A randomized triple-blind study of 22 young adults found no measurable acute effect of environmental-level 26 GHz millimeter wave exposure on electrodermal activity, a marker of sympathetic nervous system activation. The authors note that these results contrast with reported effects at lower 5G frequencies, suggesting frequency-specific biological interactions, and call for complementary studies.

"Environmental-level 26 GHz exposure does not produce detectable acute effects on sympathetic nervous system activity as measured through electrodermal responses."

"Results support current guidelines yet emphasize the need for complementary study."

Exposure

"Participants underwent two sessions (real and sham exposure) with electric field intensities of 2 V/m at head level and 1 V/m at torso level, representing upper environmental exposure ranges [for] 25.5 min"
