As 5G networks expand globally, concerns over their potential health and privacy impacts are mounting. Despite assurances from telecom companies and some government agencies, independent scientists and activists warn that the rapid rollout of this technology ignores critical biological risks. Nations like Belgium and cities such as San Francisco have already issued moratoriums or bans on 5G, citing unresolved safety concerns. Meanwhile, emerging research suggests that 5G’s high-frequency millimeter waves (MMWs) may pose unprecedented dangers—from DNA damage to insect die-offs—raising urgent questions about its unchecked deployment.

How 5G interacts with human skin

One of the most alarming discoveries is that 5G frequencies interact with human sweat ducts, effectively turning them into miniature antennae. A 2018 study published in Environmental Research demonstrated that frequencies between 75-100 GHz can manipulate skin geometry, potentially altering stress responses. Since sweat ducts are helical structures—similar to antennas—they absorb and amplify these signals, raising concerns about long-term biological effects.

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and cellular damage

Dr. Martin Pall, a leading researcher on electromagnetic field (EMF) effects, has shown that EMFs activate voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) in cells, triggering oxidative stress, DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Unlike ionizing radiation (e.g., X-rays), which directly breaks DNA, 5G’s non-ionizing radiation disrupts cellular signaling, leading to cascading health effects, including infertility, neurological disorders and cancer. Pall warns that the pulsed waves used in 5G are far more damaging than continuous waves, exacerbating these risks.

Pulsed waves: A stealth threat

Smart meters and 5G infrastructure emit pulsed radiation—bursts of energy cycling thousands of times per day. Utility company documents reveal that smart meters pulse between 9,600 and 190,000 times daily, far exceeding safe exposure levels. Studies confirm that pulsed EMFs are biologically more disruptive than continuous waves, yet regulatory agencies continue to dismiss these findings.

Deep tissue penetration and animal studies

Contrary to industry claims that 5G waves only affect the skin’s surface, research shows deeper penetration. Swiss studies on cattle exposed to mobile tower radiation found increased cataracts in calves, suggesting prenatal sensitivity to EMFs. Similar effects in humans could explain rising rates of neurological and hormonal disorders linked to wireless radiation.

5G as a covert weapons system

Former defense industry engineer Mark Steele asserts that 5G operates as a directed-energy weapon (DEW), capable of targeting individuals with precision. Military applications, such as Active Denial Systems, use millimeter waves for crowd control—causing a burning sensation at high intensities. Steele warns that 5G infrastructure, equipped with dielectric lenses, functions similarly, raising ethical and legal concerns.

Firefighters and first responders at risk

Los Angeles firefighters reported headaches, insomnia and memory problems after 5G towers were installed near stations. Their union successfully halted further deployments, citing occupational hazards.

Other harmful effects associated with 5G, according to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, include learning deficits, heart conditions, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and mass wildlife deaths. These dangers stem from its high-frequency radiation and its biological effects on humans, animals and plants.

DNA damage and generational harm

Studies link 5G frequencies to mitochondrial DNA mutations, which can be inherited. Unlike somatic cell damage, mitochondrial mutations affect future generations, raising ethical concerns. Despite this, the WHO’s classification of radiofrequency-electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) as a “possible carcinogen” (Group 2B) downplays the urgency, influenced by industry-aligned agencies.

Phased array antennas: Blanketing neighborhoods in radiation

5G requires dense infrastructure—small cell towers every few hundred feet—to function. These phased array antennas emit focused beams capable of penetrating walls and human tissue. The long-term effects of chronic exposure remain unknown, yet deployment continues unchecked.

Insect collapse and ecosystem threats

Insects, crucial for pollination and food chains, are highly vulnerable to 5G. Studies show that MMWs elevate insect body temperature, disrupting navigation and reproduction. With 80% of insect populations already decimated, 5G could accelerate ecological collapse.

Space-based 5G: An inescapable grid

Plans to deploy 20,000 satellites for global 5G coverage would irradiate the planet from space, eliminating RF-free zones. Combined with geoengineering (chemtrails laden with conductive metals), this could create an omnipresent surveillance and control grid.

Internal re-radiation: The body as an antenna

RF researcher Arthur Firstenberg found that 5G’s ultra-short pulses generate “Brillouin precursors”—internal re-radiation that amplifies exposure deep within tissues. This contradicts claims that MMWs only affect the skin’s surface.

Insurance companies refuse to cover wireless risks

Insurers exclude 5G-related health claims, comparing wireless radiation to asbestos—a known carcinogen initially dismissed as harmless. Their refusal to underwrite telecom companies signals unacknowledged liability risks.

5G represents more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a paradigm shift with irreversible consequences. From DNA damage to ecosystem collapse, the risks demand immediate independent safety reviews. As activists worldwide push for moratoriums, public awareness remains the strongest defense against unchecked corporate and governmental overreach. The time to act is now—before the grid becomes inescapable.
