Sensitive people are at risk

In particular, high frequency electromagnetic radiation is regarded as a danger to health.

The human body transforms high frequency electromagnetic radiation into heat, which is spread by the circulation of the blood and is given off again from the surface of the body. So the body produces extra heat and if the level of heat in the body becomes too high it has an effect on its health. The more extra heat the body produces, the higher is the burden it has to carry. People with circulation problems, older people and babies react more sensitively than others because they warm up more quickly. With the introduction of safe limits, it is possible to see just how high the physical burden, the development of heat in the body’s tissues, actually is. Critics have pointed out that only the thermic effect is being considererd. So far, the athermic effects have been ignored, in other words the biological effects which a number of scientists assume to be ocurring at even low radiation intensity.
