On the Health Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation
We've all seen or heard people who claim that electromagnetic radiation has negative health effects. I decided to look into the scientific literature to see whether the claims are true and if yes what health effects one could expect. The search is a preliminary one so it will not be particularly structured.
As a start, Wikipedia makes an interesting claim on the non-ionizing radiation page. The article writes that:
Non-ionizing (or non-ionising) radiation refers to any type of electromagnetic radiation that does not carry enough energy per quantum (photon energy) to ionize atoms or moleculesâthat is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule.
