Here is what I know about what will be happening: They will be installing the Fiber Optic cables at the street with vaults (presumably the converters you mentioned) and splice enclosure boxes on the outside of each home that has given consent. But right now we are faced with the decision to consent or not to Fiber Optics at our house. You can buy maps of the MOAs in pilot shops at airports. Have you done the steps in this article between your modem and laptop? But when the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, the myths began to involve coronavirus. I recommended Fiber optics as a solution because wireless infrastructure can have a debilitating effect on electrosensitive people and reduce their access to essential services. But since you obviously understand what you have written, my question is whether what I have told you about the timing of my symptoms helps you to identify the source of them. For most houses, the lines are at the street, but I once lived in a condo complex and eventually figured out the the Comcast trunk line for the entire community was buried a few feet from where I slept and had major and varying amounts of current running on it. Learn More, This is the resource I wish had been available to me when I first started learning about the EMF topic. These requires a 110v electrical outlet for power supply and also contains a battery backup of up to 6 hours. I cannot say Thank You to you enough, Jeromy!! I need a land line too since cell phones bother me even more. WebOptical fiber glass is just silica glass. Even then, the results have been inconclusive. The main concern regarding this type of EMF is although The other thing is that you really need an RF meter to test the power of the WiFi. Fortunately, there are solutions to this issue. Some people believe that it can contribute to the development of cancer. The differential mode meters (Stetzer / Line EMI) wont pick this up. WiFi and the electronic devices that connect to it, such as mobile phones, laptops and wireless When Apple released its Bluetooth AirPods in 2019, it raised questions about whether Bluetooth technology may raise cancer risk. Its incredible how it makes a difference to the severity of my symptoms. This all makes sense now. The ice that forms around the fiber optic cables often causes the cables to bend, which affects the signals sent through the cables. Kamali K, et al. If I cant reduce this EMI, I will not be able to use a phone. Server 1 is going to disconnect my phone in two months and if I cant solve this problem with the power adapter and this problem of the 700-800V/m, then I am in real problems. I have also found another device that is causing EMI in our homes is the power line communications (PLC) adaptors used to replace the ethernet cables in the home. Having pure fiber run to each home with specifically selected/designed low-EMI ONT devices for the data conversion in the home and no small cells deployed in the community is a low-EMF future for all that also provides fast, secure and reliable internet. Thats because theres no solid evidence suggesting that Wi-Fi, or EMFs in general, directly causes cancer. If so, what kind of technology (all the components) is the right kind? 2.) 5) If installed properly (with the right kind of technology) is Fiber Optic actually safe? The main reason I want a smart phone is because I like to listen to podcasts and YT videos. In 1996, WHO established the International EMF Project. I am getting ready to buy a new home. Im overwhelmed and can not figure out what to do. In a 2015 animal study, long-term exposure to Wi-Fi induced oxidative stress in the uteruses of rats. He said AT&T doesnt have records and wants to put in fiber on towns main road. As the great article you shared by Ms. Levitt points out, the powerful profiteers and their government lackeys do not care about us. Optical fiber is about 100120 microns https://www.emfanalysis.com/low-emf-computing/. With the peace of mind you have already given me by helping me decide against the fiber connection installation, I would like to beef up my knowledge on this topic through a bit of research firstas I may have different questions for you as well. However, the only data connection will be at the ONT device. Dont know about using a radio and what is the difference. The best way to know is to contact your local telecom company and ask if/where the fiber system is located in your neighborhood. Environmental changes But that is a good start. I think that we will eventually have a society where the biological impacts of EMF exposures are considered when equipment is designed. Hello Jeromy, is there a meter that can tell me how much dirty electricity my cable modem is pumping into my power lines? I am also currently suffering from illness from EMF exposure and was advised by my physician to lower it as much as possible. You may not need 1,000 I would also like that document very much please! By understanding how they work, we can understand how we manage to stay connected with people worldwide. Of course I know theres radiation of the phone antenna is on, but there are ways to download files and listen offline. Most traditional routers support FTTP-enabled internet connection, but cannot efficiently handle the high-speed data transmission of fibre optic technology. Fibre helps us to poo more often, increases the size of If you have questions about fiber optic cable bandwidth or wish to discuss an installation in WebThe most common causes of fiber optic malfunctions Broken fibers because of physical