It is hard to see them as any less nor more dangerous than radio or television signals, or magnetic fields around high tension electrical power lines or even household wiring. We have accommodated to all of these and couldn't live without them today.

I do believe that all of it deserves further study, but I don't see any reason to believe the newer technologies are any more dangerous than what has already come before.

you didn't answer my question, which was based on YOUR statement...

The cell tower antennas are adding additional EMF/RF, along with your cellphone, wifi routers, wireless smart meters, radio antennae, power lines, radar dishes (at airports), power stations, etc.

notice the bolded... so my question which was in reference to radio antennae, power lines, radar dishes (at airports), power stations...was

so what is it that you want..... to go back to the stone ages??
because with out radio, powerlines (which include your landline), airports, power stations..that is exactly where we would be... back in the stone ages

Probably has something to do with silicon, and non chemical use to clean my eyeglasses.

No plastic, thank you.

There was only one local optometry that cooperated with my request - It's name, The Big Sky Eye company.
That's the Big Sky Eye Care company, son.

Oh, sorry.

Thank you.

Who is they? And why would they need to do that? You give away all your privacy with social media and your cell phone or computer.

If its killing off the insects, what is it doing to us and other living organisms?

Plummeting insect numbers 'threaten collapse of nature'

And people are worried about climate change and carbon, meanwhile we're completely surrounded by invisible EMF and RF electro-pollution that slowly breaks down our DNA repair mechanisms and makes us all sterile. Sperm counts have collapsed by more than 50% in human men in the past few decades. EMF and RF is known to reduce sperm counts and cause sterility in men.

From currently available studies it is clear that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) have deleterious effects on sperm parameters
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30445985/
Not only that but is anyone studying the effects of being bombarded with all different types of RF simultaneously? First there was radio towers. Then tv towers. Now cell towers. We have wi-fi stations in homes and establishments. Then you get x=rays at a Dr office. You have RF from your home electricity wiring. What's the effect of all these at once on a living cell?

And it's not easy to avoid RF unless you live in a very remote location. If I purchase a house in a city I don't want beams of electrons shooting through my house that I didn't order. Yet communication companies are doing just that.

This reminds of when processed commercial food products starting coming out and it was ok'd by the FDA as 'safe'. Processed food is not healthy and proven to cause disease yet it's still for sale.

One of the touted purposes of 5g, because it's much faster, is that it will allow realistic VR. One use is a worker at home with VR can appear to be at a desk at the office around their co-workers. Just when a pandemic hits 5g happens to be available for remote work.

I can't believe 43 percent of people in this poll believe Electro Magnetic radiation is safe.

I suppose those are the people who choose to live in a house right under high tension wires (they hum) or next to the cell tower dressed up like a tree. Meanwhile every upper middle class or wealthy area has horrible cell service.

No that is far from conclusive judging from the disclaimer, like I mentioned the IEEE does extensive studies on the effects of radiation in conjunction with the medical community. There is no proof of adverse effects other than cataracts and that would be for people in close proximity mostly workers, radiation levels of transmitters drop off exponentially and are generally not a danger to the public.

Yes suns UV rays cause skin cancer (melanoma) unless you are speaking about tanning salons.

Yeah, well just send some astronauts to the moon, and then when they get back take a look at 'em for their lack of the Van Allen Belt protections.

The Starship Enterprise has shields.

For those in the industry;

One of the first things I learned in the Navy was not to stand near any antennas until equipment was shut down and lockout procedures were confirmed. Transmission antennas of any type can be a health hazard. It might cause a temporary outage of service to shut them down for maintenance but when any safety regulations are ignored, injuries could happen.

I don't need to see the video, This is one of those things which has been around as long as the technology has been here. I'm against the gubbermint getting involved, this could be handled at the local contractor level by scheduling maintenance at low demand times.

For those living within sight of cell towers, there was a similar concern with high voltage transmission lines in the '90's about electro-magnetic fields being generated with claims of everything from toothaches to brain damage and even cancer. As to the validity of these claims, opinions (still) vary.
