Petition updateStop the 5G Rollout in AustraliaWhy are our wireless/radiation safety standards 100 times higher than other countries?

Short answer- because ARPANSA are corrupt and are unfit to do their job.

What you need to know about ARPANSA and their safety standards in relation to 5G.

I had this graphic made to give you a visual representation of our safety standards in comparison to many other places in the world, see that EXTREMELY tall bar over on the very far right?? That's where are our safety standards are set..

ARPANSA the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency are the supposedly "independent" body who set the safety standard limits say that the 5G network is included within their limits.

However the last time ARPANSA did testing was back in 2002 (17 years ago) even before 4G and certainly doesn’t cover 5G technology which is 100 times stronger.

The ARPANSA safety limits are set at 1000 µW (microwatts)
Per cm2, up to 300GHz. This was set in 2002 against a senate committee recommendation of 200 µW/cm2 in 2001.

Despite the fact that many other countries set the limit at 10 µW/cm2 and others such as Austria set the safety limit even lower at .0001 µW/cm2.

Why is our safety standard 100 times higher than most other countries worldwide?

What is also alarming is that they recently put a disclaimer on their website that says that their info should only be used as a guide for education purposes and that you should seek professional advice (ie a doctor).

In another article on the ARPANSA website Dr Karipidis admits that the higher frequencies used in 5G technology will penetrate human tissue and acknowledges that there are gaps in this knowledge that require further research, ‘ARPANSA therefore has made recommendations for areas where further studies are needed. The recommendations include research for frequencies above 6 GHz and for emerging technologies that use them like 5G.'

But they go on to say that despite gaps in the knowledge, no health effects are expected from radio frequency exposures below the limits set in the ARPANSA standard.

ARPANSA claim that they are an independent organisation, however they receive $1m annually from the wireless industry.

The bottom line is that safety guidelines from bodies such as ARPANSA are clearly designed to protect industry, not health, as the profits from the 5G rollout are immense.

“Independent scientists and physicians know that these safety guidelines, which do not take into account the many thousands of studies on non-thermal EMF effects, have no connection with the genuine scientific literature”

The Minister for Health (The Hon Greg Hunt MP) and the Minister for Environment (The Hon Melissa Price MP) referred a letter from a member of Stop 5G Perth and Australia wide to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) for a response.  The letter sought information about the role of ARPANSA and the health impacts of millimetre wave (5G) technology.

ARPANSA replied in its usual vein, downplaying any possible cause for alarm.

Martin Pall PhD, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University, was asked by Stop 5G Perth and Australia wide to respond to ARPANSA’s (unsigned) letter.

Professor Martin Pall’s 28-page forensic analysis of ARPANSA’s letter, which includes reference to his own document on the risks of 5G and other EMF, is a chilling indictment of the competence, professionalism and independence of ARPANSA.  ARPANSA is the organisation that supposedly monitors and identifies radiation risks to Australians!

Pall notes that ARPANSA provided “not one iota of evidence that its exposure standard is based on scientific research or that it protects us from any, let alone all harmful effects nor that it protects people of all ages and health status against all known adverse effects of RF (the word they are using for microwave frequency) exposures”.  Professor Pall pointed out that by ignoring 158 bodies of evidence ARPANSA completely fails in its responsibility to protect the health of Australians.  He goes on to say that, in general, “ARPANSA makes grandiose claims that are both undocumented and found to be false or, at best highly questionable when one examines the scientific literature”.

Dr Sharon Goldberg an internal medicine physician & professor, comments on 5G while speaking to the U.S. Senate.

“Wireless radiation has biological effects. Period. This is no longer a subject for debate when you look at PubMed and the peer-review literature.”

In Europe, Over 230 scientists from more than 40 countries have expressed their serious concerns. Referring to numerous scientific publications that have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international guidelines. This is particularly concerning given Australian guidelines are 100 times higher than most other countries.

Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plants and animals.

Can you please share the petition and help us get this viral? We will need at least 50-100k signatures to put public pressure on the powers that be and halt this rollout. http://chng.it/xnrT5NfdNR
