Despite the advantages associated with evolving
communication technologies, there exist some
disadvantages that have become life threatening as well.
The consequences of deploying 5G spectrum of
electromagnetic wave on vegetation in Africa are presented
in this work. According to different frequencies and
wavelength, the 5G electromagnetic spectrum is divided
into eight spectral band, including audio wave, radio wave,
infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma rays.
This work, focused on the impact of 5G spectrum
deployments in the mangrove rain forest, woodlands, semidesert and vegetation. In addition, the impact of this
deployment on climate change and pollution in the
environment was discussed in this work. Ultraviolet light
from the deployment of 5G electromagnetic spectrumwas
associated with the deterioration and alteration of canopy
area, dry mass, some biochemical and morphological
properties of leaves (chlorophyll, carotenoid and flavonoid
concentrations) however, those of shrubland, woodland,
thicket, savanna and dry forest were unaffected.
