Over-the-air television channels are divided into two bands: the VHF band which comprises channels 2 through 13 and occupies frequencies between 54 and 216 MHz, and the UHF band, which comprises channels 14 through 83 and occupies frequencies between 470 and 890 MHz.
More research is needed into the potential health effects of new 5G mobile phone technology before it is rolled out in Australia, an international expert says.
The high-speed mobile phone network could be operational in Australia from 2020, offering up to 50 times the bandwidth currently available on 4G networks, allowing users to download the equivalent of three television episodes in a second.
Telstra announced last year it would run a world-first test of the technology for visitors to the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
International radio frequency expert Professor Dariusz Leszczynski, from the University of Helsinki, told a public lecture at Griffith University in Brisbane on Thursday night there was a concerning lack of understanding about the health effects.
"We know only that this radiation penetrates skin deep," Professor Leszczynski said.
"We don't have the faintest idea how normal-functioning skin will be affected."
Australia's radiation safety government body, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), has backed calls to examine whether the country's current radiation safety standards need to be changed for the 5G rollout.
Research published on the agency's website said 5G technology could penetrate skin to a depth of 8 millimetres.
ARPANSA assistant director Dr Ken Karipidis said more research was needed.
"At the frequencies where 5G will be operating, the RF electromagnetic energy does not penetrate much further than the surface of the skin," Dr Karapidis sai

Hey guys!
I've been wondering as of late, is there any actual findings / research that shows 5G will actually pose any kind of danger to human life?
I find the subject fascinating but the most info I could find was a study that showed cows acted strange as hell when exposed to 5G. Even that article was hard to correctly source...
I also found a 50/50 forum post from a guy claiming to have tested 5G at a stadium of sorts. He claimed it made him and his team behave strangely.
Thank you in advance!

It’s unclear how many smaller base stations would be needed for 5G service. But it’s widely believed that there would need to be exponentially more because of the limited distance the signals can travel. One researcher estimated a station would be needed for every 12 homes in a dense urban area.
The prospect of more transmitters emitting radiofrequency radiation — though at much lower levels than those coming from cell towers — has alarmed people concerned about the effects on humans.
In 2013, the FCC opened a formal inquiry into whether it needed to reassess its exposure limits. That proceeding remains open, the agency said.
“Scientific evidence always informs FCC rules on this matter,” said spokesman Neil Grace. “We will continue to follow all recommendations from federal health and safety experts including whether the FCC should modify its current policies and RF exposure limits.”
The FDA said it “believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency from cellphones and adverse health outcomes.”
But that agency said more research is needed. In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization, classified cellphone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” There are 288 other “agents” with that classification, including many chemicals as well as talc-based body powder and traditional Asian pickled vegetables.

Does 5g not operate in the wavelengths where broadcast tv used to be?
So if 5g is dangerous, then broadcast television must have been dangerous too?
I await somebody with more knowledge than I...

5G? For more than a minute, you would be dead! You would not be able to breath anymore, the circulation of your blood will be strained / impossible to your head, etc.

The human body is better at surviving g-forces that are perpendicular to the spine. In general when the acceleration is forwards (subject essentially lying on their back, colloquially known as "eyeballs in"). Early experiments showed that untrained humans were able to tolerate a range of accelerations depending on the time of exposure. This ranged from as much as 20 g for less than 10 seconds, to 10 g for 1 minute, and 6 g for 10 minutes for both eyeballs in and out. These forces were endured with cognitive facilities intact, as subjects were able to perform simple physical and communication tasks. The tests were determined to not cause long or short term harm although tolerance was quite subjective, with only the most motivated non-pilots capable of completing tests.

I know there is an effect of all of these signals and that is evident when the signals are removed with some people as their bodies compensate for the signals by altering metabolics and electrical impulses. If the power goes out, people can get weird and impulsive because of the change in electrical frequency for a while if they are acclimated to the frequencies in the environment. This can lead to chaos in the society if the power goes out. By upping signals in the air, we increase this problematic event's chaos.
