Written evidence submitted by Electromagnetic Solutions Ltd

Parliamentary Committee Evidence Submission: Broadband and the road to 5G

Summary: I write this submission with 3 different hats on; firstly as a Veterinary Surgeon on behalf of the animals and the environment; secondly as an enforced but unwilling participant in the current ongoing 5G experiment, and thirdly as Managing Director of Electromagnetic Solutions Ltd – a company dedicated to providing proven scientific solutions in the home and office against the harm from all Electromagnetic fields (EMFs). As such I am in a fairly unique position to offer a broad perspective based on a specialist scientific understanding of what is being proposed. There is significant published peer-reviewed evidence, some dating back as far as the early 20th Century that EMF power levels substantially below the current permitted safety levels cause adverse biological effects, not only to humans but to all types of organisms including bacteria, moulds, insects, birds and mammals as well as plants and trees. These published papers have been ignored by ICNIRP, AGNIR and PHE for years which questions the impartiality of any input that these organisations may submit in evidence for consideration. The fact remains that 5G has not been adequately safety tested regarding the cumulative frequencies and power levels that we, animals and the environment will be continually exposed to. The number of satellites that are planned for launch threatens to turn the earth into the largest artificial oven that will ever exist. Russian studies on mm wave frequencies indicate significant pathological responses. The lack of western safety testing means that everybody, without exception, is being subjected to enforced exposure in a huge 5G EMF experiment in contravention to the Nuremberg Code that requires all participants to be willing, of their own free will, and to have given informed consent. It is impossible for anybody to be provided with informed consent when no safety testing has been performed. It is my individual human right to refuse to participate in this 5G experiment and it is my human right not to be forced to do so against my free will. On behalf of myself, other organisms and the environment I do not consent, and notice is hereby given that continuance of this experiment is in contravention of my Human Rights and in contravention of the Nuremberg Code. Peer-reviewed published history of biological effects and power levels.

Criticism of AGNIR, which for some inexplicable reason included members of ICNIRP who therefore had significant conflicts of interest when preparing their report published in 2012, has come from all corners of the independent scientific community which is well summarised by Sarah J. Starkey in Reviews on Environmental Health Volume31: Issue 4.

The Court of Appeal of Turin confirmed in a full judgment published on 13 January 2020 (904/2019 of 3.12.2019 , Romeo v. INAIL) the decision of the Tribunal of Ivrea of 2017. Judge Fadda considered that the worker’s acoustic neuroma (benign tumour of the head) was indeed caused by the use of the mobile phone for work. In his ruling Judge Fadda recognized that telephone industry-funded scientists, or members of the ICNIRP, are less reliable than independent scientists:

“Much of the scientific literature that excludes carcinogenicity from RF exposure, or at least argues that research to the contrary cannot be considered conclusive… is in a position of conflict of interest, which is not always asserted: see, in particular, on page 94 of the report, the Applicant’s defence (not contested by the other party) that the authors of the studies indicated by INAIL, who are mentioned by name, are members of ICNIRP and/or SCENIHR, which have received, directly or indirectly, funding from industry. P. 33.”

Insufficient Testing In the following You Tube video Senator Blumenthal interviews some of the leaders of the US Telecoms Industry who admit there has been no funding of safety research. https://youtu.be/ekNC0J3xx1w The EU SCHEER Statement on Emerging Issues (2018) document states in section 4.4 Potential effects on wildlife of increases in electromagnetic radiation admits that

“ the expansion of broadband with shorter wavelength radiofrequency radiation highlights the concern that health and safety issues remain unknown. Controversy continues with regard to harm from current 2G, 3G and 4G wireless technologies. 5G technologies are far less studied for human or environmental effects”.

It goes on to say “studies have not yielded clear evidence of the impact on mammals, birds or insects. The lack of clear evidence to inform the development of exposure guidelines to 5G technology leaves open the possibility of unintended biological consequences.”

However there is already research evidence to suggest that wildlife is already adversely impacted, such that an additional layer on top of what we are already exposing the environment to could have significant and potentially catastrophic consequences on birds, mammalian wildlife and particularly insects as the 5G mid and high band frequencies will approximate to their body size.

Currently used EMFs have been found to disable ants who are often used as an indicator of the effects of an influence in the wider insect population. High frequency, shorter wavelength EMFs will be even more devastating. Insects, especially bees are necessary to pollenate not only our food crops but all manner of plants in the environment. Disruption of their behaviour and their resultant inability to function threatens not only their, but our very existence and the whole ecology of the planet, especially given the intended unregulated numbers of satellites that are planned in order to provide blanket 5G connection everywhere. Where we now have approximately 1500 functional satellites in orbit, the number intended to be launched by 2027 is approximately 53,000, all of which will be dedicated to microwave frequency 5G. When no safety testing has been performed, and at a time when global warming is currently deemed unacceptable, I have seen no assessment of the impact of turning the Earth into the largest artificial microwave in existence. What impact might this have on our ozone layer or our weather? Videos of bees dropping out of the sky and lying dead nearby to masts are already to be found on YouTube, such as this one

Birds and other animals are magnetoreceptive, which means they can detect magnetic fields. They do this using cryptochrome molecules or maghemite crystals that facilitate navigation and migration. The rise in EMFs has been postulated as a contributory cause to Colony Collapse Disorder. Immune suppression by EMFs will facilitate infection by pathogens, which can often display accelerated growth in the presence of artificial EMFs. Birds’ feathers amplify the adverse influence of EMFs through a piezoelectric effect in the shaft of the feather that transports the EMFs deeper into the body cavities. EMFs can adversely impact bird reproduction and behaviour. One study which looked at the effect of a single Tetramast emissions found that birds nesting within 200m of it failed to raise any offspring, displayed behavioural disruption within the pair and reduced nest-building abilities. Nature has no concept of warning signs and the requirement to keep a distance from antennae. Wildlife are this exposed to both near and far field effects. Research found that longer exposure times were associated with greater effects. Once the full intended 5G infrastructure has been rolled out there will be no respite from the EMFs which research suggests would result in the severest effects possible. Many birds are insect-feeders. An adverse impact on the insect population has knock-on effects on these birds’ food supply. Research has already blamed reduced bird numbers on EMFs which suggests that increasing the exposure on the environment will cause a further decline.

