French ANSES mobilizes to assess health risks of 5G

28 January, 2020.

The deployment of communication technology "5 th generation" promises innovative services based on new infrastructure. These technological developments will modify the methods of exposure of the population, and will require adapting the measurement and evaluation methods. As part of the deployment of 5G planned for the end of the year in France, National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) has undertaken expert work aimed at assessing the health risks linked to the exposure of populations to these technologies. To this end, ANSES stresses the need to have data describing the technologies developed and their installations in order to characterize the associated exposure levels and to assess any health effects.
