Wearable technology uses low-powered radiofrequency (RF) and emits a type of non-ionizing radiation
- Facts About Cell Phones and Your Health
Yes – cell phones and cordless phones use radiofrequency (RF) radiation to send signals RF radiation is different from other types of radiation (like x-rays) that we know can be harmful We don’t know for sure if RF radiation from cell phones can cause health problems years later The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF radiation as a “possible human

- Facts About Radiation from Air Travel
Radiation from air travel comes from cosmic radiation, or radiation from space Cosmic radiation is produced by the stars, including our own sun You would be exposed to about 0 035 mSv (3 5 mrem) of cosmic radiation if you were to fly within the United States from the east coast to the west coast
- Ultraviolet Radiation | Radiation and Your Health | CDC
UV radiation Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds While it has some benefits for people, including the creation of Vitamin D, it also can cause health risks Our natural source of UV radiation: The sun Some artificial sources of UV radiation include: Tanning beds Mercury vapor lighting (often
