Wireless device radiation and health
The antennas contained in mobile phones, and various other electronic devices, emit radiation which consists of non-ionising radiation or radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) such as microwaves. The parts of the head or body nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy in the form of heat. Since at least the 1990s, scientists have researched whether the now-ubiquitous radiation associated with mobile phone antennas, Wi-Fi routers or cell phone towers is affecting human health. Mobile phone networks use various bands of RF radiation, some of which overlap with the microwave range. In response to public concern, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF (Electric and Magnetic Fields) Project in 1996 to assess the scientific evidence of possible health effects of RF EMF with a frequency range from 3 kilohertz (KHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). They have conducted a survey in 2019 among 300 radiofrequency scientists to prioritize the most important potential...
