What Are The Effects Of 5G Technology On Health?
There is little evidence to show that 5G affects health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more studies need to be done to understand the frequencies used in 5G. Studies on the health effects of electromagnetic fields across the spectrum are inconsistent.
According to studies, electromagnetic fields in a 5G network have been linked to the following conditions:
Tissue Heating
A 2017 study showed that the range of frequency in mobile phones was between 1.8 to 2.2 GHz. The study also showed that these frequencies can lead to tissue heating, a condition that happens when your skin absorbs excess electromagnetic energy. This condition can lead to a little increase in the temperature in your body and brain.
A 2021 study also showed that tissue heating caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields is more common in older people, because they have reduced thickness and blood flow to the skin. The study also discovered that the skin absorbs more energy when the electromagnetic field is high.
Tissue heating does not occur for a long time and it is usually mild. According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the public is not exposed to high frequencies of EMFs. The frequencies are usually not high enough to result in tissue heating.
More research needs to be done to understand the effects of 5G on human tissue.
