Development of the Microwave Syndrome in Two Men Shortly after Installation of 5G on the Roof above their Office

Abstract

Overview

The rapid deployment of the 5th generation (5G) wireless communication technology raises concerns due to the absence of comprehensive studies on its potential effects on human health and the environment. This case report focuses on two individuals who experienced significant health symptoms following the installment of 5G technology on their office building.

Findings

• Two cases are presented where individuals working near new 5G base stations developed symptoms characteristic of microwave syndrome, which includes headache, tinnitus, dizziness, balance disorders, concentration deficits, and fatigue.
• Measurements of Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR) were recorded in their offices, showing peak RFR levels far surpassing normal backgrounds, with office one reaching up to 1,180,000 μW/m2, office two up to 501,000 μW/m2, and office three up to 613,000 μW/m2.
• The symptoms were alleviated when the individuals moved to offices with substantially lower RFR levels.

Conclusion

This study suggests a direct correlation between the exposure to 5G RFR and the development of microwave syndrome symptoms. The findings challenge the current ICNIRP guidelines which are based solely on tissue heating considerations and do not account for non-thermal effects. It is imperative to acknowledge that lower RFR exposures, below recommended guidelines, can still pose significant health risks and provoke serious symptoms in previously healthy individuals.
