Effects of 5G and electromagnetic radiation Are you concerned about the rollout of 5G in the local area and what electromagnetic radiation (EMR) could mean for your health and the environment? Would like to know more? A community forum has been organised by concerned locals who are working in cooperation with the 5G Free Sunshine Coast group. It will be held at the Glenview State School hall (corner of Glenview and Stevens Road) this Sunday, August 18 from 2-5pm. Topics will include how 5G technology works, studies and education around the health effects of EMR, the regulations controlling EMR safety levels from phone towers, Wi-Fi in schools and new technology like 5G. There will also be information on why any telco infrastructure could end up becoming a 5G emitter. Speakers at the forum will include Raymond Broomhall, a barrister specialising in EMR legal advice from Justice Michael Kirby Chambers in Tasmania; Victor Leach, a radiation health physicist and atmospheric scientist who has worked in the EMR field for the past 40 years; Steve Weller, an IT professional and public representative on the Electromagnetic Energy Reference Group committee of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency; Dr Russell Cooper whose expertise extends across many disciplines of medicine, complementary medicine and mind-body medicine; and Cyril Bourke, an IBM trained engineer and expert in building assessment and how to create safe homes and sleeping spaces.
The agenda will include discussion on how EMR has been affecting local residents and how they are battling against decision makers. There will also be discussion on how to take action to stop towers going up in your area or have them removed, and how you can make a difference to your health and wellbeing. There is no charge to attend but gold coin or above donations at the door will assist in paying for the hall hire. Teenagers and children are free. Light refreshments will be available.
What: A community forum on 5G technology When: Sunday, August 18 from 2-5pm Where: Glenview State School hall
