Comment on Redmayne, M.; Maisch, D.R. ICNIRP Guidelines' Exposure Assessment Method for 5G Millimetre Wave Radiation May Trigger Adverse Effects. 2023, , 5267.
This commentary critiques a prior paper claiming that Brillouin precursors from 5G NR and other cellular systems could cause tissue damage deeper than the carrier-frequency penetration depth. It states that the original Brillouin precursor theory was based on nanosecond ultrawide-band RF pulses in water and that this assumption does not apply to narrow-band cellular signals. The authors also report that the commented paper lacks an alternative rationale for harm and contains inaccuracies about tissue thermal responses to RF-EMF.
Key points
- Addresses claims that Brillouin precursors from 5G NR could cause deeper tissue damage than expected from penetration depth.
- States the Brillouin precursor theory originated from studies of nanosecond ultrawide-band RF pulses through water.
- Argues the ultrawide-band assumption is not correct for narrow-band cellular telephone signals.
- Reports that the commented paper offers no alternative rationale for Brillouin-related tissue damage from communications signals.
- Notes additional inaccuracies in the commented paper regarding thermal responses of tissue to RF-EMF.
