A recent letter to the editor, \u201c5G will harm Aspen\u2019s health,\u201d<\/a> shares misinformation about 5G and health. Here are the facts.<\/p>\n

First, there are no known health risks from radio-frequency energy at the low levels approved for use in wireless networks and mobile phones, according to the consensus of the international scientific community. This includes the expert opinion of the WHO, the American Cancer Society, the NIH, the FDA and many other institutions.<\/p>\n

Second, the assertion that 5G frequencies have not been studied is a myth. Radio frequencies used by 5G are not new. There have been dozens and dozens of studies and reviews focused on the effects of these 5G frequencies going back decades.<\/p>\n

Third, 5G signals are weaker \u2014 not stronger \u2014 than earlier wireless technologies when it comes to \u201cpath loss,\u201d the weakening of the signal as it travels through the air.<\/p>\n
