According to Professor John William Frank, an epidemiologist and physician at the
University of Edinburgh, we should “err on the side of caution” by delaying any further rollout of 5G networks, “pending more conclusive research” on its safety.
Frank made his argument in a peer-reviewed paper published in the
Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.
5G doubts fueled by scientific uncertainty
5G technology has been hailed by governments, as well as certain vested interests, as transformative, promising economic and lifestyle benefits through greatly boosting wireless and mobile connectivity.
Compared to previous-generation technologies, 5G has a higher transmitter density, meaning that it needs more transmitter masts over a given distance. This exposes more people to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields at levels that, Frank argues, could potentially be harmful to human health.
Should health effects be studied before 5G rollouts continue?

The ongoing fifth-generation (5G) network rollouts should be stopped in the meantime, until more clinical studies and imperative research can be carried on the confirmed health effects being associated with the next-generation wireless standard, a notable health researcher has advised.
According to Professor John William Frank from the Usher Institute at the University of Edinburgh, the transmitter density required for 5G means that more people will be exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs), and at levels that emerging evidence suggests, could cause “suspected adverse health effects.”
“A growing number of engineers, scientists, and doctors internationally [are] calling on governments to raise their safety standards for RF-EMFs, commission more and better research, and hold off on further increases in public exposure, pending clearer evidence of safety,” the professor wrote.
