A group of researchers conducted more than 30,000 measurements of 5G signal strength in various locations in Switzerland and, accordingly, made certain conclusions.

As reported by “NBN” with a link to the project material GOLIAT, a large-scale study of the radiation intensity from smartphones and 5G network towers in Switzerland, has revealed a certain paradox: despite the fact that in rural areas the overall “background” indicator is lower, users receive a higher “dose” from their devices compared to cities (29 mW/m² instead of 16 mW/m²).
According to Adrián Fernández Veludo, a co-author of the study, this trend is explained simply: in rural areas, where 5G network coverage is slightly less dense, smartphones have to work at maximum power to stay connected:
…The typical mobile phone user is more exposed to radiation in areas with low base station density.
Also, a number of studies demonstrate that prolonged exposure to radio frequency radiation can cause a certain type of biological “defects”, in particular, a slight increase in the temperature of the skin and muscle tissue, but there is no definitive evidence that these factors are too harmful to health.
