Biological responses in the 6–100 GHz literature

Simkó et al. · 2019 · International journal of environmental research and public health

What this paper brings together

A structured pragmatic review of 94 in-vivo and in-vitro publications at 6–100 GHz, with studies concentrated around 30–65 GHz.

The authors’ synthesis or proposal

The authors report responses in 80% of animal and 58% of cell investigations. They highlight skin and eye heating questions, sparse coverage in some frequency bands and environmental research needs.

Reading the connections carefully

Those percentages count reported biological responses, not harmful outcomes or independent replications. Study quality and temperature controls were often insufficient, and the review cannot establish non-thermal harm or a meaningful overall safety verdict for 5G.
