You cannot generalise like that, as it depends, among other things, on the dose.
I'm nowhere claiming that radio devices are evil killing machines, but one cannot claim they are completely harmless either. It always depends on a lot of parameters.
For that matter, it is equally established that you can generate carcinogens by frying/roasting or even microwaving food. And getting exposed to sunlight causes some nasty photochemistry that has also mutagenic potential.
I'm not sure why you bring the FCC in but you are wrong. The FCC has been stipulating RF safety requirements for quite some time. In fact, even entry-level FCC licensed amateurs (and amateurs in other legislations too) have to assess their installations and determine controlled access zones based on RF exposure limits. Incidentally, it is no problem whatsoever to exceed safe limits even with a low-power transmitter.
I don't know why are you arguing here.I'm telling you,and so are the others too,that radiation is a very BIG AND DANGEROUS word to many GENERAL PEOPLE.They think that radiation is big nuclear bomb kind of stuff that cause cancer.
While radiowave is a radiation,so is your laptop screen and the microwave that cooks your food.
There are many kinds of radiation in the electromagnetic specrum.It ranges from your 'harmless' microwave to your gammarays.
Microwave can be harmful and cause cancer scienctifically but that is a very idealised scenario.Many things can cause cancer too and even a higher chance.
You don't believe why i say when many people see radiation is a big word?The truth is they are ignorant.Nope,don't argue,it's the truth.
I've told you that everything around us,the table,grass outside yourwindow,every god dam thing and not just carbon-12 alone.
carbon-12 is merely a single radioisotope out of the many radioisope.
And since everything decay,everything around your is decaying every second and we call it half life.
Half life is the time taken for half the atom in a sample to decay and in this case,the atom refers to anything around us since everything around us is made of atoms.
Now whenever anything decay interms of nuclear physic,they emit radiation.
Thus,everything is emitting radiation every second.
Maybe the table made out of wood you bought has a half-life of 100 years.Nope,the time it starts decaying doesn't commerence at the time you bought it.It starts at the time this tree was grew,planted,alive.So maybe,tmr is it's 100years.
You are getting too hype on on the sterotypical and ignorant views of radiation.Just because some sciencetist or some article says radiowave causes cancer,you freak out.
It's suppose to read in the scientific context,theorectically under all favourable conditions for cancer to occur.
They might say exposure to radiowave increases chances of getting cancer by 10000 times..haha...well yea it will.Mathematically correct only.
People are just too focused on the cause of cancer due to radiation.They think that radiation is the main culprit and once u mention this name,every other cause of cancer fade into the bg.They seem to forget certain food causes cancer too.Funny but we see people eating it too,like BBQ and deep fried food.
Now,do you take airplane?The exposure to UV rays on the plan atop the high altitude is few hundred times higher than when you are on the surface of the earth.
Or simply put,the higher you climb or the higher you live on the HDB,the more exposed you are to UV radiation and boy UV rays have many times higher electron volt as compared to radiowaves.
Are you going to avoid the sun?For a start,maybe try living underground,the earth is thick enough to prevent penetration of the gamma rays since gamma rays can only be stop by thick concrete or lead.
Many things are more dangerous and require more attention like being careful when crossing the road,not drink driving,have better road sense etc etc.
Yet we don't see people being careful with those but here they are trying to freak out because of a radiation when stuff like what i mention can end one's life immediately.
I'm a material science student and have used UV-spec and Fourier transform irfrared before.These instrument utilised UV rays and IR to detect quality and quantities of certain compoud in a sample and these instrument is the size of a small mini hi fi and lies directly infront of me and we use it hands on.Is anyone freaking out?
