Abstract

Overview

The currently endorsed RF exposure guidelines and standards predominantly aim to regulate RF-induced short-term heating and to prevent raising tissue temperatures across all RF radiation ranges, including 5G frequencies.

Findings

• Current safety limits are considered irrelevant, debatable, and lacking scientific justification, raising concerns about their adequacy in ensuring public health protection.
• The introduction of 5G technology, utilizing millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and antenna array technologies, is deemed faster and more secure, yet uncertainties loom over its health impacts compared to previous generations.
• Particular concerns are raised about mm-wave interactions with cellular structures and skin neuroreceptors, with existing scientific data being inadequate to provide reliable assessments.

Conclusion

The rapid spread of mobile telecommunication devices heightens public health concerns regarding biological effects and safety with regard to RF radiation. Despite the focus on short-term heating effects, long-standing questions about the appropriateness of health safety limits for long-term, low-level exposures persist. The current guidelines ignore significant scientific findings and do not adequately protect sensitive groups like children and workers from RF radiation exposure inherent in mobile and wireless communications.
