WEBVTT 00:00.273 --> 00:03.859 Professor Hecht—who, sadly, has since passed away—said as far back as 15 years ago: 00:03.859 --> 00:08.625 A distinction between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation is no longer justified. 00:08.625 --> 00:11.620 The damage is actually the same. It's just a matter of time. 00:11.620 --> 00:19.244 Now I would like to introduce the next speaker, my colleague Dr. med. dent., dentist Claus 00:19.244 --> 00:23.956 Scheingraber, a dentist and electrobiologist. 00:23.956 --> 00:30.030 And Claus Scheingraber studied mineralogy and dentistry in Munich. 00:30.030 --> 00:34.904 He paid for his college education by working as a nurse. 00:34.904 --> 00:41.789 He has been a dentist since 1977 and ran his own practice from 1981 to 2018. 00:41.789 --> 00:48.097 His focus has always been on holistic and biological dentistry, and on avoiding and eliminating toxic 00:48.097 --> 00:52.414 substances in dental treatment—such as amalgam and the like. 00:52.414 --> 00:56.688 He has also been actively involved in providing dental care to various nursing homes and 00:56.688 --> 00:59.532 residential facilities in the greater Munich area. 00:59.532 --> 01:01.789 And, incidentally, he has made a name for himself as a building biologist. 01:01.789 --> 01:10.962 In 1990, he founded his own construction and electrobiological consulting firm specializing in physical environmental hazards. 01:10.962 --> 01:15.527 There, he conducted surveys of residential and work settings. 01:15.527 --> 01:23.007 He is a founding member of the Arbeitskreis Elektrobiologie e. V., which was established in 1986. 01:23.007 --> 01:30.742 And since 1991, he has been the president of this important association, known as AEB for short. 01:30.742 --> 01:36.783 He has authored several articles in professional journals on the topics of electrobiology and building biology. 01:36.783 --> 01:41.846 He has given lectures and presentations on the topics of electrobiology and environmental medicine at universities, 01:41.846 --> 01:46.997 universities of applied sciences, adult education centers, and other adult education institutions both in Germany and 01:46.997 --> 01:53.180 abroad, and has also conducted independent research on the effects of electromagnetic fields on humans and the environment. 01:53.180 --> 01:58.212 He was a member of the DGUHT (German Society for Environmental and Human Toxicology) from 2011 to 2025 and 01:58.212 --> 02:01.585 chaired the Working Group on Physical Environmental Pollutants. 02:01.585 --> 02:06.020 He has been a member of EuroPAM since 2016. 02:06.020 --> 02:13.202 And in 2002, he helped launch the Freiburg Appeal and other appeals regarding the use of 02:13.202 --> 02:17.990 cellular communications and electromagnetic fields. 02:17.990 --> 02:26.381 In 2014, he was awarded the EVA—the Electrosmog Prevention Award—for his work combating physical environmental pollution. 02:26.381 --> 02:31.906 And since 2020, he has been working on his book project: “Electrobiology,” ... which will be finished when? 02:31.906 --> 02:35.256 You'll probably tell us about it later. 02:35.256 --> 02:41.203 His goal is always to have electromagnetic hypersensitivity recognized as an environmental hazard. 02:41.203 --> 02:46.598 He advocates for the establishment of exposure limits and the introduction of precautionary thresholds for preventive 02:46.598 --> 02:50.095 health protection, and argues that these limits must be lowered. 02:50.095 --> 02:55.024 And he's also in favor of establishing programs at educational institutions in fields such as 02:55.024 --> 02:58.496 physical stress in environmental medicine... and so on. 02:58.496 --> 03:04.358 And we are pleased to say that we were able to secure his participation in today's event. 03:04.358 --> 03:09.657 We also met during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. 03:09.657 --> 03:16.229 And I'm glad, dear Claus, that you're here today at the press symposium to share your expertise. 