I’ve heard the microwave radiation exposure(to communicate with the drones in terrain that wouldn’t allow it) during the Iraq War endured by drone pilots was obviously way higher than legally allowed within the United States at least. Definitely high enough to cause cancer.
- ajxs 7y agoI was always under the impression that microwave radiation, being non-ionizing, does not increase cancer-risk with exposure.
- debt 7y agoI don’t think they were only using microwaves.
- maccard 7y agoYou specifically called out microwaves in your precious comment.
- hevi_jos 7y agoThe fact that ionizing radiation causes cancer because it resonates with DNA bonds does not mean that other kinds of radiation could not cause other types of cancer. Other kind of radiation will resonate with bigger molecules and could do things like denaturalize them. Have you ever fried an egg. You are denaturalizing a protein that is liquid and becomes solid, and you have done that just with heat alone. You can actually denaturalize an egg in the microwave oven, and there are certainly lots of health problems when the microwave oven leaks microwaves. When you denaturalize something in the body, it stops working as it should. This creates a cascade of things that stops working as they should.