Plants are also susceptible to the intended EMFs including reduced germination. Another paper found multiple interferences at the plant cellular level “after identifying the main exposure devices (transverse and gigahertz electromagnetic cells, wave guide, and mode stirred reverberating chamber) and general physics laws that govern EMF interactions with plants, we illustrate some of the observed responses after exposure to HF-EMF at the cellular, molecular, and whole plant scale. Indeed, numerous metabolic activities (reactive oxygen species metabolism, 훼- and 훽-amylase, Krebs cycle, pentose phosphate pathway, chlorophyll content, terpene emission, etc.) are modified, gene expression altered (calmodulin, calcium-dependent protein kinase, and proteinase inhibitor), and growth reduced (stem elongation and dry weight) after low power (i.e., nonthermal) HF-EMF exposure.”

To my knowledge no research has looked at the effects of EMFs within the home on animals commonly kept as pets. House cats by definition are exposed to all EMFs in the home. There is no reason to suspect that all mammalian pets will be adversely affected as detailed by Dr Martin Pall in the following 8 ways.

1. Attack the nervous systems including the brain leading to widespread neurological and neuropsychiatric effects and possibly other effects. 2. Attack the endocrine (hormonal) systems 3. Produce oxidative stress and free radical damage, which have central roles in essentially all chronic diseases. 4. Attack the DNA of cells, producing single strand and double strand breaks and oxidized bases. These can in turn produce cancer and also mutations in germ line cells which produce mutations in future generations. 5. Produce elevated levels of apoptosis (programmed cell death), events especially important in causing both neurodegenerative diseases and infertility. 6. Lower male and female fertility, lower sex hormones, lower libido and increased levels of spontaneous abortion and, as already stated, attack the DNA in sperm cells. 7. Produce excessive intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i and excessive calcium signalling. 8. Attack the cells to cause cancer. Such attacks are thought to act via 15 different mechanisms during cancer causation.

Dogs often spend considerable time in the home too. Cats, and most commonly kept dogs, approximate in size to babies and children and it is reasonable to consider that the EMF penetration is therefore comparable, meaning more organs are directly exposed to EMF influences. Growing individuals are similarly more susceptible to adverse influences and DNA damage than adults as with humans. With the higher frequencies of High band 5G, relays within the house will be required to maintain connectivity. These have been proposed within furniture and door frames. Together with the predicted average of 60 Smart devices per household, these additional sources of EMFs compared with what we currently have in houses, are brought in very much closer proximity to our pets inside the house thus exposing them and us to not only stronger but many more overlapping and cumulative EMFs. Cancer levels in pets have been on the rise. Considering the concurrent increase in EMFs, they must be considered to be a possible factor given that all other factors are likely to be relatively constant. When 5G download speeds exceed approximately 10Gbps this is sufficient to initiate Brillouin Precursor Effects which are induced currents very much deeper within the body. Phased array in order to create beamforming facilitates this phenomenon. This has hardly been studied yet remains a distinct and dangerous consequence of the intended 5G roll out. Wihlst 5G is often said to be safe due to poor penetration of the frequencies directly, this is primarily with regards to the electrical component of the EMFs, although electrical field stimulation of surface nerves in the skin and the ability of sweat glands to act as antennae, can propagate nerve signalling deeper into the body too. The magnetic component of EMFs penetrates further into the body and sets up induced currents as the body moves within the magnetic field. According Vladimir Binhi, in his textbook Magnetobiology very weak fields capable of causing biological changes. Organisms are not a linear system. Changes to voltage-gated ion channels and enzyme reactions are magnified throughout the body by their function and may also be propagated through Domain Coherence and Stochastic Resonance. Russian scientists have probably performed the most research into the effects of frequency on biological systems of any nation. They have performed experiments with microwave EMFs and found that 8mm wave (37.5GHz) caused irreversible disruption of sodium ion transport causing reduction in the loss of the membrane potential. This affect increased with time. Inability to properly maintain the membrane potential is inconsistent with health. Another study using 6.5mm waves found significant inhibition of immune function. Russia does not follow ICNIRP recommendations for setting their permitted safety levels which are in the order of 100 times less than the UK. Lloyds Insurance Underwriters no longer cover for EMF-related illness, putting it in the same category as asbestos, earthquakes and floods, which says what risk they consider it to be. There is evidence that as well as suppressing immunity, pathogens can be encouraged. Moulds have been found to increase spore output which can contribute to Sick Building Syndrome. During the CV19 outbreak in Wuhan, China switched off all 5G telecommunications nationwide and in addition, switched off 4G+ in Wuhan. For China to switch off 5G and 4+G in what was supposed to be one of its flagship 5G cities is a strong indication of the recognition of the immune suppression caused by these networks. In short, the intended roll out of untested 5G frequencies in considerably greater volume that will result from the IoT will expose people, animals, plants and the environment to potentially catastrophic consequences that threaten not only to disrupt health but the entire ecosystem of the planet. With the existence of Russian research suggestive of significant biological harm and in the absence of any adequate safety testing for 5G in relation to human or animal health or environmental impacts, the ongoing roll out of 5G must be halted and existing masts switched off pending proper independent research.
