"Ionising radiation can change a cell’s DNA. If this happens, then that cell’s inbuilt instructions about how to live and grow are jumbled about. It is then possible for the cell to do something very different from what it's been programmed to do. For example, it may become cancerous and keep reproducing in an uncontrolled way. This could take years to happen but it still means that a cancer may eventually develop."

Non-ionising radiation
Non-ionising radiation has enough energy to move things around inside a cell but not enough to change cells chemically. The radiation from a microwave oven is non-ionising. Other examples include
* Ultraviolet rays from the sun or sunbeds
* Electromagnetic fields
* Radio waves
* Radiation waves given off from household electrical appliances, heaters, mobile phones with or without headsets and computers and their screens --

It's amazing when the discussion of cancer comes up, and how various types radiation cause it, how many people who claim to be in the know demonstrate that they have a COMPLETE and UTTER ignorance as to what is/is not IONIZING radiation. The article you quote clearly specifies "ionizing radiation", which the technology being discussed (prolly "radio wave" band) is not.
High velocity nuetrons = ionizing
uvc=ionizing (just slightly)
Gamma (high frequency=high enegry) = ionizing
Radiowaves ain't gonna be ionizing unless there is a HELL of a lot of wattage behind them. |
