Psychology Today: Radiation Causes Cancer in Rats. What About Humans?

An update on the science and how big telecoms emit a deadly smog of radiation

Excerpts from the article

"Clearly, CTIA does not want the public to think about the possible risks of cellphone use. This is evident both in its investment to suppress a public warning that merely summarized the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s mandated disclosure of radiofrequency risks as well as in the tens of millions of dollars that the association has spent lobbying the federal government on behalf of the telecommunications industry over the last decade." 

The telecommunication industry is poised to build an extensive network of 5G transmitters, saturating the environment with RF and EMF radiation in service of a new regime of internet-enabled devices known as the Internet of Things. Because radiation from these powerful transmitters can only travel a short distance, they’ll have to be placed close together and in close proximity to people. For some, the prospects are frightening. Last year, over 180 scientists called for a moratorium on 5G because of the health risks posed by adding even more radiation on top of 2G, 3G, and 4G. In the words of Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, Berkeley, “people will be bathed in a smog of radiation 24/7.”
