Is 5g dangerous or is just fearmongering?
In: Technology
It’s 100% fear mongering.
There are people who believe that all radio waves are ‘Dangerous radiation’ and that things like WiFi and cellphones will give you cancer. This is because they hear the word “Electromagnetic radiation” and immediately associate it with ionizing radiation, the kind that things like X-rays and nuclear power plants create.
5G in the US will be on frequencies around 6GHz-50GHz. Ionizing radiation starts at 30PHz (Petahertz, which is above Terahertz, which is above Gigahertz/GHz).
