The potential dangers of 5G technology to human health will be outlined by a world authority on radiation emissions at Griffith University on Thursday (August 17, 6pm).
Professor Dariusz Leszczynski was among 30 invited experts to classify radiation emitted by wireless communication devices (WCD) as possible human carcinogen in 2011.
“The current scientific evidence suggests that the radiation emitted by current wireless communication devices could be re-classified as probable human carcinogen,” Professor Leszczynski said.
Griffith’s Centre for Environment and Population Health will host Thursday’s public lecture at its Nathan campus, starting at 6pm.

“The evidence of health risk indicates that the current safety limits are insufficient to protect all users of wireless communication devices,” Professor Leszczynski, an adjunct professor at the University of Helsinki in Finland, said.
“The 5G network will be a giant leap for the technological development but, even more, it will be a giant leap
