With all of this 5G talk going around, I have a few questions. I would like to state- I am NOT someone who thinks 5G is any sort of conspiracy- I just want facts to be able to argue with those who do. (I have some relatives that are VERY against it) Moving on…
Everyone seems to say 5G is safe because it’s non-ionizing.
However, if I look at the elecromagnetic spectrum, I can see that Microwaves are also non-ionizing. I use microwaves every day to heat up my food. This seems like it would be dangerous to a human.
What’s the difference between these two waves (other than wavelength, obviously), and why don’t I have to worry about 5G towers hurting me?
I guess my true question is why don’t cell and radio towers hurt people? They must be high powered to travel long distances- but microwaves are relatively low powered home devices that absolutey can hurt people.

The key to your answer is power or wattage. A microwave oven is often 500-2000 watt range. A cell broadcast tower is typically in the 10-50 watt range. Your phone can transmit from 0.6-3 watt.
