Electromagnetic contamination by wireless communication devices and its effects on health.

Abstract

With the arrival of 5G technology in Ecuador and the multiple devices that communicate by Wi-Fi networks, the deployment of this without wire has gained a lot of space, generating an electro-pollution and fueling concern about the effects this electromagnetic field has on public health. This prompted a thorough review of the results of studies in the medical and technological area to understand and determine the possibility that the waves could be causing serious diseases such as cancer, affectations in fertility and DNA, among others. Even without conclusive results about the relationship with any of these diseases, it is clear that prolonged exposure has health effects and it is necessary to take some preventive measures.
