5G mobile networks and health-a state-of-the-science review of the research into low-level RF fields above 6 GHz. “In human tissues, ionizing radiation at high enough doses is associated with an increase in cancer, most often skin cancer from the ultraviolet energy in sunlight.”ĥG operates on two frequencies, the highest of which ranges from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz notes Frontiers in Public Health Karipidis K, Mate R, Urban D, Tinker R, Wood A.

The difference between the two matters greatly in terms of health and safety, notes Collins. Meanwhile, ionizing EMFs have much higher radiation, with sources including sunlight and x-rays. Sources that transmit these waves include phones, computers, Bluetooth devices, power lines and even microwaves.

The latter describes low-level radiation, or emission of energy through space and objects. Is 5G Making You Sick? Here’s What Experts SayĮlectromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy caused by electromagnetic radiation being emitted.
