The canonical reference is by ICNIRP which references many studies at the end of the document. This is also actively reviewed based on new evidence all the time, which is the entire point of ICNIRP!

I make no comment on Scientific American. I don't read it and have no experience with it.
Just a point here to note ...
There are health effects from RF as it stands but it's usually localised heating, hence why some handheld radios are known as "Chinese eyeball cookers" but they tend to run +40dBm into an antenna with some gain thus ending up with 25W ERP close range strapped to your face - that's another 4dB or so. Your average phone kicks out a max of 23dBm if it's really kicking it out hard. That's 125x less power. Your wifi router is half that again. That's 250x less power than the eyeball cooker. And none of those emit ionising radiation. And your wifi router isn't strapped to your head.
As mentioned earlier my Ryzen's motherboard shows up bang on 800MHz with more ERP than my router...
Far far far more worrying for me is all the pollution and crap in the air I'm huffing up every day living near an airport.

Ah yes, that reminds me of certain esoteric people, who spend lots of energy finding new things to worry about and struggle to avoid it, like bad chemicals from the washing maschine and of course 5G, while smoking the whole time.
- qz2 6y agoYep. My father is one of them. Has cancer but it's driving a couple of diesel cars that did it, not the smoking for 60 years...