03:16.229 --> 03:23.982 And I can’t help but get everyone in the audience excited about your presentation on mobile communications and the 03:23.982 --> 03:29.766 increased health risks posed by 5G. The floor is yours, Claus. 03:34.519 --> 03:36.436 Dear Ronny, thank you very much for the introduction. 03:36.436 --> 03:42.322 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, in my presentation today, I would like to inform you about the physiological and 03:42.322 --> 03:48.828 health-related issues associated with cellular communications, with a special focus on 5G. 03:50.463 --> 03:54.663 Professor Bergholz has already explained it very well. Why do we need 5G? 03:54.663 --> 04:01.465 Ultimately, it is the latency—the transmission of signals from the sensor to the effector. 04:01.465 --> 04:03.851 Today, that's still in the millisecond range. 04:03.851 --> 04:09.469 The millisecond range is far too slow to ultimately enable autonomous driving and the 04:09.469 --> 04:13.125 autonomous control of devices without any issues. 04:13.125 --> 04:16.632 That's why we need 5G—and even 5G isn't enough. 04:16.632 --> 04:23.584 6G is already in development and will replace the 5G network after the 2030s. 04:25.843 --> 04:31.294 When we discuss cellular communications, the first thing we need to consider is the field strengths and 04:31.294 --> 04:34.643 energy densities associated with cellular communications. 04:34.643 --> 04:39.128 The current limit value, which is based on the Federal Government's 26th Ordinance on the 04:39.128 --> 04:41.977 Control of Environmental Pollution, is 61 V/m. 04:41.977 --> 04:47.104 Or, as Mr. Buchner has already aptly pointed out, we have just under 10 watts per square meter. 04:47.104 --> 04:52.330 The values here are in milliwatts because those are the biological units. 04:52.330 --> 04:57.881 As Professor Bergholz has aptly pointed out, the attenuation of high-frequency waves in the gigahertz range is 04:57.881 --> 05:04.167 significantly greater than in the megahertz range, so we need either more transmitting stations or longer ranges. 05:04.167 --> 05:12.927 ICNIRP is considering whether to increase the field strength and, consequently, raise the limit to 120 V/m. 05:12.927 --> 05:17.865 Please look at the remaining lines. In other words, starting from 10 watts per square meter, this means 05:17.865 --> 05:20.915 an increase to 40 watts per square meter for the body. 05:20.915 --> 05:26.851 Irresponsible with regard to human biology and human health. 05:29.765 --> 05:35.638 Well, what does it look like? How many transmission towers do we need in Germany if we want to 05:35.638 --> 05:39.051 provide nationwide 5G coverage for our population? 05:39.051 --> 05:41.559 A comparison with China is in order here. 05:41.559 --> 05:49.345 Shenzhen, a major city with a population of 13 million, needs 35,000 base stations to provide adequate 5G coverage 05:49.345 --> 05:54.910 throughout the city. Germany has a population of 84 million. 05:54.910 --> 06:03.377 As of 2019, 72,000 sites were needed to provide 3G and 4G coverage on the existing networks. 06:03.377 --> 06:11.628 Once 5G is fully rolled out, more than 300,000 base stations will be needed—as of today, there are 222,000. 06:11.628 --> 06:14.956 So we'll be reaching the 300,000 mark soon. 06:14.956 --> 06:19.565 By the way, with 6G, we can expect a further increase in the number of installations. 06:19.565 --> 06:25.546 It will get to the point where there will be a transmitter under every manhole cover, in every electrical distribution 06:25.546 --> 06:28.547 box, on every streetlight, and on every traffic light. 06:28.547 --> 06:36.935 That's the outlook for 2030 and beyond. All I can say is, from my perspective, "Cheers—here's to what's coming." 06:38.695 --> 06:42.086 Yes, do we have any alternatives to radio communication? 06:42.086 --> 06:44.816 I'd have to say, yes and no. We have to make a distinction. 06:44.816 --> 06:48.182 Industry, commerce, and the government cannot coexist. 