5G and its impact on environment, biodiversity and human health: An overview

Abstract

5G stands for the fifth generation of wireless technology. Millimetre waves are a higher frequency wavelength than the radio wavelength generally used today for transmission of information through this wireless technology. Both the wireless infrastructure of today and the modern era of 5G are seen as an asset in the intelligent system. It has been widely implemented throughout the world without discuss its adverse effects on future generations. It is argued that the addition of this added high-frequency 5G radiation to an already complex mix of lower frequencies, will contribute to a negative public health outcome both from both physical and mental health perspectives. This paper presents the adverse effects of 5G radiations on human health, plant and ecosystem. The thermal factors are also discussed in this article.
