The paper did a great job raising concerns about the limits of gel simulants to study potential health hazards. The '5G bad' is pointless. More studies are needed, specifically about the environment impact. Electromagnetic pollution is already causing insect population collapse at an alarming pace.
- jazzyjackson 5y agohow could you possibly pin it on EM radiation when there are so many other factors in ecosystem collapse?
- ofou 5y agoI pin it because there's evidence. What are you suggesting as the main cause?
- jazzyjackson 5y agothe main cause of insect death? the insecticide. more broadly, our collective penchant for killing everything that’s not corn or soy. insects are co-evolved to pollinate all the flowering plants of the world, and we’ve replaced a lot of flowering plants with farmland and concrete. so it’s no mystery to me what happened to the bugs. so what’s the theory with electromagnetism? only correlation i can imagine is the more urbanized an area is, the better the 4G coverage.
- ofou 5y agoInsecticides are the main vector of attack of course, they're designed for that. The problem is not identifying properly other substantial vectors. As a hobbyist beekeeper can confirm the impact of EM pollution. EM fields are a big deal for bees. I see trends like 5G-based satellite internet growing which are amazing technologies, opening fantastic use cases. But we should be more cognizant of its impact in the long run over the environment. BTW, high correlation with insect population collapse.
