My comment is I dont think much of peeople spreading unnecessary fear over 5G radio waves.
What about everything else that uses the frequency spectrum?
If all that energy using the frequency spectrum was calculated it would be way more than 5G combined all of the world.
Sunlight for example.
Mobiles phones put out 5 watts?
Digital TV, Dab+ and FM tramssions put out a lot more than 5 watts or a cell tower.
The radio spectrum is being used by both Nature for 13.7 billion years spreading radiation everywhere is spacetime and by humans since 1864.
The frequency spectrum that both humans and nature use reaches from 1 Hz up to KHz then up to MHz then up to 3000 GHz and upwards again where we cannot reach with our technology.
Electricity wires emit small amounts of radiation, so do:
AM radio stations
FM radio stations around 50 stations broadcasting from 87 to 108 Mhz
DAB+ radio stations – Melbourne has around 52 DAB+ stations DAB uses a wide-bandwidth broadcast technology and typically spectra have been allocated for it in Band III (174–240 MHz) and L band (1.452–1.492 GHz), although the scheme allows for operation between 30 and 300 MHz.

Short-wave radio stations
Amateur radio stations
3G and 4G networks
TV stations use the radio spectrum from 694 to 820 MHz. Melbourne Has lots of TV stations

WIFI signals
Satellite radio
CBs on 27mhz and UHF 470 MHz
Air band, Marine Band, Police Bands, Military comms, weather stations.
wait there’s more
Rocks under stress can emit radiation from 5 to 50 hz, earthquakes
solar radiation
cosmic radiation
natural radiation, uranium etc
lightning etc
Microwaves
Infrared heat
Natural LIght
Ultraviolet radiation
Xrays.
Gamma rays
Radar
Cosmic microwave background
Gravity waves ?
Auroras emit radio and energy from the sun
The Earth itself has a magnetic field around it
Stars that might blow up close to us etc
Just think how much energy the TOTAL amount of RF is across the whole frequency spectrum on a continual basis
Just being worried about a small part of the radio spectrum is nonsense, 5G is nothing compared to everything else.
I could have shortened that list to just “what about everything else” but I think that might have gone swoosh over Anti-5G campaigner Mercy Wolf
The frequency spectrum is huge.
One solution for people who are worried is to lower the TX power of the smart phone /mobile phone, that is if they have this feature.
My CB UHF handheld has three power settings of 0.5 watts, 1 watt and 5 watts
