Juhi has said in a statement, ¡°We are not against the implementation of technological advancements. On the contrary, we enjoy using the latest products that the world of technology has to offer, including in the field of wireless communications.¡±
¡°However, whilst using the latter kind of devices, we are in a constant dilemma, because after doing our own research and studies regarding the RF radiation from wire-free gadgets and network cell towers, we have sufficient reason to believe that the radiation is extremely harmful and injurious to the health and safety of the people.¡±
Juhi Chawla is of the belief that with 5G networks going live, it would affect every animal, bird and insect on this planet and would be able to avoid exposure to the 5G. She is also of the belief that 5G causes serious irreversible damage to humans as well as Earth¡¯s ecosystems.
But 5G has been already proven safe
A few months ago this year, two papers by Australian researchers belonging to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and the Swinburne University of Technology in Australia revealed that they couldn¡¯t find any evidence that claimed that 5G causes harm to humans.
