According to the Dutch Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, ten products claimed to protect against 5g radiation are sources of ionizing radiation.
In the Netherlands Several accessories marketed as 5G shields, such as necklaces and bracelets, have been found to emit harmful ionizing radiation.
The Dutch Nuclear Power and Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (ANVS) gave a warning about about ten products, which it stated in its report to be radioactive. ANVS calls for the products to be discontinued as they may cause long-term adverse health effects.
The British media, among others, reported on the matter BBC and The Guardian.
5g technology has been incorrectly associated with the spread of the coronavirus during a coronary pandemic. Conspiracy theorists believe that “radiation” from 5g towers, for example, weakens the human immune system, causing the coronavirus to wreak havoc.
The technology has also been accused of danger before the pandemic, and misinformation about it has been disseminated by, for example, the Russian state media RT.
Claims about the health effects of 5g have been refuted, for example, by the World Health Organization, which states that 5g networks are safe. Despite this, people who believe in harm have sabotaged 5g base stations in Britain and the Netherlands.

Dutch According to the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, products that emit harmful ionizing radiation are described as “ion repellents”. Thus, they are claimed to protect their wearer from ionizing radiation that can damage the genome of living cells.
On the contrary, the products have now been found to produce ionizing radiation. According to the ANVS, the amount of radiation measured from the products is small, but the potential health effects of long-term and continuous use cannot be ruled out.
For example, the ten products include a “quantum necklace” and several accessories with the brand names “energy shield” and “magnetic well-being”, such as a dream mask and a bracelet for children.
