RFsäteilning

RFsäteilning, short for radio frequency radiation, refers to electromagnetic radiation within the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This type of radiation has wavelengths ranging from about one millimeter to 100 kilometers and corresponding frequencies from 300 GHz down to 3 kHz. RFsäteilning is widely used in various technologies, including radio and television broadcasting, mobile communications, radar systems, wireless networking (Wi-Fi), and microwave ovens.

The interaction of RFsäteilning with matter depends on its frequency, intensity, and the properties of the material it encounters. At higher frequencies and intensities, RFsäteilning can cause heating of biological tissues through a process known as dielectric heating. This is the principle behind microwave ovens. At lower intensities, such as those typically emitted by mobile phones or Wi-Fi devices, the primary concern is potential long-term health effects.

Extensive research has been conducted by international organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and national health agencies to assess the potential health risks associated with RFsäteilning. Current scientific consensus, based on numerous studies, is that there is no established evidence of adverse health effects from exposure to RFsäteilning at levels below established international safety guidelines. These guidelines are set to protect against known thermal effects. Ongoing research continues to monitor for any potential non-thermal effects.
