The deployment of 5 G wireless technology has generated considerable interest and debate regarding its potential effects on human health. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the current scientific understanding of the potential health implications associated with 5 G technology. Drawing upon a wide range of research studies, reviews, and expert opinions, we explore the implications through which 5 G signals interact with the human body. This work presents a balanced perspective, summarizing both the potential benefits of 5 G technology, such as improved data transfer speeds, reduced latency, and enhanced connectivity, as well as concerns that have been raised about its effects on human’s tissues. We discuss various aspects of health impacts, including thermal and nonthermal effects, focusing on the existing research on radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and their potential to cause adverse health outcomes. Simulation results show the negative effect of radio waves on human’s tissues.
