this is correct Stella.
All radio waves are electromagnetic waves and have some inherrant danger.
however if the power is low and if the frequency remains below a certain level, our bodies are able to cope. (Children less well). So it makes sence to just be a little careful. Things like not siting your baby’s cot next to your router - or switching off your router at night are all good advice - as is not placing transmission mast at schools. All good safe practice.
We should ask questions when a technology like 5G is rolled out very fast without any consultation. We should ask why they are pushing a technology which requires the cutting down of trees and antennas every few metres. Who is demanding this ?
Who is going to benefit?

a good start Ann. Did Alexa tell you how to do it?
Surprisingly Geoff I thought it all up by myself. Always was good at D.I.Y

More accurate to say that it can operate above 25GHz - however current deployment will concentrate on the sub 6GHz bands 5G NR frequency bands - Wikipedia - in fact, mostly sub 3GHz.
As for ADS; yes, sounds pretty unpleasant but not really part of this discussion (and I’ll bet can easily be blocked; the tin foil hat (or, more likely suit) brigade will be vindicated at last 
)
OK, fair enough - it’s just that scanning the list of claims I have a gut feeling it will only just barely make interesting and probably fall a long way short of disturbing.
Pfffff - topic muted 
Wow! I think you get a badge for a declared mute - Bravo! Simon. l think l will do the same as it’s all going over my tin-foil helmeted head.

muted, or burying head in sand. Is there a difference?

Simon just likes to let everyone know he’s bored with a topic and that we should move on… - (Pffff or ffs are his default signals of malcontent)
My response was an attempt at humour - obviously a poor one at that.

Huge one - I have important things going on in my life. You @geoff_faulkner don’t get to choose what I care about - you’re not even on the list.
Anyway - I quite like 5G (5th Generation) - not bad, catchy little ditty…not sure if they’ll be at Glastonbury but hey…
The “mute” option is available to all forum members…
I have used it on several occasions… Depending on the subject I’m muting… it brings relief to my soul… or it helps keep me sane…
Mute… Mute… and thrice … Mute…

Can we keep this polite please?
Actually, I don’t know why I added a question mark as not really a request…

Is there a button that has a hand covering the mouth ?
I ask because sometimes it’s so hard not to respond, is there a mute button or is it that one has to have the willpower not to carry on ?

Serious question… apart from Glastonbury… is there another outdoor music festival in UK… a friend used to the the lighting for one site … but I’m not sure whether or not it was G’bury…
Too many to mention really. IOW, Reading, Leeds and more.
Nope… I reckon it must have been G’bury… but well before 5G… so that can’t be the reason he is a little eccentric…

Going to Glastonbury won’t make folks eccentric Stella…these days they’re all hipsters.
In my day, it was all sex, mud & rock & roll…mostly mud, truth be told.
As for conspiracy theories…there’s loads of 5 G stuff on FB at present.
I tend to let folks express themselves as they wish, because we all think / believe different things.
For example, I find it easy to believe that Liz & Phil would have done for Di, as she became a liability…but my views change nothing.
Think what you think ; believe what you believe…it’s what makes the world go round.