stress or excessive bending. My next article will cover what I do in a home that is served by fiber optic internet (see #7 above). They plan to install an Optical Network Terminal inside my house. In the wee hours of the morning, military aircraft use the Green Bank valley for ground support practice. AT&T wont allow people who purchase a home to maintain the previous owners landline. + bought ten mechanical mice = one ball below and two buttons, no wheel. It sounds like your phone line is still part of the older network and should be a big issue. Is there a typo? When/if you update the electronic version with any essential info, will you let buyers know? Or is easy to address them at a later date, when Ive gotten up the learning curve? When your WiFi router transmits data, it emits EMFs that the Despite low-frequency EMFs being classified as possibly carcinogenic, researchers have not observed a direct connection Other experts think fiber's effect on something called " insulin sensitivity" The AM radio is a near-field magnetic field sniffer. This uses no electrical equipment between the main office and the home. Consider that the high-speed fiber optic networks being installed in our communities will be used as the backbone for 5G wireless installations. they will connect the Fiber Optic system to the computer/modem/router with a CAT5E cable. Dana-Farber provides personalized care for each patient based on their unique needs; their experiences and results will vary. If you advocate for fiber in communities, you need laws/ordinances in place that wont allow it to be used to put small cells that are used for 4G/5G on every street corner. I apologize for being so long-winded and all my questions, but Im at the mercy of time, lack of knowledge & adequate understanding. Is this how 5G will be handled. I know several ES people who have the option to connect to a fiber optic provider, but have held off for now. I have a hard time reading online, due to severe EHS. We are reliant on our landline, which is in an old fashioned telephone jack. Its not so much of where the cables are located (they are generally out at the street, either on poles or underground). There is likely an EMI issue with their fiber optic converters that is impacting your home. You are correct in that with some systems, the EMI on the data lines will go into each home, much like solar system EMI on the electrical wiring. and I came across your article re the dangers of high speed 5g fiber optic systems. This is the key to safer fiber in my opinion. WiFi operates in similar frequencies as microwaves and cellphones, in the 2 to 5 GHz range. So, to cut to the chase, have you written about a health friendly infrastructure from signal origination to signal destination that would be safer? I would like to know if your printed books are available now. The most important thing is how you use a cell phone, if you must use one. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Thanks Jeromy. 5G, or fifth generation, is another type of wireless technology. Work telephone conferences and Internet use the fiber optic thin plastic cable at the same time. Effect of long-term exposure of 2.4 GHz radiofrequency radiation emitted from Wi-Fi equipment on testes functions. Hassanshahi A, et al. My question is how do I do a fiber optics system that will act as barrier for my condo since I cannot change the internet connection in the apartment complex. Fiber optic signals remain In the review, Hardell says this is a conflict of interest. I am just not totally sure how to interpret what Im hearing. For example, AT&T is converting their old HFC pedestals that used power to convert from fiber to coax for Uverse (what is sometimes called fiber to the curb) into passive splitters for their new AT&T Fiber (true fiber) service. When the planes are going for their practice runs, the observatory is not used. I responded with suggestions via email. Because it will be very expensive to get hooked up after they leave our neighborhood, Im inclined to go forward. Many wireless devices use Bluetooth technology, which may be used to connect your phone to your car or your televisions to remote speakers. Lets explore what the science says about Wi-Fi and cancer thus far. Eventually well have products that are designed with low-EMI emissions in mind. A spectrum analyzer would, along with an older AM radio, which can pick up wide spectrum common mode EMI from about 500 KHz to 2 MHz. Thalamocortical alpha frequency oscillations have been noted in the human occipital-parietal cortex. When I had fibre optic installed, I had to wait a few hours before I got a connection. I would think the older landlines should (not) be a problem. lightening) that can reduce speed of transmission. How could this be? they are always sending and receiving information, but these devices transmit just So, as you can see, fiber optic cables play a vital role in global communication. I will also unplug all computers from the LAN cable every time its not in use. There is a big 3-story apartment complex being built up the street from me and it has a brand new cell tower that stands within a hundred yards of the structures. They arent spread via wireless technology. I also want to say that I completely understand the need to for a consultation for the in-depth answers my questions would require. Perhaps you want to reword that section to better explain what you mean. Im pretty desperate as I cant rest well at night. Thanks for your comment, Dominic. The short answer is that it depends on what type of