Potential health effects of 5G systems (NextGEM)

Our society can no longer live without technology that uses radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF). Especially in telecommunications, we cannot escape 3G, 4G and now 5G technology. At the same time, concerns are growing about the possible health impacts of exposure to these electromagnetic fields. The European Union has therefore launched various initiatives to research the possible effects. The Smart Sensor Systems research group is affiliated with one of these research projects, the NextGEM consortium. The goal of the project is to ensure human safety when using existing and future technology based on electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Therefore, the team is investigating whether exposure to electromagnetic fields causes health problems in people and whether there are changes at the cellular level.
