A British scientist has controversially claimed that the rollout of 5G networks should be halted until the safety of the technology has been tested and its safety proven.
Professor John William Frank, a physician and epidemiologist from the University of Edinburgh, says we should 'err on the side of caution' by delaying any further roll-out of 5G globally, 'pending more conclusive research' on its safety.
5G requires more transmitter masts in a given stretch of land than previous generations of broadband cellular networks, like 4G.
Because of this, he believes more people will be exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) at levels 'potentially harmful to health'.
