About 5G / Cell Towers EMF

  • -Cell towers and 5G infrastructure have become the invisible backbone of our connected world, but they're also one of the most significant sources of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields in our environment.
  • -These towers emit RF radiation across a broad spectrum, from 600 MHz to 39 GHz, with the newer 5G networks operating at both traditional frequencies and much higher millimeter wave bands.
  • -What makes this exposure particularly concerning is its involuntary and continuous nature.

The SYB Research Database includes 2,503 peer-reviewed studies specifically examining 5g / cell towers electromagnetic radiation and its potential health effects. These studies have been conducted by researchers worldwide and published in scientific journals. The research examines various biological endpoints including cellular effects, neurological impacts, reproductive health, and other health outcomes.
82% of the 2,503 studies examining 5g / cell towers electromagnetic radiation found measurable biological effects. This means that 2052 studies documented observable changes when organisms were exposed to 5g / cell towers EMF. The remaining studies either found no significant effects or had inconclusive results.
