There
are 50,000 trillion
cells in the body, and even in older people the body is still actively
creating another billion new cells every hour, so the
incorruptibility
of DNA is all-
important in our health and survival.
The word radiation is often thought of as referring to the
emanations from radioactive material and x-rays. However when scientists use the
word radiation they are usually referring to electromagnetic radiation (EMR)
which can be emitted from such sources as radio cell phones, TV transmissions,
light from the sun as well as x-ray machines. Electromagnetic radiation has
electric and magnetic field components and passes through space at the speed of
light - about 300,000,000 metres per second (186,000 miles per second).
Microwave (MW) and radio frequency (RF) radiation is
electromagnetic radiation that is lower in frequency and therefore longer in
wavelength than infrared radiation. "Radiofrequency" is the name given to that
section of the electromagnetic spectrum from frequencies of 300 kHz to 300 GHz.
In general the section of the electromagnetic spectrum from frequencies of
approximately 300 MHz to 300 GHz and wavelengths of approximately 1 meter (m) to
1 millimeter (mm) are called microwaves. Although some consider microwaves not
to include lower frequencies and to start at 800 MHz with a wavelength of 37.5
centimeters (cm).
The primary health concern of microwave radiation is
adverse effects associated with whole or partial body
thermal
exposure. A clear example of a thermal exposure situation is the
heating of animal tissue (e.g. hamburger) in a microwave oven. The microwave
electromagnetic radiation "cooks" the animal tissue. Avoiding damaging thermal
exposure levels is accomplished by keeping one's exposure below recommended
maximum specific absorption rates (SAR's).
However
since SAR is difficult to determine, safety standards have also adopted
maximum allowable power density exposure limits measured in units of watts per
square meter (W/m2).
New studies suggest hazards exists at
Non-thermal levels of rf exposure. This should be a great concern for cell
phone users who want to maximize their safety.
