low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects.
The biological effects of radio frequency
energy should not be confused with the
effects from other types of
electromagnetic energy.
Very high levels of electromagnetic
energy, such as is found in X-rays and
gamma rays, can ionize biological
tissues. Ionization is a process where
electrons are stripped away from their
normal locations in atoms and
molecules. It can permanently damage
biological tissues including DNA, the
genetic material.
The energy levels associated with radio
frequency energy, including both radio
waves and microwaves, are not great
enough to cause ionization of atoms and
molecules. Therefore, RF energy is a
type of non-ionizing radiation. Other
types of non-ionizing radiation include
visible light, infrared radiation (heat), and
other forms of electromagnetic radiation
with relatively low frequencies.
While RF energy does not ionize
particles, large amounts can increase
body temperatures and cause tissue
