Cell phone manufacturers interest to downplay the potential risks along with studies

As the aggressive 5G cell network rolls out, an alarming number of scientists and public health experts are highlighting the potential harms of immersing the environment with high-frequency electromagnetic energy.

It is in the cell phone manufacturers interest to downplay the potential risks along with studies that directly link them to brain cancer.

In 2017 the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued new guidelines to assist people to reduce their exposure to the risks involved in using cell phones.

TheWakingTimes reports: 5G is already known to cause unusual health disturbances and while many are working to derail this massive project, new research gives us extraordinary insight into the effects that cell tower radiation is already having on our health.

This technology is far from benign, and while scientists from both sides debate the potential for harm, more evidence continues to mount, suggesting we would be wise to reconsider our dependence on cell technology and upcoming 5G.

Firefighters from San Francisco say that they began experiencing an array of unusual side effects — after 5G equipment was installed in and around their firehouses.

Symptoms reportedly included memory problems and confusion. The firefighters say the symptoms only stopped after they relocated to different fire stations without 5G devices nearby.

It’s not just the firefighters, either. In Gateshead, England, scientist Mark Steele says that there’s been an uptick in reproductive issues and other health problems since the city’s new wireless streetlights were installed. Miscarriages, stillbirths, nosebleeds, and insomnia are among the consequences he’s reportedly observed in the community.

“We are seeing babies dying in the womb as these transmitters are situated outside people’s bedroom windows. It’s a humanitarian crisis,” Steele contended.

Further evidence suggesting harm comes from the recent Ramazzini study, in which researchers have confirmed what many have suspected to be the case: ambient cell tower radiation do have serious biological effects.The study looked at test rats who were placed in close proximity to cell towers, ultimately establishing a credible link to cancer.“

Researchers with the renowned Ramazzini Institute (RI) in Italy announced that a large-scale lifetime study of lab animals exposed to environmental levels of cell tower radiation developed cancer. A $25 million study of much higher levels of cell phone radiofrequency (RF) radiation, from the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), has also reported finding the same unusual cancer called Schwannoma of the heart in male rats treated at the highest dose. In addition, the RI study of cell tower radiation also found increases in malignant brain (glial) tumors in female rats and precancerous conditions including Schwann cells hyperplasia in both male and female rats.”

According to the study, the type of malignant cancers seen in rats are similar to the type observed in those attributed to cell phone use.

“These tumors are of the same histotype of those observed in some epidemiological studies on cell phone users. These experimental studies provide sufficient evidence to call for the re-evaluation of IARC conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans.”

At issue for some naysayers are the levels of safe radiation issued by the FCC, and whether or not cancers can occur when a person is exposed to levels which do not exceed these recommendations, but other researchers point out that the current cell tower system already exceeds these limits.

Furthermore, as stated above, the nationwide rollout of 5G is well underway, and this technology would drastically increase our exposure to cellular radiation, which would put children and pregnant women at even greater risk than they already are.

“This study raises concerns that simply living close to a cell tower will pose threats to human health. Governments need to take measures to reduce exposures from cell tower emissions. Cell towers should not be near schools, hospitals or people’s homes. Public health agencies need to educate the public on how to reduce exposure from all sources of wireless radio frequency radiation—be it from cell towers or cell phones or Wi-Fi in schools,” stated David O. Carpenter MD, former Dean of the School of Public Health at the University at Albany-SUNY.

David O. Carpenter is a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany, SUNY  [ = State University of New York], where he is the director of the Institute for Health and the Environment.[1] He is the co-editor-in-chief (along with Peter Sly) of the academic journal Reviews on Environmental Health;[2] and co-editor-in-chief of the journal Environmental Pollution.[3]

Education[edit]

Carpenter received his MD from Harvard University in 1964.[1]

Scientific work[edit]

Carpenter has authored more than 370 peer-reviewed publications and six books.[4] His research has included studies on adverse effects of hydraulic fracturing,[5] farmed salmon,[6] and electromagnetic fields,[7] and he has said that “up to 15 percent” of cases of childhood cancer might be caused by exposure to magnetic fields from power lines.[8]

This is particularly urgent because of current plans to place small 5G cell towers about every 300 meters in every street across the country.

“These 5G ‘small cell’ antennas will result in continuous exposure to everyone living nearby and everyone walking down the street.The increased exposures will increase the risk of cancer and other diseases such as electro-hypersensitivity.

Toxic Chemicals, Carcinogens Skyrocket Near Fracking Sites

The spikes almost certainly will lead to a cancer increase in surrounding areas, a study author says.

OIL AND GAS WELLS across the country are spewing “dangerous” cancer-causing chemicals into the air, according to a new study that further corroborates reports of health problems around hydraulic fracturing sites.

“This is a significant public health risk,” says Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany-State University of New York and lead author of the study, which was published Thursday in the journal Environmental Health. “

Cancer has a long latency, so you’re not seeing an elevation in cancer in these communities. But five, 10, 15 years from now, elevation in cancer is almost certain to happen.”

Eight poisonous chemicals were found near wells and fracking sites in Arkansas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wyoming at levels that far exceeded recommended federal limits. Benzene, a carcinogen, was the most common, as was formaldehyde, which also has been linked to cancer. Hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs and can affect the brain and upper-respiratory system, also was found.

“I was amazed,” Carpenter says. “Five orders of magnitude over federal limits for benzene at one site – that’s just incredible. You could practically just light a match and have an explosion with that concentration.

“It’s an indication of how leaky these systems are.”

The health effects of living near a fracking site have been felt elsewhere, according to separate research. A study published last month by researchers from the University of Washington and Yale University found residents within a kilometer of a well had up to twice the number of health problems as those living at least 2 kilometers away.

“The way fracking’s being done in these five states, it’s not being done safely,” Carpenter says.

For Carpenter’s study, trained volunteers living near the wells conducted air measurements, taking 35 “grab air” samples during heavy industrial activity or when they felt symptoms such as dizziness, nausea or headaches. Another 41 “passive” tests – meaning samples were taken during a designated period, not merely when levels spiked – were conducted to monitor for formaldehyde. The tests were then sent to accredited labs.

Not every sample exceeded the recommended limits. But in those that did – slightly less than half the samples taken – benzene levels were 35 to 770,000 times greater than normal concentrations, or up to 33 times the exposure a driver might get while fueling his or her car. Similarly, hydrogen sulfide levels above federal standards were 90 to 60,000 times higher than normal – enough to cause eye and respiratory irritation, fatigue, irritability, poor memory and dizziness after just one hour of exposure.
