Summary:

In summary, February 2020, BBC News reported that conspiracy theorists on

social media groups alleged a link between coronavirus and 5G mobile
networks, claiming that the Wuhan and Diamond Princess Outbreaks were
directly caused by electromagnetic fields and by the introduction of 5G and
wireless technologies.

Conspiracy theorists have alleged that the coronavirus outbreak was a cover-
up for a 5G-related illness. Professor Steve Powis, national medical director of
NHS England, described the stories linking 5G mobile phone networks to
COVID-19 as the "worst kind of fake news". Viruses can-not be transmitted by
radio waves, and COVID-19 has spread and continues to spread in many
countries that do not have 5G networks. There are no links between the 2
being exposed to electrical magnetic frequency and coronavirus.

However the underlining symptomatic effects of the 2 are similar. So similar in

fact the findings are surprising and could potentially go unnoticed. When
comparing the two common illnesses we do see identifying factors which co
relate and may potentially create some misconception. Thus being said i
researched a portion of what evidence i could find with any links to coronavirus
and with 5G mobile phones and electrical waves and found some remarking
information.

There are similarities regarding electrical waves and what happens if exposed
to electromagnetic frequencies. The impact of electromagnetic waves on health
has been clearly established by many studies in recent decades. In the vicinity
of mobile phones working in GSM mode with voice transmission, the electric
field strength ranged from 2.34-9.14 V/m. 7 V/m is the general adopted limit
to public exposure and through this analysis we found the electrical field
strength hit a high of 9.14 V/m.

In addition, it would seem that other sources of radiation than the most well-
known ones (mobile phones, digital enhanced cordless telecommunication
(DECT) phones, Bluetooth, base stations, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G) which statistically
show to be 2.34-9.14 V/m. We begin to recognize the impact on health when
the individual who use these devices start to produce strengths 7 V/m or
greater. When we consider how mobile telephones belong to the most
frequently used personal devices its time to study the magnitude of the
electromagnetic field (EMF).

 EMF measurements using Mobile Phones:

Objectives: The aim of the investigation and of EMF measurements in the

vicinity of phones was to identify the strength of electric field levels with regard
to various working modes such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G networks. I
compared Samsung, Apple and Nokia hand held devices.

Material and methods: Twelve sets of DECT (digital enhanced cordless

telecommunications) cord-less phones (12 base units and 15 handsets), 21
mobile telephones produced by different manufactures, and 16 smartphones in
various applications, (including multimedia) in the conditions of daily use in
living rooms were measured. Measurements were taken using the point method
in predetermined distances of 0.05-1 m from the devices without the presence
of users.

Results: In the vicinity of DECT cordless phone handsets, electric field

strength ranged from 0.26 to 2.30 V/m in the distance of 0.05 m - 0.18-0.26
V/m (1 m). In surroundings of DECT cordless telephones base units the values
of EMF were from 1.78-5.44 V/m (0.05 m) to 0.19- 0.41 V/m (1 m). In the
vicinity of mobile phones working in GSM mode with voice transmission, the
electric field strength ranged from 2.34-9.14 V/m (0.05 m) to 0.18-0.47 V/m (1
m) while in the vicinity of mobile phones working in WCDMA (Wideband Code
Division Multiple Access) mode the electric field strength ranged from 0.22-1.83

V/m (0.05 m) to 0.18-0.20 V/m (1 m) (the reference value of 7 V/m, adopted as

the limit for general public exposure).

 Formula:

The formula for measuring the electric field strength in the vicinity of different
types of cordless phones and mobile phones is as follows:

Electric Field Strength = E

For DECT cordless phone handsets: E = 0.26 to 2.30 V/m (0.05 m) E = 0.18 to
0.26 V/m (1 m)

For DECT cordless phone base units: E = 1.78 to 5.44 V/m (0.05 m) E = 0.19
to 0.41 V/m (1 m)

For mobile phones working in GSM mode: E = 2.34 to 9.14 V/m (0.05 m) E =
0.18 to 0.47 V/m (1 m)

For mobile phones working in WCDMA mode: E = 0.22 to 1.83 V/m (0.05 m) E
= 0.18 to 0.20 V/m (1 m)

These measurements were taken using the point method, where the devices
were measured at distances ranging from 0.05 to 1 meter without the presence
of users.

