The proliferation of 5G technology requires the installation of new radio frequency equipment (antennas, base stations) next to the existing 4G network elements. New frequency bands have been allocated and opened for 5G services in the lower and higher GHz bands. Due to the lack of reliable and conclusive experiments and the uncontrolled spread of false information via media and social networks on the internet, a never seen before resistance has arisen from the public. Although many papers have recently been published suggesting adverse health effects, most of them were inadequately designed, conducted, and evaluated in order to be conclusive. Nevertheless, there is a need for proper experiments. This paper highlights current results, emerging critics, and presents a recommendation for further investigation.
