As the world rapidly embraces 5G technology, concerns surrounding its potential health risks have lingered. However, a new landmark study published in PNAS Nexus is setting the record straight, presenting compelling evidence that 5G poses no significant threat to human health.

Researchers led by Vivian Meyer took a closer look at the effects of 5G electromagnetic fields on human skin cells, focusing on frequencies of 27 GHz and 40.5 GHz. Their investigation aimed to address fears that these frequencies could cause genetic changes due to electromagnetic exposure.

The study revealed that even after exposing skin cells to these frequencies for extended periods—up to 48 hours and at exposure levels 10 times higher than recommended—there were no statistically significant changes in gene expression or DNA methylation. This finding confirms that the energy levels associated with 5G are simply too low to produce any harmful photochemical or ionizing effects.

Meyer and her team took meticulous care in controlling for temperature during their experiments. This is crucial, as some prior studies that reported adverse effects of 5G did not account for heat, which could have skewed their results. The researchers are optimistic that their findings will help put an end to the ongoing debate over the safety of 5G technology.

With these promising results, it appears we can confidently embrace the age of 5G without the looming shadow of health fears. This new era of connectivity may finally be free from the stigma that has dogged it since its inception.
