Default What is the correlation between radio waves and cancer?

The ONLY effect that radio frequencies can do to humans is thermal.
You have to increase the frequencies to the upper visible region
(blue since we are talking frequency rather than wavelength) before
there is any ionizing radiation. Note, however, that thermal effects
can be damaging.


I had posted some links here some months back about the other effects of
rf. Seems there is a little more than just heating going on. I have
noticed that the heating effect I "feel" on extended cell phone use is
not actual heat.

Interestingly, most cell phone fear is based on cancer. It's not hardly
likely, for the reasons already outlined.

The biggest danger to cell phone towers is if one falls on you.

I'll not go so far as to say that there are no effects however. I
suspect something is happening that we might not know about at this time
- and there is some tantalizing evidence showing in some of the research.
