Abstract
Comment to Mobile Cellular Data & Wi-Fi Use Are Not Associated with Adverse Health Effects by Rabiei et al. Arribas E, Escobar I, Ramirez-Vazquez R. Comment to Mobile Cellular Data and Wi-Fi Use Are Not Associated with Adverse Health Effects by Rabiei et al., Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering. J Biomed Phys Eng. 2023 Dec 1;13(6):577-578. doi: 10.31661/jbpe.v0i0.2310-1669. No abstract Excerpt We concur with the authors in the following statement: “Considering the limitations of our study, further large- scale studies are warranted”, due to the substantial expansion of wireless communications in the last 25 years. Moreover, the rollout of the fifth generation (5G) of telecommunication infrastructures is underway and requires thorough examination to ensure that it does not pose any risks to human health, particularly for the most susceptible populations such as children and the elderly. Thus, it is crucial to conduct comprehensive research and risk assessments before implementing this new technology. Open access paper: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
