Published study by Lennart Hardell and Mona Nilsson in the Fortune Journal of Health Sciences (2025) documented the levels of radiofrequency (RF) radiation near 10 schools in the city of Örebro in Sweden—finding RF radiation levels far exceeded health-based exposure guidelines.

Abstract

‘In Sweden as well as in many other countries the fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is rolled-out since 2019/2020. This has caused increasing environmental exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to RF radiation. Exposure sources in schools such as Wi-Fi routers, wireless connected mobile phones, and computers may cause high RF-exposure inside the schools but also outside sources, such as mobile phone base stations, may contribute significantly. In this study outside environmental exposure to RF radiation from 4G and 5G base stations was measured in October 2024 in close proximity to 10 schools in Sweden. The maximum levels ranged from 10,716 to 68,452 μ/m2. These levels far exceed the EUROPAEM EMF guidelines for daytime RF radiation exposure 10-1,000 μW/m2, nighttime 1-100 μW/m2, and for sensitive persons 0.1-10 μW/m2’

Conclusion

‘Our results of RF radiation measurements indicate that the exposure to RF-radiation from nearby 4G and 5G base stations in the surroundings of 10 schools in Sweden is high. These levels may cause increased risks of both short term and long term negative effects on children’s health.’
