Default What is the correlation between radio waves and cancer?

But is there any possible correlation between the radio waves we use

cancer. *What is the state of research into this subject?

Thanks


This has nothing to do with radio waves (electromagnetic radiation),
but there is ALWAYS a correlation between any thing. Correlation goes
from -1 to +1, passing through zero. So, yes, there is a correlation,
but it may be negative, it may be zero, or it may be positive, but it
is always something.
