What About

5G technology is deploying fast but, to date, the scientific community is not yet sure of the consequences of electromagnetic pollution on humans, especially on the more sensitive, children, adolescents and the sick. Given that for ionizing radiation these risks are already scientifically proven, possible health risks that could be associated with various forms of non-ionizing radiation are still under investigation and prudence is advised by suggesting avoiding installing antennas near hospitals, schools and kindergartens.

WHO is conducting a health risk assessment from exposure to radiofrequencies, covering the entire radiofrequency range, including 5G, to be published by 2022.
