Some other frequencies of non-ionizing radiation like UV, microwave and visible light have health implications, mainly for the eyes and skin.
- justinjlynn 8y agoThere's a difference between a 60kW arc lamp and a 2W night light. The massive microwave transmitter on the tower (the arc lamp) is thousands of times more powerful than the phone in your pocket (the night light). Yes, it's the same light but being up close and staring at the arc lamp could very well blind you - but the night light, no matter how long one stares? No.
- ShorsHammer 8y agoCan you cite some specific concern here about the 3G-4G range? On a personal level are you actually staying away from mobile phones given the risk that some commentators seem to imply?
- justinjlynn 8y agoNo, at this time, given the wide usage and absence of evidence of negative health effects despite wide deployment and study of the technology by a large number of otherwise unrelated entities, I have no concerns about about a negative impact to my health as a result of using permitted and certified mobile phone transceivers on and/or around my person. However, per my arc lamp analogy above, I would certainly not like to find myself in an industrial microwave oven while it is on. Even if it's non-ionising, being cooked while alive is likely to be quite harmful to my health. But then again, if that microwave had the same power my mobile has - it'd be rather a rubbish microwave and I'd be perfectly fine.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoArc lamp / microwave tower is still heat damage, not ionization damage.
- justinjlynn 8y agoYes, that was the point of the analogy.
