What is RF? RF Hazards Intro
Radiofrequency (RF) fields are oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Electric and magnetic fields interact with electrically charged particles by exerting forces upon them. If these forces cause charged or polarized particles (e.g. electrons, atoms, molecules, etc.) to move, heat energy is introduced. This heat energy in the material may or may not be detected as a temperature increase since RF absorption may be small, non-uniform or quickly dissipated. However, disturbances at an atomic level may induce changes in genetic code corrupting DNA that could unleash thousands of birth defects and medical disorders!
RF Health Concern Classifications
The effects resulting from RF exposure are usually described in one of three ways:
- Thermal effects from RF fields are defined as those effects resulting from a measurable temperature increase. That is, the effect(s) occurs in the exposed biological material (tissue, cell, etc.) as a result of the material being heated by the RF fields.
- Athermal effects are essentially those effects which occur when the RF field deposits sufficient heat energy into a material to cause an increase in temperature, but no temperature rise is observed.
- Nonthermal effects are those effects which occur in an exposed material when the RF energy deposited into the material results in a temperature increase less than the normal temperature fluctuation of the material.
- Note: For an effect to be considered truly “non-thermal”, that is, a “microwave effect“, they must be experimentally distinguishable from heating effects due to absorbed RF energy as measured with SAR Testing.
