. This is only a concern if you're eating a meal there, since side-mounted antennas are facing away. The danger zone of antennas is a few feet in front of them, their emissions often take the form of a cone. It's worth noting that not all antennas are equally dangerous, yagis and omnis are pole-like antennas that are pretty weak, there are rectangular 4-8 ft antennas that can be pretty strong, and microwaves (dishes) can be quite strong. Nowadays, 5G is the main concern for a lot of regulation. 5G antennas can be VERY strong, sometimes spilling emissions all over the rooftop of office buildings. Though, as is the case with other antennas, 5G is not a concern to those that follow safety guidelines. Finally, RF emissions are not necessarily constant. It's common for antennas to not blast rooftops at their full potential, they are sometimes even turned off during repairs or rooftop events. So even if you have a very powerful antenna next to you, it is possible that you could do so and remain unharmed. If you are paranoid about RF, you can buy professional-grade devices, they kinda look like pagers. They'll beep if you're exposed to dangerous radiation. TL;DR: If you are not hugging rooftop antennas, then you have nothing to worry about.

@reav3rtm

11 ай бұрын

As someone who worked on BTS software for major telecom infrastructure provider, I will only add that engineers usually block cell administratively when working on rooftops or masts. Engineer does not need to be in close proximity of antenna to diagnose antenna problems so "site visit" is only really needed when something needs to physically installed or replaced. Network monitoring and RF diagnostic tools in telecom industry are so ridiculously sophisticated than everything can be and is done remotely.

Ugh. This is why education is important. If this dude had a solid educational foundation, he'd have known enough about physics, or biology, or chemistry, or heck even advertising (because that's all "5G" is: marketing) to know that there's nothing to worry about here. Makes me sad :/

Belgium didn't ban the sale of smartphones to children under 7. Belgium banned certain phones MARKETED to children under 7 in September 2013. So, like phones that look like toys and not phones. Normal phones (even with cartoon characters on it) still can be bought for kids under 7. This just was a measure because the government hadn't a clear answer if it was harmful or not. Not because it concluded it WAS harmful. It was just never revised when more studies came in. Just to put this myth to bed.

WIFI operates at frequency of 2.4Ghz which is 12.5cm wavelength which does not affect the human body in any significant way. We have had wifi tech for a long time where a lot of people are "exposed" to this for pretty much most of their day to day lives. If there was any truth to the harmful effects of this, we would be seeing an increase in cancer rates, health complications, mass die offs which could be attributed to this, but we dont. Countless studies including ones from WHO which specifically created a project for EMF have found no evidence of harm. In very select few studies on rats there was little discrepency from the consensus observed but it was mostly inconclusive and needed to be replicated and studied more to oppose the consensus. Most people dont understand radiation. Light is radiation. The important part about radiation is that its a spectrum, some of which is ionizing and some of which is non ionizing. Ionizing meaning it will throw electrons out of atoms which needless to say is worrying and fatal. Non ionizing radiation on the other hand can be harmful at high frequencies and shorter wavelengths because they can cause heating (like microwave ovens) and in some cases damage to your eyes because duhh. The frequencies for wifi and other wireless communication tech does not reach said harmful frequencies. I may have missed something out so I apologise but this is the gist of it.

that's ionising radiation. That's the end of the spectrum that is, in laymans terms "more powerful" (higher frequency, and frequency is proportional to photon energy) than visible light. Wifi uses non-ionising radiation which is the other end of the spectrum, the part that is **less powerful than visible light**. The part below infrared, not the part above ultraviolet. UV and above is the part with the cancer risk, which is why we have to carefully limit our exposure to X-rays, but radio stations broadcast far and wide all over the world, without any negative consequences to health.

@Muzikman127 Yes. That's what I said. High - intensity microwave and radio wave frequency HAS been shown to cause some neurological reactions, because they act as voltage-gated calcium channel activists, meaning they open neuron cell walls to the passage of calcium ions, and THAT can cause synaptic fatigue or insufficiency, leading to headaches, insomnia, etc. But, that takes longer exposure to a very intense beam of field. Nothing like a cell phone or radio. Something like the radar emitter on a battleship.

Sunshine consists primarily of radiation in infrared (IR), visible, and ultraviolet (UV) frequencies. Lasers also emit EM radiation in these "optical frequencies." The higher frequencies of EM radiation, consisting of x-rays and gamma rays, are types of ionizing radiation.

Other non-ionizing EMR: AM radio FM radio HD radio Satellite radio Sound itself Light itself Satellite TV The sun The moon Flying Many of these are many, many times the level of WiFi and cellular and nobody cares because, for the 947th time... it's understood to be safe at levels *far* above what the maximum output of routers and the radiation from cell towers are. I do love some of the proposed "solutions" to the "problem" by some of these people: "Limit your child's screen time to limit exposure." (Bruh, the device contributes very little to EMR exposure and you're still subjected it as long as the router is on.) "Turn your devices off when not in use." "Get your child tested for EMR exposure regularly." (I don't believe such a test exists? It doesn't seem to.) I did appreciate how quickly the caller folded and got defensive, though.

Hey MR crew, I really appreciate you posting this, while you may disagree with the caller, it's very big of you guys to still be fair about the record. It's not impossible that the same way some chemicals were correctly identified in the 1960s, it may come to pass that we later recognise other forms of pollution. Yes, sunlight has both ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, however between several forms of supposedly identical non-ionizing radiation, there's a hell of a difference between visible light, xrays, ultraviolet infrared and microwaves. Yes, many of the types of radiation are present in space naturally/ just sunlight, we get exposed naturally in various ways, but proximity to source of some non-ionizing radiation should be judiciously managed.

Telecommunications experts (who also staff and run the FCC) say that the risk is infinitesimally small-to-nonexistent, but I have seen oncologists and associated researchers who believe the risk is greater. At least in Australia I've seen this. The people with doctorates in mobile phone technology say it's fine, the cancer experts don't share that same high level of confidence about absence of harm. I know that sometimes it's true cell towers get blamed for supposed "cancer clusters" that would have emerged anyway just because sometimes case numbers bunch together slightly for no causal reason, but I don't see the harm in minimising unnecessary long and significant exposure of infants and children at least and limiting what must be unavoidable to what is genuinely necessary for a child. And maybe try a controlled trial... surely there's some ways that some trials wouldn't be completely worthless depending on how they were designed. But as Sam correctly said, just the simple visible light the devices put out, plus the social distraction and pressure they create, is enough of a concern for psychological health and development and sleep hygiene without even needing to worry about radiation.

I think what they really want to say is that this stuff is metaphysically tainted on their very, hyper-specific frequencies, so it doesn't need to be consistent or be contrasted to anything similar or identical. That is pretty much the insinuation when you keep wanting to keep complete focus on the narrow scope he's outlined and dismiss any broader implications. Also, a case study in motivated reasoning when he preemptively declares that the FCC are either a trustworthy citation or complete liars depending on what conclusion they came to, that he never followed up on.

Your guy got it backwards right at the last minute, and I'm glad he fixed it. Ultraviolet and above are ionizing radiation. Everything with energys below visible light is non ionizing radiation. There is some controversy around this, but it has long been known that ionizing radiation causes harm. Ionizong means it will destroy chemical bonds, causing genetic damage, as well as free radicals, free peroxide molecules, etc.. And ionizing radiation can cause tissue damage directly at known high doses, and random effects such as cancer, birth deffects. fetal death etc. Non ionizing radiation has not been shown to cause any of these, but there are some hints that living in and around strong magnetic fields such as power lines MIGHT have some adverse effects. Still not in the textbooks, though Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation, as an example.
