Lack of evidence of health risks from 5G
The report analyzes the current research findings on potential health risks of 5G and highlights public concerns regarding the effects of electromagnetic fields.
The increasing demand for mobile phone antennas, particularly for video content data traffic, has led to an increase in 5G mobile phone installations in Switzerland, with 10,359 installations currently in operation.
In and around the Petit-Saconnex district of Geneva, residents have expressed concerns about the installation of more 5G antennas, fearing health effects ranging from headaches to cancer. So far, however, there is no scientific evidence of such adverse health effects from 5G.
The frequencies used for 5G are in a similar range to previous mobile technologies such as 4G and Wi-Fi. There is no objective diagnosis for electrosensitivity and there are no recognized medical diagnostic criteria. The World Health Organization has not yet been able to prove a link between 5G radiation and health complaints.
Research on non-ionizing radiation, which includes 5G, is extensive, but studies cannot provide a general declaration of safety. It is emphasized that no absolute statements are possible in medicine, and the limits of scientific studies are recognized by experts and the WHO.
