Introduction

Improvements in communication technology

• ver the last several decades have improved
• ur lives substantially. However, in some

respects, there is a dark side to these improvements … health hazards. It is well documented in the medical and scientific literature that electromagnetic radiation, including Wi-Fi, can be harmful to humans.

Y

• Dr. Devra Davis, who is President of Environmental Trust, made

some interesting comments at a 2015 University of Melbourne speech regarding how she came to be informed of the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation.

When you consider that the documented health issues have

• ccurred under 4G and prior generations of wireless

technologies, you realize that 5G frequencies, which are up to 100 times the frequencies of 4G, might be particularly

• harmful. This fact needs to be understood by more than the

scientists and medical professionals.

Conduct ing educat ional present at ions t o your classmat es and communit y groups would be an ideal way t o help educat e t he public on t his import ant issue and develop leadership skills at t he same t ime.
