You may have heard or read somewhere the overlapping concern that as our technology and communications continue to grow and advance so does the risk to our health. With so many conspiracy theories about radiation and the effect our cellphones have on our bodies, it’s hard to know what really is going on.

In today’s episode of 5G Guys, we tackle the many questions, concerns, and theories around cell sites, radiation, wireless technology, and the new 5G network. It’s easy to get caught up in the collective fear around technology and its advancements when you don’t know how it works.

You’ll learn all about the history of cellular safety and the precautions that have been in place since the Telecom act as well as more tips and tricks that can help set your mind at ease when handling your cellphone.

Listen in as we discuss the truth about cell towers and sites and the misconceptions of how they work.

We talk about older cellphones versus their new counterparts and how the government is working to create a safer environment through regulations and safety precautions.
