Radiofrequency
(RF) and microwave (MW) radiation are electromagnetic radiation in the frequency
ranges 3 kilohertz (kHz) - 300 Megahertz (MHz), and 300 MHz - 300 gigahertz
(GHz), respectively. Research
continues on possible biological effects of exposure to RF/MW radiation from radios, cellular phones,
the processing
and cooking of foods, heat sealers, vinyl welders, high frequency welders, induction
heaters, flow solder machines, communications transmitters, radar transmitters, ion
implant equipment, microwave drying equipment, sputtering equipment and glue
curing.
The following questions link to information relevant to radiofrequency (RF) and
