Zap made a couple posts today that got me thinking about 5G again, so I figured I would make a post.
I am extremely worried about the EMF from 5G towers alone (let alone the weakening magnetic field implications that Zap mentioned).
I've got to TriField TF2 and a GQ EMF-390, and while I've seen people on the Internet detail some of the problems with the former's ability to accurately measure low to moderate amounts of EMF, without greatly exaggerating, I can attest to the fact that one can at least use these consumer priced meters to measure relative EMF radiation, barring some gross underestimation of the calculus involved pertaining the length of the antenna and the wave length of the offending radiation.
For example, I can put my TF2 next to a router and take average measurements while moving it around the router at a very close range (1-3 inches) while the router is doing work (playing an HD video on a connected device 50 feet away), and then I can use that measurement as a "you definitely don't wanna be in this much EMF" benchmark, knowing that having that router right next to you would represent levels that are absolutely within the ranges shown, in multiple studies, to have drastic effects on your health, assuming you are in this territory on a long-term basis (for example, putting your head 3 inches in front of your router for an hour is not going to kill you, but doing so for years probably will, one way or another).
Using that router benchmark, I am able to compare that against ambient EMF in residential areas that have a large 5G tower nearby, and I can tell you, for certain, that you do not want to be living within a quarter mile of one of the large multi-array towers. The inverse square law pertaining to three-dimensional dispersion does not apply to these types of towers, and the reason is because they do not disperse equally in three dimensions; they each contain a series of targeted arrays, and each of these arrays targets a cone, so once you get a couple hundred yards away from it you are most likely well within the range of one or more of these cones. The levels of EMF that I've measured, depending on the distance from the tower, have ranged from 1/4 of the level to 3x the level of EMF measured directly next to a router. 1/4 doesn't seem like a lot until you imagine being in that environment for 10 years, and it's only getting worse as they had more towers.
The smaller towers, the ones that don't have visible array on the outside, that look kind of like a solid metal dildo sticking off the top of the telephone pole or light pole, they project equal or greater amounts of EMF than do the multi-array towers, but they appear to project equally in three dimensions, or perhaps in a circle horizontally; Either way, if you've got one of these, but it's 300 feet or further away, you are probably OK.
I would also add my own conjecture that I do believe some of these arrays contain phased array targeting capabilities, but I have no proof of this.
Would using Velostat help redirect EMF and 5G?
Some form of redirection could possibly work if it was quite a distance from you, but large metal objects that are big enough for millimeter waves to couple into will act as an antenna that receives and then rebroadcasts some other submillimeter radiation. For example, a large metal bedframe, especially if you have a headboard that is metal connected to it, measure the radiation coming from the headboard or any of the corners of the frame and you will find an amplified version of what you experience in ambient EMF in the area.
My experience is that the only shielding that works is steel plates close to the source or shielding paint or some expensive blankets with silver woven into them. Some of the fabric that you can buy is fairly effective, but not as much as you would expect given that it is basically solid metal threads.
If you are going to take any mitigating steps, I would purchase one of these meters and test before and after to make sure it had any effect, because there are many things that I've experimented with that had little to no effect and some things that I didn't expect to work that worked fairly well. One thing you can do right away as purchase a laptop EMF shield And place it standing up in front of your router between your router and where you are most of the time, it won't block the signal enough to prevent you from using it from medium distance, but it will attenuate the amount of energy drastically. That's obviously not gonna help you if you've got a big antenna outside, but at least you don't have to be poisoning yourself with your router.
Wow. Thanks for the advice. I am looking for mitigating options.
Absolutely, BTW check the original reply again because I added a new paragraph to the top after you read it (didn't realize you had already replied).
