Default What is the correlation between radio waves and cancer?

There's also the issue of delayed reactions to RF exposure. This is

The delay for skin cancer risk after sun exposure (which is also EM rad)
is more like 40 years.


Yep. We may be dead before symptoms appear.

In addition, skin cancer is related to lifetime exposure to
UV radiation. Most skin cancers appear after age 50, but the
sun's damaging effects begin at an early age. Therefore,
protection should start in childhood to prevent skin cancer
later in life.

It's possible that brain cancer induced by RF exposure might work the
same way. At this time, there's no evidence of such a mechanism.
Widespread handheld cell phone use started in about 1990. If it
really takes 40 years to see problems, we'll just have to wait until
2030.
