Through Time
1G: The Birth of Mobile Telephony (1980s)
The first generation (1G) revolutionized communication through analog voice transmission. Introduced in the early 1980s, it enabled mobile phone calls for the first time.
2G: Digitalization and SMS (1990s)
With 2G (starting in 1991), digital technology made its breakthrough. Standards like GSM not only allowed for clearer conversations but also introduced SMS and voicemail. Additionally, encryption and roaming became possible, simplifying global mobile communication.
3G: The Mobile Internet Era (2000s)
3G (starting in 2001) brought the internet to our pockets. For the first time, users could browse websites, check emails, or use GPS. Data transfer speeds reached up to 2 Mbit/s – a quantum leap that ushered in the smartphone era.
4G: High-Speed Broadband (2010s)
4G (starting in 2010) was defined by ultra-fast mobile broadband with speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s. Streaming, video conferencing, and cloud services became standard. A movie that took about 36 hours to download with 3G could be downloaded in just 6 minutes with 4G.
5G: The Age of Connectivity (since 2019)
5G promises real-time communication with speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s. The same movie can now be downloaded in just 3.6 seconds. However, 5G is more than just speed: It connects cars, factories, controls humans, and cities (IoT), enabling applications like autonomous driving and telemedicine. 

Health Risks of 5G:
New Studies Prove It! Despite all its advantages, there are concerns regarding the electromagnetic radiation of 5G. Profound Changes in Erythrocytes Microscopic analyses reveal significant changes in the morphometry of erythrocytes. These cells are essential for oxygen transport in the body, and their shape and mechanical flexibility are crucial for efficient blood circulation. The highest tested frequency led to further deterioration of erythrocyte morphology.
Women showed a marked increase in membrane roughness, reduced solidity, and diminished elongation. These changes may impair the cells' ability to pass through narrow capillaries, potentially affecting tissue oxygen supply.
The observed changes in erythrocyte morphometry could have serious health consequences. Erythrocytes are known for their biconcave shape, which allows them to efficiently pass through narrow vessels and transport oxygen. If this shape is disrupted – for example, by oxidative damage or mechanical disturbances – it can lead to reduced deformability. This, in turn, can impair tissue oxygen supply and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 

Another aspect is the accelerated aging of erythrocytes.
The study suggests that 5G radiation can accelerate the aging process of cells by weakening the cytoskeletal structure and increasing membrane permeability. In the long term, this can lead to a shorter life cycle of erythrocytes and negatively impact overall health. 

5G Transmission Towers and What Is Electromagnetic Radiation?
Health Risks from Transmission Towers: A Critical Look at Radiation Exposure Transmission towers are the backbone of mobile communication technology. They enable wireless communication by transmitting signals between our devices and networks. However, their increasing number – especially with the rollout of 5G – has raised concerns about potential health impacts.
The intensity of electromagnetic radiation decreases with distance from the transmission tower. This means that people living close to a transmission tower are exposed to higher levels of radiation than those living farther away. To connect a city or country with 5G transmission towers requires significantly more towers, which increases radiation exposure for people and potentially causes more harm than 4G or 3G transmission towers. 

Some studies have found evidence linking long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields with an increased cancer risk:
• US NTP Study (2018): This large-scale study by the National Toxicology Program examined the effects of high-frequency radiation on rats and mice. The results showed an increased risk of heart schwannoma in male rats. Female rats and mice showed no significant effects. Critics, however, point out that the radiation doses used were far higher than what humans are typically exposed to. (Studie)
• IARC Classification (2011): The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified electromagnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic" (Category 2B), based on limited evidence in humans and experimental studies. This classification reflects uncertainties and should not be interpreted as definitive proof.
