Strengths and Limitations of Conventional Approaches to the Risk Assessment and Management of EMF Exposure From 5G and B5G Networks

This paper describes the current science-based approach to ensuring public safety from RF-EMF base stations. It acknowledges that a degree of concern persists despite fact dose limits are seldom if ever approached in practice. One plausible contributor discord is tendency within parts academia and by some planning authorities pursue technocratic policy siting wherein concerns attributed scientific uncertainty over health risks, whereas reality societal stations broader. Thus, potential mis-framing debate as purely issue leads inappropriate risk communication exercises which polarise situation disenfranchising other potentially legitimate concerns. recommended more attention should be paid non-health related issues, could handled thoughtful democratic / deliberative process, this not conflated with uncertain possibly non-existent risks posed RF EMF complying existing limits.
