Risk perception
Endpoint
- degree of risk perception of EMF from 5G base stations in comparison to other EMF sources (e.g., mobile phones, microwaves, Bluetooth, power lines) and non-EMF sources (e.g., climate change, drinking water pollution, cigarette smoking); factors (e.g.,sex, age, smoking status, knowledge on EMF, severity of consequences,) that influence the risk perception
Considered exposure sources
Investigated group
3,393 adults took part in a survey in Korea in 2019.
