Her geçen gün artan miktarda etrafımızı saran kablosuz teknolojilerin sağlık ve biyolojik etkileri ile ilgili henüz kesin bir bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Radyo Frekans (RF) ve mikrodalga (MW) alanları kapsayan 3 kHz - 300 GHz frekans bandında yer alan elektromanyetik alanlar ile çalışan bu teknolojiler 40 yıla yakın süredir varlığını sürdürmektedir. Günümüzde kullanılan teknolojilerde Birinci nesil (G) teknolojilerine kıyasla daha yüksek frekans ve enerji kullandığı görülmektedir. Yeni nesil 5G ve 6G teknolojilerinde daha yüksek frekanslı ve enerjili milimetre dalgalar (MMW) ve terahertz frekanslı dalgalar kullanılacaktır. Bu teknolojilerin gelişimiyle artan bilgi paylaşım hızından yararlanan bazı gruplar, son günlerin en önemli sağlık problemi olan Korona virüs (COVID-19) pandemisinin yayılmasında cep telefonu ve baz istasyonu radyasyonu maruziyetini sorumlu tutmuştur. Bu derlemede önceki nesiller ve yeni nesil cep telefonu teknolojilerinin sağlık etkilerine ilişkin bilimsel yayınlar incelemiştir.

New Generation Mobile Phone Frequencies and Biological Effects

Öz

There is no definitive information about the health and biological effects of wireless technologies that surround us with an increasing amount every day. These technologies, which work with electromagnetic fields in the 3 kHz - 300 GHz frequency band covering Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) fields, have been in existence for nearly 40 years. It is seen that the technologies used today use higher frequency and energy compared to the first generation (G) technologies. In the new generation 5G and 6G technologies, higher frequency and energy millimeter waves (MMW) and terahertz frequency waves will be used. Benefiting from the increasing speed of information sharing with the development of these technologies, some groups have blamed mobilephone and base station radiation exposure in the spread of the Corona virüs (COVID-19) pandemic, the most important health problem of recent days. In this review, scientific publications on the health effects of previous generations and new generation mobile phone technologies were examined.
