Abstract:
This work shows a compilation of the results of different studies related with the affectations in living organisms produced by electromagnetic waves radiation based on their power and frequency ranges. Currently, the growing of the population throughout the planet makes necessary an analysis of the nature of these electromagnetic waves and their effects on living beings, specially in wireless communications field. The information to be transmitted requires that the next generation of mobile telephony (5G) uses bands with frequencies higher than those used by the current generation and previous generations for its operation; for this reason, it is necessary to establish frequency ranges that could be considered non-harmful for living beings. In the present work, a detailed study was done about electromagnetic waves, including the frequency bands that were previously and currently used in mobile telephony, and some of their effects on living organisms, with the aim of publicizing some of the possible consequences of the evolution of mobile telephony on them.
