The Netherlands’ Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection is warning the public to stay away from 10 products it tested for releasing ionizing radiation.
A pendant that claims it can block out 5G radiation actually causes harmful radiation, according to authorities in the Netherlands. The warning comes from the country’s Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ANVS). On Thursday, it issued a consumer alert about 10 products that claim to offer radiation-shielding and “negative ion” properties. All 10 products actually emit ionizing radiation, ANVS says, citing a recent study from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. One of the negative ion products that was tested. “Only low levels of radiation have been measured on these specific products. However, someone who wears a product of this kind for a prolonged period (a year,24 hours a day) could expose themselves to a level of radiation that exceeds the stringent limit for skin exposure that applies in the Netherlands,” the ANVS says.
