Learn The Latest News And Updates On 5G And Wireless Technology!
Introduction
5G and wireless technology are two of the most exciting and innovative fields in the world of telecommunications. They have the potential to transform various aspects of our lives, such as communication, entertainment, education, health, business, and more. However, 5G and wireless technology are also constantly evolving and changing, as new developments, trials, applications, and challenges emerge every day.
What are the harmful effects of 5G and Wireless Technology?
Some of the negative effects of 5G and wireless technology that have been reported or suggested by some sources are:
- Increased risk of cancer due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation, especially for heavy users and children123.
- Increased tissue heating, which can cause a slight rise in temperature in the brain and body, and may affect blood flow and skin thickness12.
- Increased cellular stress, which can damage DNA and cause genetic mutations12.
- Increased reproductive changes and deficits, such as reduced sperm quality and fertility, and increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects12.
- Increased neurological disorders, such as headaches, insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment12.
However, it is important to note that these negative effects are not conclusive or proven by scientific evidence. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other health authorities have stated that there is no adverse health effect established as being caused by mobile phone use1. They have also classified the electromagnetic radiation used by mobile phones as “possibly carcinogenic”, which means that there is evidence that falls short of being conclusive that exposure may cause cancer in humans1. Therefore, more research is needed to confirm or refute the potential health risks of 5G and wireless technology.