06:48.182 --> 06:54.860 As already explained, industry and commerce require lower latency—latency that will be in the microsecond range 06:54.860 --> 06:59.377 with 5G, and perhaps even in the nanosecond range with 6G. 06:59.377 --> 07:04.851 What's not shown on this slide: this is very important, and the military is heavily involved in it. 07:04.851 --> 07:09.030 After all, you can sum it up in one sentence: Whoever shoots faster lives longer. 07:09.030 --> 07:16.398 But, of course, they deliberately avoid telling the public that the military is a major driving force behind this technology. 07:16.398 --> 07:20.766 Yes, there are definitely alternatives available to the general public in the private sector. 07:20.766 --> 07:29.536 Above all, as I just mentioned, we could reduce indoor private communication by 90% if we replaced Wi-Fi with LAN networks—that 07:29.536 --> 07:37.254 is, wired networks—and replaced standard cell phone or cordless phone communication with optical communication. 07:37.254 --> 07:39.549 As we all know, light doesn't pass through walls. 07:39.549 --> 07:42.440 From a technical standpoint, everything has been prepared, developed, and is available on the market. 07:42.440 --> 07:46.281 However, it is not being introduced for deliberate reasons. 07:47.847 --> 07:53.207 Yes, I'm now going to duplicate the image that Professor Bergholz has already shown. 07:53.207 --> 07:55.558 In my opinion, the slide on the right is very important. 07:55.558 --> 07:59.404 After all, the mobile communications industry would have us believe that, in the double-digit 07:59.404 --> 08:02.256 gigahertz range, microwaves no longer penetrate the body. 08:02.256 --> 08:06.992 To do this, please take a look at the black box on the left. 08:06.992 --> 08:14.099 If you've read the text there, you'll see that Professor Alexander Pressmann conducted experiments on rats as early as 08:14.099 --> 08:17.678 the 1970s to determine the dose required to reach an LD50. 08:17.678 --> 08:22.578 LD50 (lethal dose) refers to a lethal dose. It is a measure used in experiments in physics, chemistry, and 08:22.578 --> 08:25.331 other fields, where it is generally considered equivalent. 08:25.331 --> 08:31.027 When 50% of the test animals have died, maximum toxicity has been reached and the experiment is terminated. 08:31.027 --> 08:39.329 So, let's take a look at the figures. At 40 MHz, 20 W/m² was required to ultimately kill half of 08:39.329 --> 08:44.484 the test animals. At 40 GHz, it was only 40 mW/m². 08:44.484 --> 08:51.559 So, if you compare the graph on the right with the box on the left, you'll see a discrepancy here that cannot be reconciled. 08:51.559 --> 08:54.732 And we want to take a closer look at that. 08:56.902 --> 09:03.720 As Professor Bergholz has aptly explained, it is the energy that is carried by an electromagnetic wave. 09:03.720 --> 09:10.553 Every housewife knows that electromagnetic waves carry energy—after all, she uses a microwave oven to cook food. 09:10.553 --> 09:15.154 Well, there's no need to go into that in detail. Which EM wave causes the most damage? 09:15.154 --> 09:20.598 Yes, everyone is familiar with sunburn. The wavelength range associated with sunburn—that is, UVB light—is 09:20.598 --> 09:23.279 between 315 µm and 280 µm (in the micrometer range). 09:23.279 --> 09:27.793 If we look at the frequency range, it lies between 900 and 1,000 terahertz (THz). 09:27.793 --> 09:30.843 The penetration depth is now only a few micrometers. 09:30.843 --> 09:35.254 If we compare the penetration depths at 500 megahertz (MHz) and 2.4 gigahertz (GHz), they 09:35.254 --> 09:38.077 are still 1.5 and 0.5 centimeters, respectively. 09:38.077 --> 09:43.009 So, the industry's claim that microwaves in the gigahertz range aren't harmful to us is 09:43.009 --> 09:46.945 absolute nonsense and biologically irresponsible. 09:48.713 --> 09:55.185 Yes, what do we need to take into account if we assume that electromagnetic waves are hazardous? 09:55.185 --> 09:58.350 First and foremost: The dose is a crucial factor. 