 The reason was that it seemed to indicate that for RA, there is no safe manmade RF EMF level as RF signal strength from these solar storms is really low. Further, these storms are brief, so my thinking was that it wasn't actually the storms, but the state of the sun where the solar cycle RF signal was at its highest. In other words, natural background RF when it cycles higher correlates with RA, and that level is so many orders of magnitude lower than manmade RF. The reason was that it seemed to indicate that for RA, there is no safe manmade RF EMF level as RF signal strength from these solar storms is really low.

-===== How to use a cell phone ===== 
-  
-guidelines for cell phone use: 
- 
-1. Never carry a cell phone on your person or in your pocket. Always have it in a separate bag. 
- 
-2. Keep cell phone in airplane mode except when actually being used. 
- 
-3. Never use a cell phone when a landline is available. 
- 
-4. Do not use a cell phone as a primary method of communication. Give out your land line number and not your cell phone number for incoming calls to minimize the number of calls to the cell phone. 
- 
-5. Do not use the cell phone for any purpose other than making emergency calls. 
- 
-6. Wear a protective clothing device over your head when using a cell phone.

"We're talking about the safety issues with the building because we already talked to the district about radiation and they ignored that."

 +
 +
 +Plans for a pilot project to provide high-speed 5G wireless internet in Brussels have been halted due to fears for the health of citizens, according to April 2019 reports.
 +
 +In July, the government concluded an agreement with three telecom operators to relax the strict radiation standards in Brussels. But according to the Region, it is now impossible to estimate the radiation from the antennas required for the service. 
 +
 +In Brussels the Environment minister Céline Fremault (CDH) told [[https://ehtrust.org/brussels-belgium-and-rome-municipality-oppose-wireless-5g-antennas/|Brussels Times]] 
 +<blockquote>I cannot welcome such technology if the radiation standards, which must protect the citizen, are not respected, 5G or not. The people of Brussels are not guinea pigs whose health I can sell at a profit. We cannot leave anything to doubt.
 +</blockquote>
 +
 +and in Rome a council action "Apply the precautionary principle sanctioned by the European Union" against mayoral approval of 5G  passed with 11 votes in favor and 3 abstentions.
