dc.description.abstractThe last two decades have witnessed an unprecedented evolution in mobile communication, progressing from voice-centric 2 G systems to ultra-fast 5 G networks with latency in the millisecond range. This technological transformation - characterized by exponential growth in mobile data consumption, subscriber density, and network complexity - has significantly improved societal connectivity and digital accessibility. However, this rapid advancement has also led to a silent and largely overlooked consequence: the continuous and pervasive exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields (RF-EMF). This paper comprehensively analyzes the historical development of mobile communication technologies (0 G to 5 G), the corresponding increase in RF-EMF frequencies and intensities, and the emerging public health concerns linked to this exposure. Using long-term spectral measurements in commercial zones, residential areas, and radio link sites, the study reveals a persistent baseline of electromagnetic pollution that intensifies with human activity and data traffic. Particularly concerning is the accumulation of RF-EMF in living environments during peak communication hours. Current safety standards and exposure limits are discussed with an emphasis on temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity of RF-EMF distribution. The findings underscore the urgent need for continuous, real-time monitoring and epidemiological assessment of electromagnetic environments, particularly in densely populated urban areas and critical public infrastructure. The study advocates for policy-driven mitigations to balance technological benefits with long-term health and environmental sustainability. © 2025 IEEE.
