The recent publication by the French health agency ANSES on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value of mobile phones carried close to the body found that the scientific literature has not established any adverse health effects associated with their use. ANSES did encourage consumers “to comply with the operating instructions (regarding distance) mentioned by manufacturers in the instructions”. In their communication, ANSES also confirmed that “the electromagnetic radiation emissions from mobile telephones corresponded to a "worst case" situation, in which the device was emitting at maximum power throughout the test. In principle, this is not the case under real conditions or use.”

5G is the 5th generation of mobile networks, a significant evolution of today’s 4G networks. It is being designed to meet the very large growth in data and connectivity of today’s modern society, the internet of things with billions of connected devices and tomorrow’s innovations. In addition to delivering faster connections and greater capacity, a very important advantage of 5G is the fast response time referred to as latency, which for 5G will be around 1 millisecond which is virtually instantaneous. This enables the widespread connection of devices for our smart cities and homes, autonomous and safer vehicles, enhanced health care and education.

There has been a lot of interest in the biological effects of millimetre waves recently. This 'study-in-a-slide' provides a quick overview of some key points from a recent detailed review of the literature undertaken by Alekseev and Ziskin that forms chapter six in the 'Handbook of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields' (B. Greenebaum and F. Barnes, editors), 4th ed, 2019.

The SAR value is a measure of the amount of RF power absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. Exposure limits have been set by expert scientists and provide for substantial margins of safety.
