Cindy L. Russell, 5 G wireless telecommunications expansion: Public health and <br />environmental implications, Environmental Research, 2018, ISSN 0013-9351 <br />• Radiofrequency radiation (RF) is increasingly being recognized as a new form <br />of environmental pollution. This article reviews relevant electromagnetic <br />frequencies, exposure standards and current scientific literature on the health <br />implications of 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G. <br />• Effects can also be non-linear. Because this is the first generation to have <br />cradle -to -grave lifespan exposure to this level of man-made microwave (RF <br />EMR) radiofrequencies, it will be years or decades before the true health <br />consequences are known. Precaution in the roll out of this new technology is <br />strongly indicated. <br />Noa Betzalel, Paul Ben Ishai, Yuri Feldman, The human skin as a sub THz receiver <br />- Does 5G pose a danger to it or not?, Environmental Research, Volume 163, <br />2018, Pages 208-216, ISSN 0013-9351, <br />• Researchers have developed a unique simulation tool of human skin, taking <br />into account the skin multi -layer structure together with the helical segment <br />of the sweat duct embedded in it. They found that the presence of the sweat <br />duct led to a high specific absorption rate (SAR) of the skin in extremely high <br />frequency band that will be used in 5G. "One must consider the implications of <br />human immersion in the electromagnetic noise, caused by devices working at <br />the very same frequencies as those, to which the sweat duct (as a helical <br />antenna) is most attuned. We are raising a warning flag against the <br />unrestricted use of sub-THz technologies for communication, before the <br />possible consequences for public health are explored" <br />Mobile phone infrastructure regulation in Europe: Scientific challenges and <br />human rights protection Claudia Roda, Susan Perry, Environmental Science & <br />Policy, Volume 37, March 2014, Pages 204-214. <br />• This article was published in Environmental Science & Policy by human rights <br />experts. It argues that cell tower placement is a human rights issue for <br />children. <br />• "We argue that (1) because protection of children is a high threshold norm in <br />Human Right law and (2) the binding language of the Convention on the <br />hUMJI/ husLorWedl4men ndc lkanlennaWwmpilabonuFresearch-studies-on- l-Wwermdia#onantl-h MV 12/20 <br />
