To everyone who keeps repeating "it's non-ionizing radiation, so any other effect than thermal is impossible":
1. saying something is impossible is not a scientific statement
2. RF is capable of specifically affecting enzyme reactions, random example: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2014/nr/c4nr00407h#!divAbstract https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2014/nr/c4nr0...

- willis936 7y agoThis ignores the primary issue of needing empirical evidence before claiming discovery. If non-ionizing radiation of a certain level is hazardous then it is provable. Affecting enzyme reactions is an observed effect, but what is the health risk?
- rini17 7y agoWe don't know yet, so.. better safe than sorry, no?
- sneak 7y agoImagine if we said this about the food that comes out of every new restaurant. Risk management is more than just universal risk aversion.
- rini17 7y agoYes, at least in my country, every restaurant is subject to stringent hygiene regulations and audits. Is it a problem for you?

- willis936 7y agoDon’t we? Plenty of people are exposed to power desnities of non-ionizing radiation that far exceed this FCC limit for decades. If there was a serious concern then would it have not already become clear?
- nomel 7y ago"What is the health risk?" is something that modern medicine can rarely tell us and has almost always been somewhere between lacking to absolutely wrong. Both are related to the inability to do long term studies, beyond the ones that me and you are currently part of.
