NOTE : \u00a0ISED<\/a>\u00a0extended the deadline to SEPT 15, 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The federal department responsible for granting the expansion of transmitters and towers, Innovation, Science and Economic Development (formerly Industry Canada) is asking for public comments regarding 5G technology\u00a0by Aug. 4<\/strong>. \u00a0 It is important that all of us express our concerns and ask for a moratorium on this proliferation.<\/p>\n

Please take a few minutes to help stop approval of 5G and microcells.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5G is the upcoming high-capacity wireless technology for exponentially more data transfer, and the Canadian government is asking for\u00a0your input<\/strong>\u00a0on its rollout. 5G will support on-demand immersive entertainment, the Internet of Things (IoT), self-driving cars and data streaming to your cell phone and other wireless devices. With dense infrastructure, we will all experience substantial exposure to its radiofrequency radiation. Health consequences may be substantial as well. C4ST thinks that we should look before making this leap.<\/p>\n

C4ST is recommending a moratorium on the rollout of 5G until the science and scientific gaps have been fully examined, and there is a thorough understanding of the health consequences of this new and untested technology, that will be added to the recent surge of exposure to 3G and 4G wireless radiation from today\u2019s myriad of devices.<\/p>\n

HAVE YOUR SAY<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 instructions are at the end of this article.
\nHERE ARE 10 REASONS WHY \u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Many radiation emitting antennae within meters of homes and schools<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Intensive infrastructure will be required because 5G technology is effective only over short distances, and is poorly transmitted through solids. This requires unobstructed paths between transmitters and receivers. Thus, many antennae are necessary, preferably line-of-sight. As a result, full-scale implementation could result in \u201csmall\u201d yet powerful antennae every 2 to 10 houses in residential areas.1<\/li>\n
  2. Concern regarding health effects<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 There is strong scientific evidence that the radiation we are now being exposed to from 3G and 4G has serious adverse effects on human health.2\u00a0The new spectrum proposed to be licensed has undergone very little research on human health effects. Neither Health Canada nor Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada can point to any peer-reviewed evidence-based science that shows 5G technology is safe.3\u00a0What we do know is of concern.<\/li>\n
  3. Cancer concerns<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 All radiation from wireless devices hasve been designated a Class 2B,\u00a0possible<\/i>\u00a0human carcinogen by the World Health Organization.4\u00a0Lead and DDT are in the same category.<\/li>\n
  4. Skin will be most affected<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 5G radiation is chiefly absorbed by the skin, the largest organ of the body.\u00a05,6,7,8\u00a0The importance of an informed, precautionary approach is magnified due to interactions between wireless radiation and chemical toxicants.9\u00a0As one example, some toxicants can concentrate in the skin, and interactions with wireless radiation may be one reason for increasing incidence of skin cancers on non-sun-exposed skin. 5G may magnify and accelerate this issue.<\/li>\n
  5. Adverse effects demonstrated in military applications<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 We simply do not know the full effects of the 5G pulsed frequencies. As outlined by the Environmental Health Trust we do know for frequencies just above 5G that \u201c\u2026the U.S., Russian and Chinese\u00a0defense agencies\u00a0have been developing weapons that rely on the capability of this electromagnetic frequency range to induce unpleasant burning sensations on the skin as a form of crowd control. Millimeter waves are utilized by the U.S. Army in crowd dispersal guns called\u00a0Active Denial Systems.\u00a010<\/em>\u00a0This is exploiting the fact that sweat ducts may act as antennae for sub-millimetre wavelength radiation, that can cause point heating and pain.11<\/li>\n
  6. Treatments with millimetre wave frequencies in trials have effectively treated headache, arthritic, neuropathic and acute postoperative pain.12<\/li>\n
  7. Inadequate safety standards<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Over 224 scientists from 41 nations, who have published peer-reviewed papers on the biological or health effects of non-ionizing radiation13, made the following statement on May 11, 2015: \u201cThese findings justify our appeal to the United Nations (UN) and, all member States in the world, to encourage the World Health Organization (WHO) to exert strong leadership in fostering the development of more protective EMF guidelines, encouraging precautionary measures, and educating the public about health risks, particularly risk to children and fetal development. By not taking action, the WHO is failing to fulfill its role as the preeminent international public health agency.\u201d14<\/li>\n
  8. While Innovation, Science and Economic Development is trying to sort our licensing issues, Canada companies are implementing 5G pilots:<\/strong>\n