system they are putting in. Now do I know, I am an EE so I do know a little bit about this stuff. Not to confuse with wireless which is thousands of uW/m2. For now, be sure that you are doing steps 2-4 in this article. It seems to be dependent on the equipment used by the internet providers, along with multiple other factors including the home and the individual. In case Karl Riley is not monitoring this page, let me point you to some resources which might answer your question. Still trying to understand it. I had three electricians out and they havent a clue. What the paper doesnt tell you is that Green Bank is in an MOA (Military Operations Area). Yes, EMI and DE are similar. This page adheres to our medical and editorial policy and guidelines. The real danger is when fibers are stripped, trimmed, and cut. Weve also gathered answers to some of the more frequent questions below: -For more information on a particular type of cancer or the latest updates we have available, please visit our website (https://www.dana-farber.org/) or search our blog by clicking the magnifying glass at the top of our homepage: https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/ -For information on whether you would be eligible for a certain treatment, please visit our website for more information on how to make an appointment or get an online second opinion: https://www.dana-farber.org/appointments-and-second-opinions/ -For information on clinical trials available at Dana-Farber and elsewhere, please visit the Dana-Farber database: https://www.dana-farber.org/research/clinical-trials/find-a-clinical-trial/. Thanks for this Jeromy. Can I measure if problem at phone jack or cable outlet (no longer get cable). Thanks for this, Jeromy! Continue internet service with a non-fiber optic provider as long as possible. Optical fiber glass is just silica glass. It is not known to cause cancer. You typically cant get cut but you can get a puncture and a splinter! O So would this solution also work for 5G? True story. During WW II, we started using Radar to look for the enemy. Radar operators noticed that if they were cold, they could stand in front o I come from the medical and electrical / electronic industry. So putting the two together, this would seem to make sense. The cable modem can also add EMI to the electrical wiring of your home, so you want this to be clean as possible. Wear disposable aprons to minimize fiber particles on your clothing. Wi-fi allows devices to connect to the internet. Same problem with our landlines. If you cant find another place, a bed canopy is your main option. (Optical Network Terminal) where it is connected to the existing wiring to allow existing landline services to function once transferred to the fiber network. Choose a package at or below 100 Mbps and stay away from 1 or 10 Gbps packages, which will likely add more EMI to your home. It would be so great to see videos of how you deal with EMFs at home, travel, etc. Will be easier to go over all your question that way. It is easier to order them online at http://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/ Click on Charts and Maps, On the dropdown meno, click on Sectional Charts, Then hover over the map and pick the area you want. You can download items, set the phone down, and come back near it when the downloads are complete. Indeed, shouldnt be a big issue.. * Are there alternative technologies that could give high speed internet that DO operate with low-EMI emissions and thus less radiation. Unless a cable carrying electrical signals is properly shielded and grounded it by its nature will radiate beyond the cable. (2020). Select the lowest bandwidth internet package available. Id like to know if theres any difference in EMF exposure. I presume this would (at least in part) be a result of EMI. This will prevent EMI from the fiber optic infrastructure from conducting along the cable and telephone lines in your walls. I thought I was the only one this happened to. I have a master's degree in engineering and had a successful career in Silicon Valley before I began to experience negative health effects from wireless technology and electrical pollution. This should really help with any computer sensitivity. (2015). Julia- I bought four 32 x 32 aluminum sheets from Home Depot and I placed them on the floor right above the spot where the modem is in the room below. In fact, youre likely reading this article on a device thats currently connected to Wi-Fi. Their petition noted that children may be more susceptible to the negative effects of electromagnetic fields than adults. Even though I still suffer from EHS, which I got after mobile base stations were built around my house, I can now use my computer without getting sick. Have any idea if there is such a filter available? WiFi uses radio waves to provide network connectivity. An example is that of the power supply units for laptops, netbooks, induction charging docks for portables like phones and tablets, as well as the desktop, let alone the All-In-One (AIO) computers. This O.N.T. Also, theres no proof that 5G and EMFs increase your susceptibility to viral infections. Is there ANYTHING I can do? If you can keep your same DSL connection for now, stick with it until you learn more about this and have a prudent path forward where you know the solutions will work for both of you (for instance GPON fiber to the home with a truly low-EMI media converter, once we find one that has been made). Signal loss due to a cable span that is too long. Otherwise, the fiber networks can be used