Abstract

Abstract

Overview

In this case report, two individuals experienced severe health symptoms attributed to the installation of a 5G base station above their apartment.

Findings

  • Subjects: A 63-year-old male and a 62-year-old female.
  • Location: Apartment directly below a new 5G base station; previously only 3G/4G were present.
  • Radiation Measurements: Substantial increase in RF radiation levels post-5G installation with peak measurements of up to >2,500,000 µW/m2.
  • Symptoms Observed: Include neurological issues, tinnitus, fatigue, insomnia, emotional distress, skin disorders, and blood pressure variability—indicative of microwave syndrome.
  • Improvement: Upon moving to an area with reduced RF radiation exposure, symptoms markedly decreased or disappeared.

Conclusion

This case underscores the insufficiency of current ICNIRP guidelines to safeguard health against non-thermal effects of RF radiation, illustrated by the non-thermal effects experienced by the subjects. Comprehensive health-based guidelines on RF exposure are urgently required.
