The telecom lasers I worked on in 1999-2001 emit pulses at a clean bitrate of 10Gbs.
We thought of 2.5GBps as low frequency.



that also depends how far you are from the antenna. it would be a terminally bad idea to stand in front of broadcast antennas for national or international frequencies.
our national frequency broadcasts at 600 Watts. Trust me, you'll feel that.
There is even a darwin award for some schmuck who fell asleep in his lawnchair in front of an antenna. Apparently he always installed himself in front of it because it was so pleasantly warm...

While your points are valid, they are, in my opinion, not relevant to the linked article based on context. For the majority of people living their everyday lives, the only radio waves will be from totally safe ranges. Saying that radio waves are dangerous in general just because they are dangerous at extreme intensity is like saying that sunlight will make you light on fire because, when focused through a lens, it can light things on fire.

And regarding frequencies, again I took the context of the article to refer to high frequencies as those that contain enough energy to do damage to people going through their everyday lives. As such, anything below visible light should not be regarded as high frequency.

True. I have to admit I didn't bother to read the article.
For people using the EM waves as user, EM is as harmless as ... as...

something harmless. Fluffy bunnies perhaps. Or chocolate pudding with whipped cream on top. Mmmmmmm...

You can always wear a tin foil hat. Make sure it's tin foil, as aluminum foil will not work.

I just spent a wonderful afternoon basking in EM. You do know that light is EMR don't you?

My wife. You gotta love her.
