INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Ofcom says its latest round of spectrum testing shows that 5G networks do not pose a health risk to the public.The regulator has tested
electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions from mobile and wireless equipment for several years and has now expanded this programme to cover the
bands that will be used to deliver 5G mobile services.At none of the locations it conducted such testing did it find any cause for
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
Campaigners argue the higher band frequencies and denser network architecture of 5G mean that radiation will be amplified.They argue this
this will result in a range of health problems, such as concern, and have urged local authorities and operators to cease rollout until
further tests have been conducted
This is despite the fact that the entire body of research available refutes these claims, while World Health Organisation (WHO)
recommendations are that 5G is safe.There have also been instances of disinformation and fake news
The poster included quotes from professionals claiming 5G caused reduced fertility, depression, disturbed sleep, headaches and cancer.The
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned the advert, ruling the claims could not be supported by scientific evidence.
