Mobile phones and other wireless devices and systems rely on RF or microwave radiation to function. They use RF or microwave radiation to send and receive text and voice messages, along with many other kinds of data. In addition to RF and microwaves, millimeter and terahertz waves are increasingly enlisted to support the rally toward ubiquitous, round-theclock wireless connectivity. For the first time in its history, a ubiquitous source of RF radiation is being placed directly next to the heads (and bodies) of a large portion of the human race; in fact, the percentage of all people being exposed to RF electromagnetic radiation is rapidly approaching the percentage exposed to polluted air. the author discusses research and warnings about the health risks of human exposure to RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation
