Radio waves, mobile radio waves, WLAN waves - these waves are all used to transmit information over long distances.
Because these waves cannot be seen, it took quite a long time for their harmful effects on humans,
animals and the environment to be recognized and proven.
The shorter these "radio waves" are, the more impact they have on living organisms.
There are now many people who suffer health problems from these technically generated waves.
Their clinical picture is called electrosensitivity and many can no longer live "normally" without
protective measures due to these reactions in the body.
For this reason, major organizations opposed to mobile communications have joined forces and launched an initiative.
The initiative wants to prevent further mobile radio waves from being introduced without first being
tested for their health effects on living beings.
Art. 118 para. 2 of the Federal Constitution should now read:
The federal government stipulates that millimeter wave frequencies may only be used for telecommunications purposes
once it has been proven that their use does not have any harmful or annoying effects on people and their natural environment.
The initiative committee writes on its homepage:
"With the introduction of 5G in 2019, the frequency plan was expanded.
New frequency ranges (26 GHz and 40 GHz) in the millimeter wave spectrum were also reserved for mobile
communications, which should enable higher network capacities and faster data transmissions.
Millimeter waves have a higher frequency greater than 24 GHz and much shorter wavelengths than frequencies currently
used for telecommunications purposes such as radio, mobile telephony, WLAN, etc., which are lower than 6 GHz.
However, the health effects of these frequencies are largely unexplored.
In 2019, politicians and industry assured that an introduction would only take place after a thorough review.
However, this promise has not yet been kept, as was the case with previous approvals of new
frequencies, where possible risks were hardly ever discussed.
For comparison: If drugs were the cause of electrosensitivity instead of radiation, they
would have to be taken off the market immediately.
What's more, they should have been thoroughly tested for safety before being introduced.
The millimeter wave initiative launched by the initiative committee can be signed until May 2027.
Help to prevent the new millimeter waves in mobile communications as long as their harmlessness has not been proven!
