I don't see anything there about 5G?

The linked source doesn't contain the word "5G" but it talks about radiation from 30 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz (30 kHz - 300 GHz). This encompasses 5G by a very large margin. The article makes the following conclusion about this frequency range:

> The only consistently recognized biological effect of radiofrequency radiation in humans is heating. The ability of microwave ovens to heat food is one example of this effect of radiofrequency radiation. Radiofrequency exposure from cell phone use does cause heating to the area of the body where a cell phone or other device is held (e.g., the ear and head). However, it is not sufficient to measurably increase body temperature. There are no other clearly established effects on the human body from radiofrequency radiation.
