Scientists Call for Moratorium on 5G
After Study Shows
Regulators Ignoring Health Risks of Radiation
So those of you who may be left will rot away
because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies;
and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers
they will rot away with them.
Leviticus 26:39
The authors of a peer-reviewed study
published Tuesday warned
about the risks of exposure to radiation from 5G technology
and said their research shows
existing exposure limits for wireless radiation are inadequate,
outdated and harmful to human health and wildlife.
In an ICBE-EMF press release,
Dr. Lennart Hardell, an oncologist,
author of more than 100 papers
on non-ionizing radiation
and lead author of the study, said:
“Multiple robust human studies of cell phone radiation
have found increased risks for brain tumors,
and these are supported by clear evidence of carcinogenicity
of the same cell types found in animal studies.”
Hardell and Moskowitz —
both of whom are associated with ICBE-EMF and its study —
also blamed regulatory agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and
the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for ignoring the risks —
despite hundreds of studies
indicating the dangers of exposure to wireless radiation —
and called for legal action and increased public pressure.
According to the new ICBE-EMF study, the radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits established in the 1990s
by the FCC and the ICNIRP “were based on results
from behavioral studies conducted in the 1980s
involving 40-60 minute exposures
in 5 monkeys and 8 rats” —
after which “arbitrary safety factors” were applied ....
the limits set by the FCC and ICNIRP also ignore
“the past 25 years of extensive research on RFR”
which, according to the study,
“demonstrates that the assumptions underlying the FCC’s
and ICNIRP’s exposure limits are invalid
and continue to present a public health harm,”
and are based on false suppositions.”
These harms,
which have been observed even
below the assumed threshold SAR,”
include “non-thermal induction of reactive oxygen species,
DNA damage,
cardiomyopathy,
carcinogenicity,
sperm damage,
and neurological effects, including
electromagnetic hypersensitivity,”
plus “increased brain
and
thyroid cancer risk.”
based on science from the 1980s — before cell phones were ubiquitous.
Moskowitz cited specific concerns about 5G technology, telling The Defender:
5G has many new features never tested for safety,
including different carrier frequencies,
new modulation and pulsing schemes,
beam-forming,
phased arrays,
and massive MIMO [multiple input, multiple output].
Moskowitz wrote that the characteristics of such MMWs are different
than the “low-band” frequencies primarily used up until now
for cellular and wireless transmission.
According to Moskowitz:
“The transmissions can be directed into narrow beams
that travel by line-of-sight
and can move data at high rates (e.g., up to 10 billion bits per second
with short lags (or latencies) between transmissions.
“Millimeter waves (MMWs) are mostly absorbed
within 1 to 2 millimeters of human skin
and in the surface layers of the cornea.
Thus, the skin or near-surface zones of tissues are
the primary targets of the radiation.
“Since skin contains capillaries and nerve endings,
MMW bio-effects may be transmitted through molecular mechanisms
by the skin or through the nervous system.”
According to Children’s Health Defense (CHD),
more than 1,500 peer-reviewed scientific papers demonstrate
biological and health impacts
from exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
Moskowitz said. ...
But instead of addressing the issue,
the telecommunications industry
and its experts
have accused many scientists
who have researched the effects of cellphone radiation
of “fear-mongering” over the advent of wireless technology’s 5G,” he added.
( I personally wonder if the telecommunications industry has any type of financial vested interests?)
Moskowitz blamed the failure not just on the FCC,
but also on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“For more than two decades,
FDA officials have ignored the lack of consensus in the scientific community
regarding the safety of RFR,”
Moskowitz wrote in 2020.
“The majority of scientists who study RFR effects now believe
that current RFR national and international safety standards
are inadequate to protect our health.”
Dr. Ronald Melnick, ICBE-EMF chair and former senior toxicologist
with the U.S. National Toxicology Program
at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said:
“Many studies have demonstrated oxidative effects
associated with exposure to low-intensity RFR,
and significant adverse effects including
cardiomyopathy,
carcinogenicity,
DNA damage,
neurological disorders,
increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier,
and sperm damage.”
