Abstract
Public concern about potential health risks of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure (RF-EMF) from mobile networks and devices has ebbed and flowed over time with new claims and misinformation around 5G deployments. There remain misunderstandings about the nature and level of RF-EMF exposure from both mobile networks and devices. Measurements on live networks show that typical RF-EMF exposure levels from mobile networks and devices are a small fraction of international guidelines. 5G deployments will have little impact on RF-EMF levels. The consensus of independent expert groups and the World Health Organization is that there are no established health risks from such exposures.
