5G is a marketing term for a variety of new mobile phone technologies that use very high frequency (GHz) parts of the radiospectrum to allow increased speed of data transfer. It has prompted unprecedented calls for a review of health effects[1] and has widely been criticised for breaching the precautionary principle.[2]
Health Concerns
Hundreds of scientists have registered their concerns about the health impacts of 5G technology, observing that "Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plants and animals."[3] It is suspected to exert an "oxidative" stress on cells, to which some people are particularly susceptible.[4]
5G postponements
A pilot project to try 5G deployment in Brussels was suspended in April 2019 due to concern that it would contravene radiospectrum emission laws[5] and might be injurious to health.[6] In April 2019, Florence became the first Italian city to halt 5G deployment, also due to the precautionary principle.[7][8]
The canton government of Geneva, Switzerland, declared a preliminary moratorium on the 5G rollout there due to concern about health risks.[9]

Technical issues
A May 2019 report in Semiconductor Engineering reported that "5G Heats Up Base Stations", threatening reliability and signal integrity when in heavy use.[10]
