The 5G Appeal is a formal scientific document signed by over 240 scientists and medical doctors from more than 40 countries calling for a moratorium on the rollout of 5G wireless technology until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by independent scientists. The appeal was submitted to the European Union and other governing bodies.
The signatories — all of whom have published peer-reviewed research on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields — expressed concern that 5G will substantially increase population exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on top of existing exposures from 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies. The appeal noted that existing RF-EMF exposure has already been shown to cause harm.
The scientists cited evidence of increased cancer risk, cellular stress, genetic damage, reproductive harm, neurological effects, and learning and memory deficits as effects of existing RF-EMF exposure, and warned that 5G's use of higher millimeter-wave frequencies and dense network of small cell antennas would dramatically increase population exposure without adequate safety testing.
Key Findings
- •Over 240 scientists and medical doctors from 40+ countries signed the appeal for a 5G moratorium.
- •All signatories have published peer-reviewed research on biological effects of electromagnetic fields.
- •Existing RF-EMF exposure already associated with cancer, genetic damage, reproductive harm, and neurological effects.
- •5G will dramatically increase population exposure through dense small cell antenna networks.
- •No adequate safety testing has been conducted on 5G frequencies before widespread deployment.
Methodology
The appeal summarized the scientific evidence base as documented in thousands of peer-reviewed publications on the biological effects of RF-EMF. Signatories were verified as having published relevant peer-reviewed research. The document was formally submitted to EU institutions and national governments with requests for policy action.
Why This Matters for Families
When 240 scientists who study EMF professionally call for a halt to 5G deployment, families should take notice. Until 5G safety is independently verified, families can reduce exposure by using wired internet connections at home, keeping wireless devices away from children's bodies, and advocating for wired technology in schools.
