5G and Impacts to Health Research

5G utilizes not only the EMF frequencies used by 3G and 4G, but also higher millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave frequencies. 

Small cells being installed in cities are usually 4G technology with a wide variety of frequencies. 

Thus, when we consider the health impacts of 5G and small cells, we are looking at research on current technologies and frequencies in use in addition to research on sub-millimeter and millimeter waves.

Pre-5G EMF radiation and health risks research can be found here.
