It is mandatory to review environmental radiofrequency electromagnetic field measurement protocols and exposure regulations: An opinion article

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the use of telecommunication technologies. This has led to an increase in the number of users and, consequently, in the number of operational terminals. Mobile networks are continuously improving, which is why, from 2004 to the present, three consecutive generations of mobile networks have been developed (3G, 4G, and 5G) with the consequent improvement in their characteristics, such as higher transmission speed and bandwidths for the transmission of signals. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database in 2004 there, were 1.76 billion mobile phone subscriptions in the world, in 2020 this figure increased to 8.27 billion. By 2023, there are expected to be 13.1 billion mobile terminals, almost 10% of which will be 5G technology. As technology grows, so does the concern of the public, who feels that they are not adequately informed about the possible effects of long-term exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic waves. There are different sources of radiofrequency electromagnetic field radiation like base stations that allow communication between wireless devices. These base stations are located outdoors on the rooftops of buildings, and indoors like routers, laptops, and mobile phones, using wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth or WiFi.
