Abstract

Overview

The recent technological advancements in 5G have been justified under the assumption of safety. However, the actual safety of these technologies, particularly in terms of their electromagnetic fields (EMF), remains under-examined and potentially hazardous.

Findings

  • The increasing exposure to EMF in our environment correlates with rising potential long-term health risks.
  • Evidence indicates credible risks of biological interference with 5G frequencies even below the international limits.
  • The communication regarding these studies has been lacking clarity and transparency, necessitating a more responsible dissemination of the findings.

Conclusion

Data presented evokes a need for immediate action:

  1. Further detailed and controlled scientific research is necessary to better understand the biological impacts of 5G frequencies.
  2. Precautionary measures and strong leadership in policy making are crucial to mitigate potential risks and protect public health.
  3. The study advocates for a more informed and transparent communication strategy about the potential health risks of 5G technologies to prevent misleading conclusions and facilitate safer technological progress.
