Karen (the Librarian) Health Aspects of 5G Networks One of the hot topics in technology these days is the implementation of 5G networks. Proponents of 5G cite advantages such as increased connectivity in medicine, industry and education. This implementation is moving forward quickly in many parts of the world. However, one question lingers in all the buzz and fanfare surrounding the 5G phenomena: Are there health risks associated with using 5G? If so, what are they? How can I know for sure? In preparing for writing this forum post, I chose to investigate only scholarly literature. I wanted to see if there was consensus among scholars in the field(s). I should not have been surprised by my findings, but I was. I will be up front and let the cat out of the bag. There was not consensus. So, one might ask, “Why bother to write anything more about this here in this forum?” My answer is that the quality of information and research upon which these opinions were based varies greatly. In this post I wish to describe some of the differences, and then share some quotes from the corresponding journal articles. I will present my findings, and you can draw your own conclusion. (Oh, by the way, I will be citing the source(s) of the quotes so please don’t be put off by that, ok? At the end I will include a list of sources. If any of you would like a copy of one of them, I believe that could be arranged.) Let’s begin with a statement in 2011 by the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). They stated that the RF EMF was “possibly carcinogenic in humans” (Di Ciaula, 2018, p. 367) (Scholarly journal article with over 60 sources listed in the bibliography). But, the WHO, the CDC, the FDA, the National Cancer Institute, and other well-known health governmental agencies, “all agree that there is no direct evidence that cellphone radiation is causing adverse health effects.) (Hackett, 2019, p. 2). (This article provides only statements or quotes from persons or agencies to back up its statements. There are no references to scientific studies.) However, “. . . recent studies have linked RF EMF with possible non-oncologic health risks, mainly in terms of reproductive, neurologic, and metabolic diseases. (Di Ciaula, 2018m p. 367) (Several recent studies are cited to support each of these health risks.) A big concern about 5G is that it’s operating at a much higher frequency than 4G. 5G RF waves do not travel as far, thus to make the frequencies available “there will also be an abundance of new antennas every few hundred yards to support the higher speed type of 5G. (Smith, 2020, p. 56.)(There are no sources cited here.) To continue, in an article by Lercher & Stock in 2019 (14 references to mostly scholarly articles are listed), we read that “various studies, empirical observations and patient reports clearly indicate interactions between EMF exposure and health problems. There is strong evidence that particularly long-term exposure to certain EMF is a risk factor for diseases. So all exposed persons are therefore clearly and compulsory participants in an experiments with a still uncertain outcome. Similarly, mobile communications- associated diseases, like addiction and orthopedic disorders increase in frequency and severity over time.” “Furthermore, the electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as possibly carcinogenic to humans.” (Lercher & Stock in 2019) Though I could provide more information, I have chose to give only a snapshot of the contents of the articles I read. I only read eight articles, but four of them have extensive lists of sources, some upwards of 30 references to scholarly, peer-reviewed write-up of research studies. I will conclude by quoting the conclusion of the article by Di Ciaula in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health (2018, p. 371.) Evidence about the biological properties of RF-EMF are progressively accumulating and, although they are in some cases still preliminary or controversial, clearly point to the existence of multi-level interactions between high-frequency EMF and biological systems, and to the possibility of oncologic and non-oncologic (mainly reproductive, metabolic, neurologic microbiologic effects. Biological effects have also been recorded as exposure levels below (emphasis mine) the regulatory limits, leading to growing doubts about the real safety of the currently employed ICNRP standards (Habauzit and others, 2014; Redmayne, 2016, Starkey, 2016). There is much more information that I could have shared, but will close this post. I leave it to you the reader to draw your own conclusions List of Sources Behreandt, D.
