Several years ago I interned at a company that dealt with millimeter wave equipment.
My mentor there was at great pains to train all of us in safety practices. He mentioned several times that the incidence of eye problems in telecommunication engineers who dealt with this sort of equipment was much higher.
We were trained to always cap any emitters to prevent spraying the lab.
- itcrowd 7y agoI don't know about incidence rates (source?) but obviously lab equipment is more dangerous than a consumer product. I don't understand what point you're trying to make.
- driverdan 7y agoThe danger to eyes is due to cooking them with high intensity radio waves. It's the same effect as using a microwave oven to cook food. Cell phones and cell towers don't emit enough power to do this.
