Biological damage from weak non-ionizing radiation is on par with ionizing. The fact that most commenters on HN can't seem to get their heads around, or even bother to research, is that this damage happens via two different mechanisms. One is simple and direct (ionizing) and the other is indirect and quite complex. In short, it happens via upregulation of ROS with oxidative tissue damage as result - also DNA damage.
