Wildlife may be against unseen enemies. Recent research states that the electromagnetic waves of our daily communication systems - such as Wifi, 2G / 3G / 4G, and power lines - pose a threat to plants, insects, birds and other animals.
The researchers call it a 'classic case that is invisible to the eye'. They criticized the lack of research and policy related to electromagnetic waves that could endanger wildlife and environmental species. The EKLIPSE report has tested the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the wild through a meta-analysis study.
After examining 97 papers, the researchers found that the risk of this type of radiation may be greater than previously thought. Wireless signals from radar, broadcast television or radio, wifi, and 2G / 3G / 4G can have a negative effect on the wild.
With the plan to develop 5G, the situation may get worse. Radiation of electromagnetic waves can disrupt the orientation and movement of birds and insects. It also affects the health of plant metabolism.
The authors of the EKLIPSE report suggest an urgent need to strengthen the scientific basis of electromagnetic wave radiation and its impact on wildlife.
"We set a limit for pollution numbers to protect wildlife and environmental habitats. However, the safe boundaries of electromagnetic radiation have never been discussed, let alone applied, "said Matt Shardlow, CEO of Buglife who proposed the study.
"This is a case that can not be seen with the eyes. However, just because humans can not see electromagnetic radiation, does not mean animals do not feel the danger, "he concluded.
