Can 5G signals actually harm the nervous system?

5G uses radiofrequency energy, which is non-ionizing. At very high intensities, radiofrequency energy can heat tissue, but typical public exposure from wireless networks is generally below established exposure limits. Current evidence does not establish that ordinary 5G exposure damages the nervous system.

A tower being nearby, or being installed around the same time as a change in health, doesn’t show that it caused that change. If someone is experiencing symptoms, those symptoms deserve attention, but a clinician can help assess them without assuming 5G is the cause.

The claims about attention, social media habits, and declining quality of life are separate from the question of radio exposure. Those changes have many possible explanations, and noticing them alongside more towers isn’t evidence that the towers caused them.
