Can RF radiation hurt you?
RF radiation has lower energy than some other types of non-ionizing radiation, like visible light and infrared, but it has higher energy than extremely low-frequency (ELF) radiation. If RF radiation is absorbed by the body in large enough amounts, it can produce heat. This can lead to burns and body tissue damage.
What are the symptoms of EMF exposure?
Some individuals have reported a wide range of non-specific health problems that they attribute to low-level exposure of electromagnetic fields (EMF). The symptoms most commonly reported include headaches, body pain, lethargy, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), nausea, burning sensation, heart arrhythmia and anxiety.
How long does RF treatment last?
The effects of radiofrequency treatments will continue to improve over the next few months as the skin produces new collagen. Results typically last for a minimum of six months, although with ongoing treatments, results are often long-lasting.
Do cell phones emit RF?
Cell Phones and Radio Frequency Energy Cell phones emit low levels of non-ionizing radiation when in use. The type of radiation emitted by cell phones is also referred to as radio frequency (RF) energy. The only consistently recognized biological effect of radiofrequency radiation in humans is heating.”
What amount of RF exposure is considered safe?
1.6 watts per kg
The safe limit for a mobile phone user is an SAR of 1.6 watts per kg (1.6 W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue, and compliance with this limit must be demonstrated before FCC approval is granted for marketing of a phone in the United States.
Are there any negative effects of RF radiation?
Almost everyone that complains of hypersensitivity to RF radiation complain of feelings of deep and abiding depression. It is like a deep fog and sadness that you just can’t shake. It is terrible. It is uncontrollable. And medications often don’t seem to help.
What are the symptoms of over exposure to RF?
There is a government doctrine on this very subject entitled OET-65. You must remember that RF exposure is cumulative and does the most damage over a long period of time. The symptoms of over-exposure to RF are stomach pains, scratchy/sandy feeling eyes, the internal feeling of overheating (possibly followed by stroke).
Is the use of radiofrequency harmful to humans?
Because it’s used for so many things, radiofrequency has been extensively studied for its impact on human health. According to the FDA, the World Health Organization has classified RF radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”—right along with coffee, power lines, and body powder.
What is the maximum level of RF exposure?
In the case of cellular and PCS cell site transmitters, the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines recommend a maximum permissible exposure level to the general public of approximately 580 microwatts per square centimeter.
