Can 5G Networks cause diseases? No, this is basically a rumour spread around by rumour mongers, and shouldn't be given credibility. No, this is basically a rumour spread around by rumour mongers, and shouldn't be given credibility. You are correct. 5G network used in telecommunication falls within radio waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. The radio waves band has very high wavelength (the property that makes it travel several kilometers) and very small frequency (and small energy). For any electromagnetic radiation to cause disease to human, it has to possess minimum energy to ionize water molecules (since human cells are made up of 70% water). The minimum energy to ionize water has been proven experimentally by scientists to be 18 eV whereas the highest energy of electromagnetic radiation in radio waves band is 0.00001 eV. This shows that all radio waves energies are not sufficient to ionize water molecule, therefore, 5G networks and all other radio waves of electromagnetic radiation can not cause diseases to humans. Although, they can slightly increase the heat around an area but not capable of any significant harm Thank you Ayodeji.
