Is 5G dangerous?
Three cell towers were deliberately damaged this week, and there’s been a spate of this in recent weeks.
Officials suspect the vandalism is linked to people worried about the 5G network - with theories on Facebook spreading that 5G causes cancer, spreads Coronavirus and all manner of terrible things.
Ryan is joined by Adam Verrender, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Wollongong and is part of the Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bioeffects Research (ACEBR) human neurophysiology research group.
Adam explains what 5G is, how it works, and how it is not harmful to humans and cannot be causing any of the rumoured problems above.
People don't have a choice where the cell towers are based. I think that lack of choice puts a lot of fear into communities - they don't know a lot about this technology. It's technology we can't see or feel. Some people believe they experience symptons associated with this technology but after two decades of research we haven't found any association between symptons and exposure.
He then further disproves the theory that 5G causes cancer, by saying there is "no evidence for that".
