The European Union prioritises economics over health in the rollout of radiofrequency technologies

Abstract

Overview

The study delves into the dynamics of the EU's deployment of the 5th generation (5G) radiofrequency technologies, highlighting the internal conflicts and priorities that overshadow public health and safety concerns.

Findings

• Discussion on the EU 5G Appeal which critiques the current safety standards overseen by ICNIRP which only consider thermal effects and not other biological impacts from radiofrequency radiation (RFR).
• Evidence from various studies pointing to biological effects caused by RFR that can potentially harm health, including impacts on neurotransmitters, cells, DNA, immune system, and an increase in cancer risks.
• Suggestions for more stringent guidelines which consider the broad spectrum of RFR's impact beyond just heating effects, including recommendations for lower exposure limits from independent scientific groups.

Conclusion

The paper urges the EU to revisit their guidelines and consider imposing a moratorium on 5G to assess and re-evaluate the health risks, particularly with the plans to roll out 6G technologies.
