Investigating the Health Hazards Associated with 5G Network: A Review

Abstract

This paper is focused on the fifth generation of mobile technology (5G) and
concerns over alleged health hazards and the concept behind this mobile
technology. The deployment of the fifth-generation (5G) wireless
communication services require the installation of 5G next- generation
Node-B Base Station (gNBs) over the territory and the wide adoption of 5G
User Equipment (UE). 5G should offer connections that are multitudes
faster than previous mobile technology with average download speeds of
around 1Gbps. The global population is concerned about the potential
health hazards associated with the Radio Frequency (RF) emissions from
5G equipment. This concern has made several communities to respond
actively towards stopping the 5G deployment. This paper adopted
numerous national, international scientific and governmental
organizations that have reviewed epidemiologic studies of health and
biological endpoints in association with the RF exposure in environments
accessible to the public. It was observed that the widely perceived health
risks that are attributed to 5G are not supported by scientific evidence. In
conclusion, the various health hazard of 5G exposure and the latest studies
associated with the concerns are presented.
