The effect of the influence of frequencies that can be used to build fifth-generation communication networks in Russia, known as 5G, will be tested on rats. About this on Wednesday, June 3, with reference to the materials of the Research Institute of Occupational Medicine. Academician NF Izmerov (Scientific Research Institute MT) reports "Vedomosti".
“In order to establish the maximum permissible level of radiation, the Research Institute plans to test cellular communications in the field and laboratory conditions, including investigating the effect of the radiation it creates on experimental animals (these are male rats weighing 180-200 grams). The experiment will last six months,”the newspaper said.
The investigated range is 450 MHz - 43.5 GHz. The results of the six-month irradiation of rats will be presented to the government of Russia, the Ministry of Health and Rospotrebnadzor. It is these departments that will decide whether it will be necessary to revise the rules for the operation of cellular systems and the hygienic standards for their radiation.
The introduction and testing of 5G in 2019 has sparked protests in various countries. In India, residents of the city of Malda protested against 5G towers a year ago, arguing that "the trees will disappear and women will become sterile." In the same summer in Scotland, the parents of several students of one of the schools refused to return their children to school after the holidays due to a 5G antenna installed next to the school. In the fall of 2019, several thousand people came out to protest in Bern, Switzerland. In winter, the country's authorities recommended that regional authorities postpone the installation of new towers. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a conspiracy theory has become popular on the Internet that it is 5G towers that provoke the disease.
The head of North Ossetia, Vyacheslav Bitarov, after an unauthorized rally in Vladikavkaz, when an ordinary cell tower was burned, said that local residents concerned about the pandemic insisted that 5G networks were part of a global conspiracy.
Video hosting Youtube announced the blocking of content with fakes about COVID-19, including videos with statements about the impact of 5G towers on the pandemic.
Against this background, the Russian Security Council continues to deny businesses the transmission of the frequencies required for 5G.
In November 2019, Dmitry Peskov, special representative of President Vladimir Putin for digital and technological development, told Fontanka that 5G networks would appear in St. Petersburg by 2022.