09:58.350 --> 10:02.580 Ultimately, dose is nothing more than intensity times time. 10:02.580 --> 10:06.208 Professor Hecht—who, sadly, has since passed away—said as far back as 15 years ago: 10:06.208 --> 10:10.956 A distinction between ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation is no longer justified. 10:10.956 --> 10:14.312 The damage is actually the same. It's just a matter of time. 10:14.312 --> 10:19.853 If I take a high dose, it doesn't take long to cause biological and health damage. 10:19.853 --> 10:25.820 If I take a low dose, it lasts a long time—sometimes even decades. 10:28.295 --> 10:31.965 However, as I said, there are other factors that are not always taken into account today and 10:31.965 --> 10:34.360 that many scientists are unwilling to investigate. 10:34.360 --> 10:39.424 The first three terms—frequency, wavelength, and power density—are actually characterized by dose. 10:39.424 --> 10:45.796 But it’s just as important to consider the type of modulation—pulsed or non-pulsed—the frequency bandwidth, as 10:45.796 --> 10:51.879 Professor Bergholz aptly explained, the pulse rate, the polarization—whether the wave is more vertical or 10:51.879 --> 10:59.007 horizontal—which affects us more while we’re sleeping or standing, something like that—and the rise time of a signal. 10:59.007 --> 11:03.802 How fast—how many dB are reached in milliseconds? 11:03.802 --> 11:12.607 It is well known that science even uses high-frequency holes in membranes today, and this is supposedly not harmful. 11:12.607 --> 11:19.747 Back in 1995, Professor Silny had already posited the following in his lectures: 11:19.747 --> 11:25.621 A high-frequency wave that penetrates the body is attenuated. 11:25.621 --> 11:28.902 The wavelength and speed of propagation change in the process. 11:28.902 --> 11:34.645 Unfortunately, he couldn't quantify it; the AEB tried to do so. 11:34.645 --> 11:43.627 Here is a graph. We used ourselves as test subjects and ran through a frequency range from 400 MHz to 2.2 GHz. 11:43.627 --> 11:53.824 In the process, we found that 90% of the radiation is absorbed in the 400 MHz to 900 MHz range and in the 900 to 2,000 MHz range. 11:53.824 --> 12:02.815 That's 99%, and from 2,000 to 3,000 MHz, it's actually 99.9%. 12:02.815 --> 12:08.877 This means that the higher the frequency of the wave, the more intensely it remains in our body—and thus the more 12:08.877 --> 12:12.147 intense the energy that affects our body and our cells. 12:12.147 --> 12:19.381 And Professor Buchner aptly said: “The actual mechanism of destruction is the destabilization of the cell membrane.” 12:19.381 --> 12:22.865 When the cell membrane can no longer maintain the balance between the inside and outside, cell 12:22.865 --> 12:27.568 damage begins. And that is when the disease begins. 12:27.568 --> 12:32.420 Yes, but Professor Klitzing (Dr. Klaus von Klitzing) also conducted experiments as early as 1999: 12:32.420 --> 12:38.047 So how does cell phone radiation ultimately affect our brains? And here you can see two charts. 12:38.047 --> 12:43.017 The graph on the left shows the data for a healthy, young person who sleeps well in a room 12:43.017 --> 12:45.614 free of cell phone signals—a field-free room. 12:45.614 --> 12:51.803 The graph on the right shows the same subject who was exposed to a cellular frequency for only three 12:51.803 --> 12:56.158 minutes and at only 1 μW/m², i.e., a very low power density. 12:56.158 --> 12:59.901 In the image on the right, you can see a huge signal at 10 hertz. 12:59.901 --> 13:04.013 In an EEG, 10 hertz is the signal that characterizes a patient who is waking up. 13:04.013 --> 13:07.590 This patient will say the next day that he didn't sleep well. 13:07.590 --> 13:09.760 Well, a bad night's sleep doesn't necessarily make you sick. 13:09.760 --> 13:15.334 But if you sleep poorly for many years, there will be consequences. 13:15.334 --> 13:19.297 And that's what we tried to track using nighttime sleep profiles. 