Meeting the 5G Network Challenge:
Ringside Seat™
Podcast Series #4

RF Microwave Radiation and Building Biology: Causation and the Legal Doctrine of Foreseeable Harms: with Monika Krajewska, and panelists Olle Johansson, Ph.D. building biologist (Sweden); Larry Gust, Building Biology Institute; Carey MacCarthy, Art Therapist

Monika Krajewska

5G Ringside Seat Podcasts introduces the work of leading experts, working on the new frontier of 5G law, policy, science, technology, and innovation. Although the goal is to cause a redirect toward a safer, greener, more resilient, and life affirming national and international industrial infrastructure, many different perspectives are welcome, expressed by distinguished panelists, in a spirit of free, open, and respectful dialogue.

Important Discovery Question # 1: Aggregate Emissions and Their Effects: If there are multiple sources of exposure, for example from the Internet of Things, in homes or workplaces, or from neighbors, for example, 20 million milliwatts of EMFs, is giving each cell tower operator permission to emit EMFs without taking account the other towers also emitting EMFs, is intentionally ignoring the aggregate effects on people?

Important Discovery Question # 2: How best Building Biology Practices can constitute a standard of practice and failure to observe them, negligence.

Important Discovery Question # 3: What is the combined harmful (negative synergistic) effects, especially involving 5G of duration, distance, frequency, proximity, pulsations, and multiple sources (neighbor emissions)?
