This online survey experiment tested whether risk-communication strategies affect public acceptance of 5G base stations amid health-related EMF concerns in China. Government and industry sources increased support more than civil society sources, and gain-framed messages increased acceptance more than loss-framed…

This cross-sectional study tested whether providing precautionary advice about RF-EMF in the context of 5G changes risk perception and trust in general population samples from Germany and Greece. Precautionary information showed few effects, increasing only one risk perception measure and only in Germany, and the…

This pilot animal study exposed mature male Wistar rats to 4.9 GHz electromagnetic fields described as 5G-standard, for 15 days (2 hours/day) in a semi-anechoic shielded chamber. Open-field testing found no clear behavioral differences between unmodulated and modulated exposures. Statistically significant behavioral…

This qualitative exploratory study examined affective reactions and perceived RF-EMF exposure in everyday mobile phone and base-station situations in the context of the 5G rollout in Germany. Participants expressed more negative associations with base stations than with mobile phones, though RF-EMF exposure was only…

This exposure assessment measured in situ smartphone uplink duty cycles for 4G LTE and 5G NR across six voice, video, and data use cases. Measurements were taken at ten positions near a 4G and 5G base-station site in Belgium. Reported duty cycles varied by application, with some use cases showing low-to-moderate duty…

This article is a comment on a previously published correlation study assessing whether RF-EMF exposure relates to survey-based health indicators such as sleep, headache, and fatigue. The authors state they performed a detailed analysis of the original study and offer clarifications. The abstract does not provide the…
