5G: All The Light We Can't See
I've seen some posts in my circles about concernds for 5G and negative health effects. In this blog post, I'll discuss some basic Radiation Physics and why I'm not worried about health effects from electromagnetic radiation in the frequency bands that will be used by 5G. Disclaimer: I'm working in the 5G industry. This means that I'm familiar with the radio technology and some of the standards of 5G. I also own stocks in ERICSSON B. Excecutive Summary: 5G is most likely safe. The frequencies that 5G will use are far below the dangeerous (Ionizing Radiation) frequencies. As long as one stays more than ten meters away from a base station, the total energy absorbed (heat) will be below the ICNIRP recommendations.- According to WHO, no harmful effects of wireless communications has been found. Lights from lamps will deliver more energy to you, with much more energetic photons. They are safe, too. Light from the sun will have much higher power and photon
