The relationship between radio waves and cancer has been a topic of extensive research. Radio waves are classified as non-ionizing radiation, meaning they do not carry enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. This characteristic differentiates them from ionizing radiation (like X-rays and gamma rays), which has been proven to increase the risk of cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the evidence to date does not confirm that exposure to low-level electromagnetic fields, including radio waves, is harmful to human health. However, long-term and high-level exposures are still under investigation.
