A new study from Constructor University in Bremen has shed light on the longstanding debate surrounding the potential risks of 5G mobile communication frequencies on human skin cells. Conducted by two research groups led by Prof. Dr. Alexander Lerchl and Prof. Dr. Marc Torsten Hütt, the research found no indication of cell damage even under extreme testing conditions that exceeded real-world exposure levels by up to ten times.
The study assessed the impacts of electromagnetic fields associated with 5G technology on human skin cells, specifically fibroblasts and keratinocytes. In a meticulously designed experiment, these cells were subjected to field strengths dramatically surpassing the legal exposure limits for both 2 and 48 hours. The control groups were either unexposed or subjected to UV radiation as a comparative benchmark. This comprehensive exploration employed a blind experimental setup to ensure its statistical reliability.
The findings were definitive: there were no significant alterations observed in gene expression or DNA methylation that could be linked to the exposure to 5G frequencies. Any minor differences noted fell well within the bounds of variability expected from chance.
Prof. Lerchl, an expert in electromagnetic fields, stated, “Our data strongly support the assessment that 5G frequencies do not cause harmful effects on human skin cells.” Prof. Hütt further highlighted the importance of scientific rigor in addressing public concerns surrounding the technology, emphasizing their commitment to methodological precision.
This research not only addresses health concerns related to 5G technology but also contributes to the broader discourse on the safety and implications of increasing wireless data transmission in modern society. The study reinforces the notion that, with proper scientific oversight, emerging technologies can be evaluated critically without unfounded fears, fostering a more informed public discussion about 5G and its implementation.