13:19.297 --> 13:24.369 Over the years, the AEB has studied a number of people to determine what their sleep patterns look like. 13:24.369 --> 13:28.521 Unfortunately, I don't have time to explain a sleep profile to you in detail. 13:28.521 --> 13:36.775 But I just want to tell you this much: There are five stages of sleep, ranging from Stage 1 (awake) to Stage 5. 13:36.775 --> 13:40.807 During this time, our sleep stages ultimately alternate back and forth. 13:40.807 --> 13:44.547 During the middle part of the sleep cycle, the deep sleep phases become shallower. 13:44.547 --> 13:47.216 Only moderate sleep phases occur now. 13:47.216 --> 13:50.375 And during the waking phase, sleep is actually mostly just light sleep. REM sleep is the 13:50.375 --> 13:52.410 most common type of sleep during this phase. 13:52.410 --> 13:58.006 This image shows a healthy person sleeping in a field-free environment. 13:58.006 --> 14:02.418 And now I'm going to show you a picture of a terminally ill person. 14:02.418 --> 14:08.476 I don't think I need to explain to you—even as a layperson—that this sleep profile has nothing to do with what was shown earlier. 14:08.476 --> 14:12.026 Nothing is the same anymore. There is no longer a deep sleep phase. 14:12.026 --> 14:15.621 There are only sleep phases between the wakefulness phase and the deep sleep phase. 14:15.621 --> 14:22.592 This is actually called regulatory rigidity. You can also observe this phenomenon in HRV, or heart rate variability. 14:22.592 --> 14:28.082 This situation is life-threatening. I hate to say it, but I'm saying it publicly for the first time now. 14:28.082 --> 14:32.072 Some of these patients died within half a year. 14:34.480 --> 14:37.956 Yes, the effect of 5G radiation on the blood. 14:37.956 --> 14:41.084 Due to time constraints, I won't go into detail about the individual studies here. 14:41.084 --> 14:43.500 I just want to show you that there are plenty of studies. 14:43.500 --> 14:45.718 You can read all of them for yourself online. 14:45.718 --> 14:49.422 I'd like to show you what the consequences of this are. 14:49.422 --> 14:53.809 This is an American study, specifically one conducted prior to the introduction of 14:53.809 --> 14:56.842 radio-based meters—in this case, electricity meters. 14:56.842 --> 15:01.330 Blood samples were taken from the participants beforehand and analyzed, specifically to examine the red blood cells. 15:01.330 --> 15:05.375 Specifically, whether any morphological changes have occurred in these blood cells. You can see the 15:05.375 --> 15:07.079 top row, which shows the condition before admission. 15:07.079 --> 15:12.593 You can see beautiful, round erythrocytes—that is, red blood cells—under a dark-field microscope. 15:12.593 --> 15:16.222 Then the radio measurement devices were installed, and then blood samples were taken from 15:16.222 --> 15:18.525 them again. Now take a look at the bottom row. 15:18.525 --> 15:22.488 This means that the rounding has broken down; in some places, the cell wall is cracking open, and in the image 15:22.488 --> 15:24.287 on the far right, we see the formation of money rolls. 15:24.287 --> 15:26.580 That might be an absolutely pathological finding. 15:26.580 --> 15:32.909 The formation of fat rolls is also an indicator of a tendency to have a heart attack. 15:32.909 --> 15:36.043 Yes, the impact of 5G radiation on the studies. 15:36.043 --> 15:40.997 I don't want to go into detail about the slide; it would just take up my time. 15:40.997 --> 15:47.347 You can research and look up everything yourself online and then make your own judgment. 15:47.347 --> 15:52.048 An important study that I would like to discuss in detail is one from Salford, specifically from 2003. 15:52.048 --> 15:55.827 He studied rats and wanted to see what effects radiation would have. 15:55.827 --> 16:01.887 He irradiated rats with three different doses and then examined them. But he did something unusual. 16:01.887 --> 16:06.986 In such scientific experiments, the rats—or mice—are usually killed after the exposure period 16:06.986 --> 16:10.240 ends, and their brains or organ samples are examined. 