Canadian private/public collaboration panel provides an excellent report to dispel 5G myths
In Daily News Briefs by Wireless Estimator / April 30, 2020
Out of Canada comes an outstanding piece that lays groundwork for public understanding of 5G and dispels myths surrounding it. For something of technical depth, it is entirely readable. It’s a collaboration of Canadian equipment suppliers, associations and multiple country agencies.
The report notes that while 5G transmitters will require the creation of a large number of new base stations with a large number of transmitters, each transmitter will operate on lower power levels than 4G technology, resulting in a net reduction of RF exposure.
They are planning an even more detailed report this summer. You can register for a copy when it becomes available.
Their 5G Health & Safety panel includes: Jonathan MacKenzie, policy and research analyst for CWTA; Tim Singer, Director General, Environmental and Radiation Health Sciences for Health Canada; Marc Bouvrette, President of Gap Wireless,; Erika Zeroual, Communications Advisor and Media Relations for Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED); Stuart Nicol, Director Product Development at APREL and Ernest Cid, CEO of Wavecontrol.

Is it dangerous to live near a 5G cell tower?
The threats posed by electromagnetic waves are related to how close we are to the source, the density and the exposure time," says Marc Bouvrette, President, Gap Wireless. "The typical safety perimeter for a standard cell site is on the order of 3-5 meters whereas the typical height of a cell tower is 50+ meters," he continues, "so if we are 50 meters away from a transmitter that has been identified by Safety Code 6 regulations to have a safety perimeter of 5 meters… 10 times further away than the minimum recommendable distance”.

Are there specific health concerns about 5G vs. 4G?
"Contrary to misunderstandings about 5G technology and, in some cases, deliberate misinformation, there are no established health risks from the radiofrequency waves used in 5G networks in accordance with applicable safety standards," says Mackenzie.

"At this moment, neither ISED nor any other international body related to RF safety, like ICNIRP or WHO, has raised specific health concerns about 5G, other than not exceeding the currently established limits," he adds.
