High Levels of Damage Have Been Discovered In Trees Near Cell Phone Towers
In Brief
- The Facts:Multiple studies have raised concerns about different types of unnatural radiation and how it's impacting not only human health, but environmental health.
- Reflect On:How are these
technologies able to continuously roll out without any safety testing?
Why are they still not required to go through safety testing? Would this
not be in the best interests of everyone?
One
strong theme among the citizenry of the world that receives no
mainstream media attention is the issue of cell phone towers and the
health/environmental threats they pose. There are thousands of
peer-reviewed publications in vivo and in vitro that make it quite clear
that electromagnetic radiation from our favourite gadgets, wireless
devices, as well as the cell phone towers all over the globe are having a
biological impact that’s a great cause for concern, or at the very
least warrant appropriate safety testing before we continue down this
path. This is something that has yet to be done.
This is exactly why a few years ago 200 scientists petitioned the United Nations to look deeper into this issue, to no avail.
Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes on the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life. (source)
Special note to our
followers: Is 5G safe? The 5G Health Summit, a worldwide call to
action, features the world’s leading independent scientists, doctors and
activists in the field. It’s going to be very informative and let
people know what they can do about it. It’s all online, you can sign up

Human health isn’t the only concern. In a study published in Science of the Total Environment, researchers found,

High-level damage in trees within the vicinity of phone masts. We found out that from the damaged side there was always visual contact to one or more phone mast (s). Statistical analyses demonstrated that the electromagnetic radiation from cellphone towers is harmful to trees. Results show that the measurements in the most affected sides of damaged trees (i.e. those that withstand higher radiation levels) are different to all other groups. These results are consistent with the fact that damage inflicted on trees by cellphone towers usually start on one side, extending to the whole tree over time.This constitutes a danger for trees worldwide. The further deployment of phone masts has to be stopped. Scientific research on trees under the real radio-frequency field conditions must continue.
The study lasted for 9 years and used more than 100 trees.
The field monitoring part of the study
was performed in Bamberg and Hallstadt (Germany). Observations and
photographic recordings of unusual or unexplainable tree damage were
taken along with the measurement of electromagnetic radiation.
In 2015 measurements of RF-EMF (Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields) were carried out. A polygon spanning both cities was chosen as the study site, where 144 measurements of the radiofrequency of electromagnetic fields were taken at a height of 1.5 m in streets and parks at different locations. By interpolation of the 144 measurement points, we were able to compile an electromagnetic map of the power flux density in Bamberg and Hallstadt. We selected 60 damaged trees, in addition to 30 randomly selected trees and 30 trees in low radiation areas (n = 120) in this polygon.The measurements of all trees revealed significant differences between the damaged side facing a phone mast and the opposite side, as well as differences between the exposed side of damaged trees and all other groups of trees in both sides. Thus, we found that side differences in measured values of power flux density corresponded to side differences in damage. The 30 selected trees in low radiation areas (no visual contact to any phone mast and power flux density under 50 μW/m2 ) showed no damage. Statistical analysis demonstrated that electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone masts is harmful for trees. These results are consistent with the fact that damage afflicted on trees by mobile phone towers usually start on one side, extending to the whole tree over time.
What’s also interesting is that the
study points out that natural forms of electromagnetic radiation are not
the same and do not have the same impact has unnatural sources of
radiation do on plant life. Several researchers have pointed out how
this topic has received little attention and these physiological effects
are being considered negligible.
The study also concludes that most
studies that have addressed the effects of microwaves on animals and
plants have documented effects and responses at exposures below limits
specified in the electromagnetic radiation exposure guidelines and it is
therefore necessary to rethink these guidelines.
Since 2005, on the occasion of medical examinations of sick residents living near mobile phone base stations, changes in nearby trees (crown, leaves, trunk, branches, growth…) were observed at the same time as clinical symptoms in humans occurred. Since 2006 tree damages in the radiation field of mobile phone base stations were documented.
Trees that were in the radio shadow of
buildings or of other trees remained healthy, because, the researchers
hypothesized, they were protected from the radiation.
The research on EMF’s and their
environmental impact is quite limited, and studies on humans show that
this type of radiation affects biological organisms, especially humans.
For example, a paper published in 2018 in Environmental Research titled “Wi-Fi is an important threat to human health” points out that.
“Repeated Wi-Fi studies show that Wi-Fi causes oxidative stress, sperm/testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes, and calcium overload.”
What About 5G?
When it comes to 5G, a study published in 2019 in Frontiers in Public Health is
one of many that raises concerns about 5G technology. It points out
that “novel 5G technology is being rolled out in several densely
populated cities, although potential chronic health or environmental
impacts have not been evaluated and are not being followed.” It goes on
to emphasize that the range and magnitude of potential impacts of 5G
technologies are under-researched, although important biological
outcomes have been reported with millimeter wavelength exposure. These
include oxidative stress and altered gene expression, effects on skin
and systemic effects such as on immune function. In vivo studies
reporting resonance with human sweat ducts, acceleration of bacterial
and viral replication, and other endpoints indicate the potential for
novel as well as more commonly recognized biological impacts from this
range of frequencies, and highlight the need for research before
population-wide continuous exposures.”
Information You Can Easily Send to Friends & The 5g Summit
We decided to produce a short, to the point free ebook called Is 5G Safe? An Easy To Understand Guide that
looks at the 5G issue VERY clearly and concisely. We wrote it in
language designed to be simple and factual. In our free ebook, we cover
the science behind health effects and environmental effects (trees &
insects, like bees) when it comes to EMF radiation from sources like
5G, 4G and 3G.
To help get this out to tens of
thousands of people, we collaborated with our friends at the 5G Summit.
You can download our ebook as a free gift you get when you sign up for
the free 5G Summit: Worldwide Call To Action that
starts on June 1st, 2020. It features some of the world’s leading
scientists, doctors and activists in the field. It’s going to be very
informative as well as let people know what they can do about it.