16:10.240 --> 16:12.177 And then, of course, you don't find anything. Why? 16:12.177 --> 16:16.100 After all, it's not ionizing radiation. Salford came up with the key idea. 16:16.100 --> 16:19.202 He said that you actually have to wait out what's called a "degeneration period." 16:19.202 --> 16:22.790 Because weak radiation takes a certain amount of time to cause damage. 16:22.790 --> 16:25.467 That's exactly what he did. He left the rats there for 50 days. 16:25.467 --> 16:30.379 And then you'll see something like the image on the right. The image on the right. 16:33.788 --> 16:36.776 Here you can see the pathological brains of rats. 16:36.776 --> 16:41.204 These dark spots are what are known as necrotic foci. They are areas of brain damage. 16:41.204 --> 16:45.612 It is interesting to note that the rats did not exhibit any behavioral abnormalities. 16:45.612 --> 16:50.730 You can certainly observe the same thing in people as well. 16:50.730 --> 16:53.843 Yes. Freedom of research is important to me. 16:53.843 --> 17:00.185 I had the opportunity to read an interesting interview with Prof. Maike Mevissen. 17:00.185 --> 17:07.314 There, a journalist—(the print is so small I can't even read it myself anymore)—as I said, a journalist asked Prof. 17:07.314 --> 17:13.024 Mevissen some questions and interviewed her about her research. 17:13.024 --> 17:17.889 You can read on your own, more or less. (Because, well… my glasses aren't strong enough anymore.) 17:17.889 --> 17:19.577 Should I help out quickly? I'll read it aloud.) 17:19.577 --> 17:24.558 So, in response to the first question about academic freedom, my colleague says, “What bothers me is that 17:24.558 --> 17:29.435 institutions like the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection constantly dismiss everything.” 17:29.435 --> 17:37.019 Research is highly political, and we are constantly confronted with the view that there must be no health risks. 17:37.019 --> 17:41.623 And then there's a question about interference. Yes, what bothered me the most was that people were 17:41.623 --> 17:44.470 constantly trying to tell us how to do our jobs. 17:44.470 --> 17:49.376 The WHO expert in charge wanted to decide for us which studies were even eligible for the 17:49.376 --> 17:52.241 assessment. We had to constantly push back. 17:52.241 --> 17:59.122 "And as for the study design—I know one thing about animal studies: you can set them up in such a way that 17:59.122 --> 18:06.724 you find nothing by creating statistical noise that masks relevant effects." That's shocking. 18:09.951 --> 18:15.030 I just realized I need to see the eye doctor again—I need stronger glasses. 18:15.030 --> 18:20.877 Yes, I would like to introduce you to another significant category of noxious substances . 18:20.877 --> 18:24.850 Specifically, the synergistic effects of various environmental pollutants. 18:24.850 --> 18:29.764 The oldest pollutants we know of are smoke and asbestos. Today, we would say microfibers. 18:29.764 --> 18:36.240 We all know that someone who has smoked for 20 years has a six times higher risk of developing lung cancer. 18:36.240 --> 18:42.465 Anyone who has worked with microfibers for 20 years without protection has an 11-fold higher risk. 18:42.465 --> 18:46.540 Now, one might think that if someone has taken both risks, then their risk is 17 times higher. 18:46.540 --> 18:54.836 No, I'm sure you've already read that. He has a 60-fold higher risk of developing one of these types of tumors. 18:54.836 --> 18:59.785 With this slide, I'd like to show you—it actually comes from Professor Witte in Oldenburg. 18:59.785 --> 19:03.708 These are the main environmental factors and pollutants that affect us. 19:03.708 --> 19:08.225 How people deal with this depends in part on genetics. 19:08.225 --> 19:13.667 There are people who are very good at detoxifying on their own, without seeking medical or naturopathic help. 19:13.667 --> 19:15.905 However, there are people who are completely unable to detoxify. 