People die of sun induced skin cancer all the time right?
But there can be 100 mobile phones in a room, or 100,000 in a football stadium I guess. I know exposure distance is a factor...
- jjoonathan 5y agoSunlight is much, much higher intensity than a cell phone, its photons are much, much higher energy, and it doesn't fall off to a tiny fraction if it is more than a few feet away. I am not suggesting that 5G is anywhere near as bad as sunlight. I am suggesting using sunlight to understand the trend the parent post was concerned about and to understand that many of the intensities employed by this study are not at all typical of a cell phone.
- ofou 5y agoThe problem that I see, it's that gel simulants are ineffective as a proxy to estimate health hazards for regulating this subject.
- jjoonathan 5y agoWhat methodology would you prefer?
- ofou 5y agoA cross-validated one.
- mr_toad 5y ago> People die of sun induced skin cancer all the time right? It’s not the heat that causes skin cancer. UV radiation is intense enough induce chemical changes in DNA.
- Johnythree 5y agoSunlight contains Ionising radiation (Ultra Violet, etc) while mobile phone radiation does not.
