• There are many harmful effects of radio-frequency electro-magnetic field radiation ("wireless radiation" or "RF EMFs") including:
  
  
  • increased cancer
  
  
  • DNA damage
  
  
  • oxidative stress
  
  
  • sperm/testicular damage
  
  
  • immune effects
  
  
  • neuropsychiatric effects
  
  
  • sleep changes,
  
  
  • hyperactivity
  
  
  • memory and cognitive problems
    
  
  
• Each of these effects are caused by exposure from emitting devices like Wi-Fi routers, cell phones, tablets, and cell phone towers.
  


• EMF effects are often cumulative and may be irreversible.

Health Canada maintains in Safety Code 6 that there are no long-term effects caused by RF EMFs, thus, the exposure limits are based on solely on heating (thermal) effects. However, there are numerous studies both experimental and epidemiological, that show the RF radiation below the regulatory limits can harmfully impact human health and the environment.

• 5G stands for "Fifth Generation" – the next step in the development of wireless technology.


• 5G is made up of low (600 MHz to 1 GHz), mid (1 GHz to 6 GHz, similar to 4G), and high frequency ranges (+20GHz or millimeter waves).


• 5G requires new infrastructure which includes adding more antennas to existing cell towers and installing thousands of “small cell” antennas. Any lamp post or power pole is a candidate to host a small cell antenna.


• The full 5G roll out will make it so that every home, every school, and every workplace is close to a transmitting cell structure, which will cause a significant increase to the amount of wireless radiation that we are being exposed to.


• The use of 5G would also introduce a new set of frequencies called millimeter waves. The U.S. Army uses millimeter waves in crowd dispersal technologies, where “the beam produces an intolerable heating sensation, compelling the targeted individual to instinctively move”.


• 5G antennas will emit a constant stream of wireless radiation, 24/7, 365 days a year.


• There has been no safety testing on long term exposures to radiation from 5G technologies.


• There are some studies showing significant harmful effects on wildlife and the environment.

In 2015, Scientists put together an International Appeal for more protective guidelines regarding EMF exposure, encouraging precautionary measures and educating the public about health risks, particularly risks to children and to fetal development.

The INTERNATIONAL APPEAL to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space has over 285,000 signatories from 217 nations and territories.

The Canadians 4 Safe Technology organization has created an Urgent Appeal to the Government of Canada to Suspend the 5G Rollout and to Choose Safe and Reliable Fiber Connections.

• The Appeal, with 6,243 signatures - 4 days after release (May 14 – May 18)!

Other cities around the world have called for a moratorium (a pause) on 5G until health effects are further investigated:

• Brussels Becomes First Major City to Halt 5G Due to Health Effects


• Switzerland halts roll-out of 5G over health concerns


• Town of Sutton First Resolution in Canada Calling For a Moratorium on 5G


• New York State Legislator Introduces Bill to Study 5G Health Effects (New York Assembly Bill 8637)


• Other large European cities such as Brussels, Florence and Geneva have urged a stop to 5G expansion

Precautionary measures to limit human exposure and raise public awareness:

• Historic Berkeley Cell Phone Warning Ordinance Wins in US Federal Appeals Court


• Israel Bans WiFi in Kindergarten, Calls to Limit Children’s Exposure

1) Minimize your exposure to wireless radiation:

• Use of wired connections, increase distance from phones, routers, and cell towers.


• Protect vulnerable populations (e.g. children and pregnant women)

2) Develop and revise regulations to take into account long term effects:

• Updates to Health Canada's Safety Code 6 are long overdue!


• Today’s regulations consider only heating (thermal) effects.


• Conduct independent studies on long term health effects to determine safe limits

3) Vote with your money. Stop buying the next wireless device and opt for safer tech (e.g. wired).

1) Write to your elected officials, medical professionals, schools, and anyone of influence.
