Default What is the correlation between radio waves and cancer?

So far, there is no correlation between non-ionizing radiation and cancer,
which includes cellphones in the 800 - 900 MHz band.

I know that there is some concern that cell phones may cause cancer.
But is there any possible correlation between the radio waves we use
to communicate, either by commercial radio or other sources and
cancer? Or what about the radio waves that are being emitted from our
personal electronic appliances? I have heard that there is some
concern that if you live near a power line that you may be at risk for
cancer. What is the state of research into this subject?

Thanks
