What did the studies find?
The NTP studies found that high exposure to RFR (900 MHz) used by cell phones was associated with:
- Clear evidence of tumors in the hearts of male rats. The tumors were malignant schwannomas.
- Some evidence of tumors in the brains of male rats. The tumors were malignant gliomas.
- Some evidence of tumors in the adrenal glands of male rats. The tumors were benign, malignant, or complex combined pheochromocytoma.
The results are based on NTP’s four categories of evidence that a substance may cause cancer: clear evidence (highest), some evidence, equivocal evidence, no evidence (lowest).
As a follow-up, NTP published an article in October 2019 that evaluated DNA damage in three regions of the brain, the liver, and in blood cells in rats and mice that were removed at an earlier timepoint from the ongoing 2-year toxicology study. DNA damage, if not repaired, can potentially lead to tumors. This work was also included in NTP’s published Technical Reports, but this study includes analyses of the data in the supporting information not included in the Technical Reports.
NTP scientists found that RFR exposure was associated with an increase in DNA damage. Specifically, they found RFR exposure was linked with significant increases in DNA damage in:
- the frontal cortex of the brain in male mice,
- the blood cells of female mice, and
- the hippocampus of male rats.

5G Wireless Communication and Health Effects—A Pragmatic Review Based on Available Studies Regarding 6 to 100 GHz

Funnily enough, 5G isn't even about the frequencies it's about A.I. and deploying clusters of cells and taking the intelligence of the radio base further back into the core. It's a package of new standards, the frequency could easily be the same as in 4G and most of the benefits would remain.
Then new back haul to centralize the processing of cells and the A.I. are the most important features.
The frequency only affects the amount of data available for carriers, but since you can have clusters of cells working together, it can still be a big change even without that much of a rise in frequency.
I don't know how many real studies are there or what they say about the spectrum being used in 5G, but we always work around what is already defined as "safe", if frecuency is an issue it's really not that big of a deal to dial it back AFAIK.

Last I checked the sun wasn't constantly surrounding our whole body 24/7 for decades, for example.
But of course you are going to dismiss a recent study that found clear evidence of frequencies much lower than what we are going to use actually having an effect on mammals, that were considered completely safe and utterly unable to cause harm with an exaggeration that helps nobody.

i'm not gonna say that we know, but have we really ever known the effects of every piece of technology in our health?
Also, almost everything gets tied to cancer, fucking lab rats are specially sensitive to cancer and that hasn't been addressed either.
If this is really dangerous, PHDs and Master degrees in colleges would be running over each other to prove it. If there is no mass amount of papers saying it is so, i would probably agree with the consensus, it doesn't sound terribly prohibitive to do this kind of tests budget wise, most Universities could and would finance them.

If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.

Well, it kinda holds up pretty well in the age of information. How many know-it-all internet users we have nowadays?
If you are so worried about EM frequencies then know this, visible light is in several 100 THz range. Better not go outside then. I guess you don't even understand what radiation is and that ionising radiation is the one that has high enough energy to detach electrons from atoms in molecules which in turn leads to DNS damage - cancer. Conspiracy theorists really throw this word "radiation" around like they know what they are talking about. You get significantly stronger radiation from nature than from 5g.
As far as we know microwaves can only really heat up things due to how they interact with dipole of water molecules (making them turn up and down in synchronized fashion with microwave frequency) and because they can penetrate deeper. But you need significant energy density to have any noticable heating effect. Microwave ovens concentrate a lot of power in a very confined space to achieve this.
5g has significantly lower power density even when you are few centimeters away from a transmitter, not to mention that they are outside in the Open, significantly decreasing this density with more distance.
There's a common theme between conspiracy theorists - poor understanding of physics.

I posted a link on the fact that 2.4ghz WiFi is used to induce diabetes in rats for medical research
I also suggest you go put your head in a 240v 900watt microwave oven and see what happens. Or in fact go stick a knife in a live plug socket and see what happens.
Now imagine the 5g mast outside your house running at much higher frequency, sub millimeter wavelength and running through something called a dielectric lens.
All while it has been well known for years mobile phones are cancer causing, while running at less frequency, wavelength and what is the battery size? 2.4 volts and 25 watts?

So , let me get this straight, does anyone in this thread actually knows how mobile networks work and what actually is 5G?
Because i only read people talking about the frequencies when in reality that it's not even the best part of the technology and could easily be readjusted if found dangerous.
Edit: also, to anyone worried, if you don't live next to a cell tower, your biggest worry should be where you keep your router and your cellphone instead of the frecuency of the towers. Don't hold your phone next to your head after dialing if you fear radio signals and turn off the wifi of your router.

I do understand from a security and technology perspective 5g seems pointless. I'd rather have infrastructure to get fiber in more places. Use Airfiber where it can be used and finally use edge routers and wifi.
I don't understand millimeter wave technology but I do know the military has this:
en.wikipedia.org
"The ADS works by firing a high-powered (100 kW output power)[13] beam of 95 GHz waves at a target, which corresponds to a wavelength of 3.2 mm.[14] The ADS millimeter wave energy works on a similar principle as a microwave oven, exciting the water and fat molecules in the skin, and instantly heating them via dielectric heating. One significant difference is that a microwave oven uses the much lower frequency (and longer wavelength) of 2.45 GHz. The short millimeter waves used in ADS only penetrate the top layers of skin, with most of the energy being absorbed within 0.4 mm (1⁄64 inch),[15] whereas microwaves will penetrate into human tissue about 17 mm (0.67 inch).[16]"
en.wikipedia.org
"High-band 5G uses frequencies of 25 - 39 GHz, near the bottom of the millimeter wave band, to achieve download speeds of 1 - 3 gigabits per second (Gbit/s), comparable to cable internet. However millimeter waves (mmWave or mmW) only have a range of about 1 mile (1.6 km), requiring many small cells, and have trouble passing through some types of building walls."
5G from what I found is running up to 90GHz.

The biggest advances in 5G are the new backhaul options, you can connect directly into OLT's using PON as backhaul, and using clusters of cells with some coordination using machine learning, this was somewhat tried in 4G but it's natively supported in 5G phase 2 or 3.I do understand from a security and technology perspective 5g seems pointless. I'd rather have infrastructure to get fiber in more places. Use Airfiber where it can be used and finally use edge routers and wifi.

So the real jump in 5G it's making the cells easier to deploy and moving the intelligence of it further back into the core of the network. There are some other cool features, like sites automatically changing radiation power to diminish intra cell interference or helping each other to gain better cover of an area or even doing self maitinance of known failures that can be fixed by a reset for example.
In practice, the bulk of the 3ggp standard it's about having more cells, with better backhaul and easier deploiment, effectively giving better coverage in urban areas even if using 4G frecuencies for example.
So yea, it is somehow like having more wifi spots with fiber speeds basically, lol.
