Supporters of conspiracy theories about the harm of 5G have been claiming for many years that this technology is supposedly dangerous to health. However, a new scientific study has definitively refuted their main arguments, according to the Android Authority online media outlet, which covers the world of Android and technology.
The researchers’ work was published in the peer-reviewed journal PNAS Nexus (Oxford Academic). The scientists conducted a direct experiment: they exposed human skin cells to radiation at frequencies of 27 and 40.5 GHz — the very same bands used in modern 5G networks.
Moreover, the power was 10 times higher than the established limits, and the exposure lasted up to 48 hours. The result: no slightest changes in DNA or gene activity
Why this matters
The frequencies used in 5G are too low to damage DNA molecules or ionize atoms, meaning they are physically incapable of causing mutations or genetic disruptions. This is the key point on which the entire study is based.
The scientists also paid special attention to the possible impact of temperature. Some previous studies observed minor changes, but it turned out these were caused by tissue heating, not the electromagnetic radiation itself.
In the new study, this factor was completely excluded — temperature was carefully controlled to obtain a clear result.
As experts note, even such large-scale and scientifically grounded research is unlikely to change the minds of staunch conspiracy theory supporters. Most likely, they will label these findings as "propaganda" or "government orders."
