What frequency is
harmful to humans?
In particular, high frequency
radiation has a ionizing
power, which means is able
to remove electrons for
atoms and eventually
damage biological structures
like DNA. X-rays and gamma
rays are very dangerous and
can cause terrible damage to
biological structures.

Electromagnetic radiation may

lead to the changes in
physiological indices, genetic
effects, and immune function
and affect the health and
immune function in operators.
The adverse effects are
increased as the working years
increase.

Low frequency can be harmful.

Human being are normally able to
detect sounds in the range of 20-
20,000 Hz and it is well known that
sounds within this range can damage
the hearing. However, sounds under
the frequency of 20 Hz can also affect
the ear even though we are unable to
hear them.
