The spectrum of frequencies used in 5G networks have been characterized as potentially human carcinogenic by the IARC. To better know the possible health hazards, it's important to know the risk classifications provided by the IARC for exposure to RF-emf protection shield. The spectrum for 5G networks is covered within this piece, in addition to Dr. Curry's conflicts of interest in the field.

IARC classification of exposure to RF-EMF in the Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans)

RF-EMF exposure occurs from many sources, including personal electronics, the environment (such as base stations for cell phones and broadcast antennas) medical applications) and occupational exposure. Worldwide, more than 5 billion people use mobile phones, and usage is rapidly increasing. Cell phone use is particularly significant in middle and low-income countries with more than seventy percent of adults report owning the phone. The use of cellphones is also increasing in high-income countries, with almost ninety percent of adults possessing one.

As per the IARC that exposure to RF-EMF may cause cancer in humans. But the data available today do not permit us to fully assess the risks of RF exposure. We are able to estimate the length of time exposure could cause cancer, should it occur.

Frequency spectrum used by 5G networks

There are several kinds of frequencies that can be used in 5G networks. Mid-band spectrum, for instance can be used to achieve high-speed capabilities, however it is not as effective in terms of building the penetration. However high-band spectrum can support speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This means it will be more efficient to 5G network in areas with dense population and busy venues.

The spectrum for 5G networks is contingent on the regulations of each country and international standards. For example, some countries operate in the 60-64GHz band, while others don't. For instance, in the United States, the FCC has reserved 7 GHz for licensing-free operation between 57 and 64GHz.

5G networks also will use higher frequencies than 4G. This is because higher frequencies offer greater bandwidth than lower frequencies. In the mmWave bands, for instance, have much more bandwidth than lower bands.

Dr. Curry's conflict of interests with industry

In August 2005 Dr. Curry contacted AI Life to seek an independent medical examination and medical record review. She also received an examination report from her primary doctor, Dr Goodkin, and a second report from Dr Glushakow. Both doctors did not agree with the findings of Dr. Goodkin concluded that Curry's knees were too weak to carry out regular commuting tasks. On January 18, 2006, AI Life denied Curry's appeal. On April 11 of 2006, she filed an elaborate appeal to this rejection. For her argument, she cited Dr. the Glushakow report and an ear from a new medical expert named Dr. Dabrowski.

Curry's first appeal cited the claim the company AI Life had rejected her medical records even though she claimed her condition was not a handicap. AI Life subsequently requested that her condition be evaluated by an independent physician, the Dr. James M. Lee an orthopaedic surgeon board-certified. In his February 2nd report Dr Goodkin found that Curry's impairment did not prevent her from working in a sedentary position. The report also stated that AI Life had not given Curry an ear modification that was reasonable for her condition.
