The data for the study are selected from the Search tool provided by Scopus, through the definition of several filters with a total of 348 documents published during the period from 2016 to 2020. In this way, a significant growth of research related to the 5G network and its impact on human health is determined. Once the search parameters were identified, the researchers proceeded to a qualitative analysis of the theories framed in the topic related above to describe the position of some authors regarding the use of this type of network and to define whether there is any risk to health.
