Allaying health concerns regarding 5G and exposure to radio waves (2nd edition)

The second edition of the IET Guide “Allaying health concerns regarding 5G and exposure to radio waves” provides a bridge to understanding how the 5G technology being implemented and the frequencies being used affect radio wave exposure, compared to the earlier mobile technologies that everyone is very familiar with. 

The Guide is also helpful in another respect. It brings together, in one publication, an explanation of the overall rigorous radio exposure safety framework for public mobile services, embracing both the mobile networks and smartphones.

The conclusion that 5G is as safe as 4G, 3G and Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is not a political soundbite, but a conclusion drawn from an objective detailed examination, by independent professional engineers, who belong to institutions committed to the very highest professional standards.
