5G new radio (NR) is a new radio access network technology that will enable ultra-high speed, ultra-high reliability and ultra-low latency mobile services. The deployment of 5G NR is actively ongoing now in many regions worldwide. Nevertheless, the public is still concerned about the electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from 5G networks due to the potential health risk. The goal of this research is to investigate the EMF exposure from downlink transmission of ultra-dense 5G mobile networks. In particular, both urban macro (UMa) cell and urban micro (UMi) cell scenarios are considered in this study. The EMF exposure level is simulated by using several standard path loss propagation models such as the free space model, 3GPP model, alpha-beta-gamma model and close-in reference model in both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight scenarios. Then, the EMF exposure from 5G network is compared to that of the LTE network. Some results on the safe distance between 5G base station and the user equipment to minimize health risk are also presented.