The electric field strength values vary depending on the type of device and its
proximity to the measurement point. DECT cordless phone handsets have
lower electric field strengths compared to the base units, with values ranging
from 0.26 to 2.30 V/m at a distance of 0.05 meters, and from 0.18 to 0.26 V/m
at a distance of 1 meter.

Device Models: Samsung, Apple and Nokia

DECT cordless phone base units have higher electric field strengths, with
values ranging from 1.78 to 5.44 V/m at a distance of 0.05 meters, and from
0.19 to 0.41 V/m at a distance of 1 meter.

For mobile phones working in GSM mode, the electric field strength ranges
from 2.34 to 9.14 V/m at a distance of 0.05 meters, and from 0.18 to 0.47 V/m
at a distance of 1 meter.

For mobile phones working in WCDMA mode, the electric field strength
ranges from 0.22 to 1.83 V/m at a distance of 0.05 meters, and from 0.18 to
0.20 V/m at a distance of 1 meter.

It’s important to note that these measurements were taken in living room
conditions and without the presence of users. The electric field strength values
may vary depending on the specific environment and usage patterns.

Diagnosis and Treatment of EMF Exposure

Chronic diseases and illnesses associated with non-specific symptoms are on

the rise, In addition to the added stress to work related causes that build
chronic stress in our work environments, physical or chemical exposures at
home are also what we are looking at. It’s necessary to recognize “new
exposures" like electromagnetic fields (EMF) into account.

Physicians are increasingly confronted with health problems from unidentified

causes. Studies, empirical observations, and patient reports clearly indicate
interactions between EMF exposure and health problems. Individual
susceptibility and environmental factors are frequently neglected.
 Cause and Effect | EMF

The evidence that long-term exposure to certain EMFs potentially is a risk

factor for diseases such as certain cancers, Alzheimer's disease, and male
infertility. It is recommended to treat EHS clinically as part of the group of
chronic multisystem illnesses (CMI), but still recognizing that the underlying
cause remains in the environment.

New wireless technologies and applications have been introduced without any
certainty about their health effects, raising new challenges for medicine and
society. For instance, the issue of so-called non-thermal effects and potential
long-term effects of low-dose exposure were scarcely investigated prior to the
introduction of the-se technologies.

Common electromagnetic field sources:

Radio-frequency radiation (RF) (3 MHz to 300 GHz) is emitted from radio and
TV broadcast antennas, Wi-Fi access points, routers, and clients (e.g.
smartphones, tablets), cordless and mobile phones including their base
stations, and Bluetooth devices.

Extremely low frequency electric (ELF EF) and magnetic fields (ELF MF) (3 Hz
to 3 kHz) are emitted from electrical wiring, lamps, and appliances.

Very low frequency electric (VLF EF) and magnetic fields (VLF MF) (3 kHz to 3
MHz) are emitted, due to harmonic voltage and current distortions, from
electrical wiring, lamps (e.g. compact fluorescent lamps), and electronic de-
vices.

Symptoms: In the beginning, EHS symptoms occur only occasionally, but over
time they may increase in frequency and severity. Common EHS symptoms
include headaches, concentration difficulties, sleep problems, depression, and
lack of energy, fatigue, including flu-like symptom.
 Cause and Effect | EMF

A comprehensive medical history, which should include all symptoms and their
occurrences in spatial and temporal terms and in the context of EMF
exposures, is the key to making the diagnosis.

The reduction of EMF exposure should also be extended to public spaces such
as schools, hospitals, public transport, and libraries to enable persons with
EHS an unhindered use (accessibility measure). If a detrimental EMF exposure
is reduced sufficiently, the body has a chance to recover and EHS symptoms
will be reduced or even disappear. A treatment approach that minimizes the
adverse effects of peroxynitrite has been increasingly used in the treatment of
multisystem illnesses - works best

Conclusion: The reference value of 7 V/m, adopted as the limit for general
public exposure. In the vicinity of mobile phones working in GSM mode with
voice transmission, the electric field strength ranged from 2.34-9.14 V/m at
r=the distance of 0.05, E = 0.18 to 0.47 V/m (1 m) at the distance of 1 meter.
Such common electromagnetic field sources: Radio-frequency radiation (RF)
measured (3 MHz to 300 GHz) at levels (ELF EF) *(VLF EF) and (RF) we found a
potential health risk and symptoms begin to show due to close proximity of
these devices. Such symptoms include headaches, concentration difficulties,
sleep problems, depression, and lack of energy, fatigue, including flu-like
symptoms.
