“Contrary to radicals that attack biomolecules located less than a few <br />nanometres from its site of generation, the lipid peroxidation-derived <br />aldehydes can easily diffuse across membranes and can covalently modify <br />any protein in the cytoplasm and nucleus, far from their site of origin.” <br />Oxidative stress is involved in cellular disorders such as <br />neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. (Ayala 2014) <br />Yakymenko in 2016 looked at 100 currently available peer-reviewed studies on <br />oxidative effects of low-intensity microwave radio frequencies. He found that 93 <br />of the 100 studies (93%) confirmed that these wireless radio frequencies induced <br />oxidative effects in biological systems. The BioInitiative Report has a full list of <br />references accumulated by Dr. Henry Lai on RFR effects which is up to date as of <br />March 2022. Of 288 studies 263 showed free radical oxidative damage with <br />exposure to RFR (91%). <br /> <br /> <br />Limiting liability with positioning to minimize negative health <br />effects of cellular phone towers. Pearce (2020) <br /> <br />Pearce (2020) Argues that there is “already enough medical-scientific evidence exists to <br />warrant long-term liability concerns” and “to protect phone tower firms from the <br />ramifications of the failed paths of other industries that have caused unintended human <br />harm (e.g. tobacco) companies”, they should seek to minimize human RFR <br />(Radiofrequency wireless radiation) exposure. He advises that to minimize exposure of <br />the public to RFR cell towers should not be located less than 500 m (1600 feet) from the <br />population. <br /> <br /> <br />Insurance Companies - No Coverage for Wireless Radiation Harm <br /> <br />Insurance companies typically do not insure harm from radiofrequency radiation (RFR), <br />it is an exclusion in almost all insurance policies. Special pollution insurance is required <br />to cover this. The insurance industry keeps track of relevant emerging risk topics to make <br />sound business decisions to reduce their exposure and costs. <br /> <br />Swiss Re is the second largest reinsurance company in the world. In 2013, their Swiss <br />Re Emerging Risk Profile listed electromagnetic fields in the highest casualty risk due to <br />“unforeseen consequences” beyond 10 years, similar to asbestos. This distinction is <br />shared with endocrine disruptors and nanotechnology due to their long latency period for <br />harm <br /> <br />In 2019 the Swiss Re Emerging Risk Profile listed 5G cellular mobile communications <br />as being “Off the Leash” now. They note the 5G or fifth generation cellular <br />communications provides ultrafast broadband connection with higher capacity and lower <br />latency. They note rising risks that is due to the speed, as “hackers can also exploit 5G
