"Amid the enthusiasm for limitless innovation, questions about exposure to 5G's radiofrequency waves remain in the background, sparking concerns about the health implications of wireless network technologies."
"According to Ericsson, 5G subscriptions are predicted to reach 6.4 billion by the end of 2031, establishing its dominance over 4G in the years ahead."
"In the United Arab Emirates, telecom operators have been at the forefront of expanding 5G infrastructure. e& began its 5.5G rollout in 2025, with expansion plans from 2026 onward."
"The Middle East has similarly taken the step to examine the potential health implications of 5G exposure. In 2024, researchers from the Saudi Journal of Medicine and Public Health noted that 5G-generated thermal effects remained minimal and within safety margins, with impacts limited to the skin's surface."
"In addition, a study by the EM-Radiation Research Trust showed symptoms, including sleep disturbances, fatigue, headaches, irritability, difficulty concentrating, impaired short-term memory, and skin problems, related to 5G radiation exposure after 24 hours. Interestingly, the study noted that symptoms subsided upon relocation of individuals to areas with lower radiation levels and no nearby 5G base stations."