to radiate the entire community with RF. Then I would keep using a smart phone, but listen to the podcasts and music when the phone is on Airplane mode. The cheaper 3-in-1 meters are not accurate at all and can be misleading. I discuss this in more depth in this comment: https://www.emfanalysis.com/low-emf-internet-connection/#comment-47410. Opinions vary on whether cell phones and other devices that produce radiofrequency energy The power adaptor of modem measures 700-800V/m 380mG at the power connection and all power points in my home measure 700-800V/m, including the Ethernet cable to laptop and all phones connected to VOIP. We visited the area back in 2020 after I became sensitive and were not impressed. I was unable to learn whether it was a fixed ground based radar or an AWACS plane. Total monetary compensation might vary from $31,000 to $74,000 in certain cases. As I mention in the article above, there are ways to reduce any EMI coming into your home. I owe my health to the discovery of your website three years ago. Some areas will be able to keep their copper landlines, but provider service in outages will become worse forcing you to HFC. Those boxes are between every house in our neighborhood! Thanks! But the researchers didnt state the possible mechanisms behind these results. Yildirim ME, et al. The reason that I wrote initially is that you suggest in so many words that the radiation is zero. There are several phone service providers in the neighborhood, how would I know which one to call? I have recently been having breathing issues where I feel the need to randomly take DEEP INHALES like I am short on air even though Im breathing fine. Well, sorta. You COULD use fiber to pick up sunlight and carry it. No doubt about that. However, the cross section of a single fiber is very, very Consider this EMI issue when choosing your service. Theres concern that the radiation from Wi-Fi causes health issues like cancer. I think there must be 8-10 boxes attached. I have to keep checking it because they randomly turn it back on. 6.) But first we have to bring to awareness that this is a problem. The neutral cable should not be accessed by a non-trained because of its close location to the two phases. Ill be posting many more articles and videos in 2020: Hi Jeromy, thank you! I use a landline and ethernet cable. Is there a possibility for a cure after this (electromagnetic sensitivity) happens to you? Given our frequent contact with wave-emitting devices in the home, you may wonder whether EMFs. Yes, there can be an issue with EMI on the electrical wiring and the data line coming into the home. Ahh.. another informative blog that I have read today. IARC classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Can WiFi cause cancer? Also, your mom likely has a flicker sensitivity. To summarize, not all OSP fiber networks operate the same way, and what you are describing (HFC design) is rapidly being replaced by larger fiber cables and passive splitter systems (GPON) that operate with no power in between the optical laser at the signal point of origin to the media converter at the end user. Its definitely EMI, yet THEY say that optic fibre cant produce such, which is a pack of lies. I would be sure to ground the connection before it gets to your computer. Fiber can be made safe, its just that the current systems can have problems. The other place where the AM radio was extremely noisy (buzzed loudly) was when I held it up to the shielded ethernet cable (Cat 7) where it inserts into the laptop ethernet port. Dana-Farber shares patient stories which may include descriptions of actual medical results. The mechanisms behind these effects are unclear. This would give us internet that is healthy/safe/fast/reliable for the entire society. [3] This is contrary to gamma wave oscillatory frequencies which emerge in selective focus tasks., Ive read nearly 100,000 pages of such data, and non-intended electromagnetic induction of neuronal cells and tissues are at the bottom line of altered and chaotic modern behaviors, I know Im not being helpful, but ducking for cover whilst we destroy the Earth is a bit counterintuitive We are murdering the planet with electromagnetic infrastructure so we can talk endlessly about how to stop doing it. Non-ionizing EMF is low-level radiation which is generally This is so helpful- thank you! One plastic electrical cable supplies their artificial hunger. Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id", "a074b2b7f5c2d3959e7396f7f57937d3" );document.getElementById("e284769192").setAttribute( "id", "comment" ); Welcome. That its rare to have a Faraday cage at home unless youre an engineer, that works with EMI, RFI in AF, IF and RF stages. But if I get even half a microwatt of HF and some crackling or pulse or repeated signals then there is likely something on the line. And, if you are moving to VoIP through a fiber modem (ONT device), that will surely add more EMI to your in-home landline phone. And will it even do me any good to move to a different apartment within this complex if it has fiber optics? Using your phone wont work. for more current meter recommendations than in Karls 2012 book. According to these claims, Wi-Fi causes conditions like: Theres no hard evidence that Wi-Fi is linked to these conditions. Of course, they told me there would be no EMF exposure from this because its not using antennas/cell technology. I use slow fiber converters that are lower-EMI and then I ground the EMI and low-frequency electric fields to the outside before it gets to my laptop.
