Pall’s proposal for effects beyond superficial millimetre-wave absorption

Pall · 2021 · Reviews on environmental health

What this paper brings together

Reviews reports of millimetre-wave and microwave biological responses and proposes explanations involving magnetic-field interactions, induction and voltage-gated calcium channels. First online 2021; print issue 2022.

The authors’ synthesis or proposal

Pall interprets reported neurological and other internal responses as evidence requiring an explanation beyond superficial electric-field absorption, proposing direct and indirect effects involving channel voltage sensors.

Reading the connections carefully

The proposed penetration mechanism is contested in published correspondence. This guide does not treat it as established electrodynamics or evidence that modern 5G signals penetrate deeply in the manner proposed. Original experiments have varied therapeutic, laboratory and exposure contexts.

Corrections & discussion

Published comments question the physical mechanism, and Pall published a response. This is a continuing scientific disagreement; link to the complete exchange when considering the proposal.
