“There’s also a safety margin for that, a safety margin of 50.” “These limits are around 60 volts per meter,” Joseph says. That said, there’s also a massive safety margin. The 5G radiation measurements he’s taken are in lab situations and limited deployment test sites. Another: microwaves, which most of us use regularly.
One that stands out for me: TV and computer screens, which I use for upwards of 12 hours per day at close range. Same: Mobile phone base stations (6 V/m).Same: TV and radio transmitters (6 V/m).1.7 times more: TV and computer screens (10 V/m).2.3 times more: Microwave ovens (14 V/m).16.7 times more: Power mains not close to power lines (100 V/m).50 times more: Electric trains and trams (300 V/m).33 times more: Natural electromagnetic fields like those created by the sun (200 V/m).1,666 times more: Power mains close to power lines (10,000 V/m).So I looked for ways to compare them, and found nine researched and medically screened comparables on Healthline. If you’re like me, those numbers mean close to nothing. When you’re a non-user it goes to zero to three volts per meter.” “So that’s not possible in practice, but that’s kind of maximum. while you’re using it, for instance, continuously 100% streaming towards you,” Joseph says. So how much exposure do users and non-users get? That also means that living or working next to a 5G tower is less risky that it would be if the technology worked the same way as 4G. That’s higher exposure because it’s specific to you, but for less time because it’s only when you need it.Īnd others who are not using 5G get much less exposure. 5G signals are aimed, meaning that you get your own “beam” when you’re using 5G. Everyone and everywhere gets flooded with radiation because 4G doesn’t point to places it’s needed. In other words, 4G signals are non-directional.
