Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation
 

High RF exposures are particularly dangerous because: RF radiation is hard to recognize – it is invisible, odorless and tasteless. By the time workers feel symptoms (e.g., overheating, reddening of the skin) they are already overexposed. Levels can be low at the start of work and spike without warning.  DMAS is requiring us to be exposed to it to get services in our homes.
