Doctors debunk link between 5G towers and cancer development
Recently, the topic of the potential harm of new-generation mobile communication technologies has been actively discussed on social media and the internet. Many users are concerned that 5G towers may negatively affect human health and even trigger the development of dangerous diseases, including cancer.
However, experts urge people not to trust such rumors. Oncologist Andrey Pylev officially stated in a recent interview that, to date, there is no reliable scientific data confirming a link between radiation from 5G towers and the onset of oncological processes in the human body.
Experts explain that radiofrequency radiation from base stations belongs to the non-ionizing type of radiation. This means that its energy is insufficient to damage the DNA structure in human cells, which is the primary factor in cancer development. Radiation levels from towers are strictly controlled by state sanitary standards and remain within safe limits.
According to medical professionals, such fears often arise due to a lack of knowledge about how modern technologies work. The emergence of new communication standards is always accompanied by a wave of distrust, just as it was previously with 3G and 4G networks, which have since become a familiar part of our lives.
Thus, experts emphasize that residents of Russian cities should not fear 5G base stations. Regular medical check-ups and a healthy lifestyle remain far more important factors for disease prevention than the proximity of mobile communication towers to one's home.
