Is 5G technology not safe ? The weight of scientific evidence has not linked exposure to radio frequency Energy from mobile devices with any known health problems. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in consultation with numerous other federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, maintains safety standards.

The FCC explains that its standards "incorporate prudent margins of safety." It explains further that "radio frequency emissions from antennas used for cellular and PCS transmissions result in exposure levels on the ground that are typically thousands of times below safety limits." The FCC provides information about the safety of RF emissions from cellular base stations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) established an International Electromagnetic Fields Project (IEFP) to provide information on health risks, establish research needs and support efforts to harmonize RF exposure standards. The project website provides additional information on RF exposure and mobile phone use. How harmful is 5G technology ? There is no convincing reason – either in theory or according to hard evidence – that 5G technology, by design, could present novel risks to any living thing's health, human or otherwise.

Nevertheless, comparisons with weapons based on similar electromagnetic frequencies, apprehension over new technology, or the dangers of radiation mean some remain concerned.

Based on reasonable assessments of research to date, regulatory bodies around the globe conclude the spectrum and intensity of radiation utilised by the technology fall well within safe standards
