5G: How Harmful Will It Be for Humans and Other Living Organisms?

A lot of people are concerned about the use of 5G technology for connectivity. This is because a common presumption about 5G is that it produces harmful radiations which kill birds and also lead to people being diagnosed with cancer. To understand how this technology will actually affect us, first, let’s see how it is different from previous cellular technologies. With 5G, the networks would depend on radio waves to carry the signals which will be transmitted between your device and the antenna or mast. Since 5G waves travel shorter distances as compared to previous generation waves; they will require more antennas and transmitters to communicate in an area. To find out if more number of antennas and transmitters in a single area is going to harm us, keep reading ahead.

5G Radio Waves are Non-Ionising

As per a physicist and cancer researcher, David Robert Grimes, 5G radio waves are non-ionising. What does this mean? In short, radiation is classified into two categories – ionising and non-ionising. Ionising waves are short in wavelength and have a higher frequency which is dangerous for the human body. On the other hand, non-ionising waves are longer in wavelength and have a lower frequency, which is deemed safe for humans.

Dr Grimes noted that people should be aware of the fact that the visible light from the sun that we get exposed to every day is more energetic than the radio-waves. He further said that there is no evidence strong enough to suggest that wireless networks or mobiles can cause health problems because of radiation.