19:15.905 --> 19:21.408 But the consequences are generally nitrosative or oxidative stress. 19:23.280 --> 19:30.254 I would like to summarize the six main factors that are causing us humans to become increasingly sick today. 19:30.254 --> 19:33.493 It is the physical environmental stressors. 19:33.493 --> 19:38.455 This includes not only cellular radiation, but ultimately also low-frequency and static magnetic field 19:38.455 --> 19:41.217 exposure, geoengineering, and weather modification. 19:41.217 --> 19:46.196 Here, microaerosols—toxic microaerosols in nanoform—are sprayed into the air, eventually 19:46.196 --> 19:49.668 settling on us and being ingested along with our food. 19:49.668 --> 19:56.364 And finally, food. Genetic engineering is becoming more and more... 19:56.364 --> 20:01.390 Right now, the EU is trying to push through a regulation that would obscure the identification of 20:01.390 --> 20:04.862 genetically modified organisms in food—which is irresponsible. 20:04.862 --> 20:10.231 Then there are the vaccines. By that, I don't just mean the mRNA vaccine, but also traditional vaccines. 20:10.231 --> 20:14.430 It is irresponsible to do this when we consider that these products contain toxic substances 20:14.430 --> 20:16.736 such as thiomersal, a toxic mercury compound. 20:16.736 --> 20:20.106 And, of course, chemical exposure. 20:20.106 --> 20:24.902 Let's consider insecticides, pesticides, and even mechanical stress. 20:24.902 --> 20:29.425 These are dust particles and microplastics. Microplastics in nanoform can penetrate cells. 20:29.425 --> 20:39.359 All of these interactions will ensure—to put it sarcastically—that socially acceptable early retirement is guaranteed. 20:44.378 --> 20:46.607 We are slowly coming to the end of my presentation. 20:46.607 --> 20:54.300 I'd like to give you another example of just how much our government cares about research into environmental pollutants. 20:54.300 --> 20:58.317 In Germany, there are only ten institutions that deal with such issues. 20:58.317 --> 21:05.382 But if you've already read the second line, you'll see that there are 163 research institutes dedicated to gender studies. 21:05.382 --> 21:07.278 Now I ask you, what is actually more important? 21:07.278 --> 21:14.560 Well, you can judge for yourself how much our government values the health of its citizens—namely, nothing. 21:16.171 --> 21:22.241 Yes, here's a summary again. I don't want to read it out in detail because I'm short on time. 21:22.241 --> 21:29.470 The source is listed below. You can read it for yourself and extract more detailed information from it. 21:31.811 --> 21:36.537 Yes, Mr. Weikl asked me to say a few more things about prevention. 21:36.537 --> 21:40.581 So, outdoors, there's really nothing you can do to avoid it, because the field strengths are 21:40.581 --> 21:42.949 simply present everywhere due to technical antennas. 21:42.949 --> 21:51.372 But whether you stay healthy for a long time really depends on how you manage your indoor stressors. 21:51.372 --> 21:57.584 Even today, I still find that the main sources of exposure come from indoors—namely, cordless phones 21:57.584 --> 22:01.949 and Wi-Fi. People often don't want to believe it. 22:01.949 --> 22:06.522 They come to pick me up, then I take measurements, and then I find that while the external exposure might only be in the 22:06.522 --> 22:11.745 three-digit microwatt range, your own sources of exposure—Wi-Fi and cordless phones—are causing milliwatt-level exposure. 22:11.745 --> 22:17.473 So if you want to reduce radiation exposure, you should actually measure your indoor exposure 22:17.473 --> 22:21.095 first before you start reducing radiation outdoors. 22:21.095 --> 22:28.841 I'm not saying that it isn't desirable to significantly reduce external radiation. 22:28.841 --> 22:31.065 Yes, that brings me to the end of my presentation. 22:31.065 --> 22:33.846 Thank you for your attention. I know this raises some questions. 22:33.846 --> 22:36.759 I will, of course, be available to participate in the discussion. Thank you.
