5G, the next generation of cellular technology for the next generation of smartphones, is imminent. And with it, there’s concern about the health risk of this new, more powerful network. 

There has articles on Social media and various health websites claiming that 5G comes with a dangerous release of traditional cellular technology, one that contains higher energy radiation that couls have potential damaging effects on human beings. Some 5G people also claim that the new network generates radiofrequency radiation that can damage DNA and lead to cancer; cause oxidative damage that can cause premature aging; disrupt cell metabolism; and potentially lead to other diseases through the generation of stress proteins.

It sounds worrisome, but let’s take a look at the actual science.

What Is 5G?

5G has been hyped for a few years, but this is the year that carriers begin the process of rolling out the new wireless standard. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have all started to deploy their networks in the first half of the year, though widespread availability is still a year or more away. 5G will get a foothold in little more than a handful of cities this year.

With the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, a number of viral social media conspiracy theories have speculated that 5G is the cause of the world’s current problems. Simply put, these claims are factually false. 5G does not cause Coronavirus.

That isn’t keeping device manufacturers and service providers from jumping onto the 5G bandwagon. Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Fold for example, are both 5G-ready, along with models from LG, Huawei, Motorola, ZTE, and more.

The last major network upgrade was 4G, which introduced in 2009 with a peak speed of about 10 Mbps. In comparison, 5G is expected to deliver between 10 and 20 Gbps. And network speed will increase from 30ms to about 1ms which is most ideal for video game streaming, online video, and surfing the internet generally Likewise, decades of studies have found no link between cell phones radiation and cancers like brain tumors or even any microbiological defect.
