E-M radiation is NOT the same as ionizing radiation.
- CyberDildonics 8y agoIt is all electro-magnetic radiation, just at different frequencies.

One of the few major safety topics you'll learn in getting an HAM radio license is about RF burns. However, you have to use a fairly large amount of wattage (like more energy than a cell phone can even hold), and you have to stay located very close to the antenna. So it is _possible_ to receive a burn from a device emitting non-ionizing radiation, but you will not develop cancer from it. The wavelength is just too low to damage your DNA. https://mirion.s3.amazonaws.com/cms4_mirion/files/images/content-images/learning-center/what-is-radiation_002.jpg https://mirion.s3.amazonaws.com/cms4_mirion/files/images/con...
