More Reliable Bioeffects Studies at “High Band” 5G Frequencies
Abstract
Overview
The abstract discusses the controversial nature of health effects associated with radiofrequency radiation (RFR), especially in the high-frequency 5G spectrum. It highlights significant research findings across various studies and the acknowledgment by health agencies of no clear evidence of health hazards at levels within current exposure standards.
Findings
- Evaluation of 31 studies focusing on genetic damage from RFR exposure above 6 GHz, including millimeter-wave frequencies.
- Reports of statistically significant genetic damage, often found at exposure levels below existing safety limits.
- Concerns raised about the reliability of study results due to potential risk of bias and other methodological flaws.
Conclusion
The authors advocate for enhanced research methodologies to provide more accurate assessments for health agencies and regulatory bodies, emphasizing the need for better design, analysis, and reporting in future studies.
