This is from the cancer society:

How are people exposed to RF radiation?

People can be exposed to RF radiation from both natural and human-made sources.

Natural sources include:

Outer space and the sun

The sky – including lightning strikes

The earth itself – most radiation from the earth is infrared, but a tiny fraction is RF

Human-made RF radiation sources include:

Broadcasting radio and television signals

Transmitting signals from cordless telephones, cell phones and cell phone towers, satellite phones, and 2-way radios

Radar

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® devices, and smart meters

Some medical procedures, such as radiofrequency ablation (using heat to destroy tumors)

“Welding” pieces of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) using certain machines

Millimeter wave scanners (a type of full body scanner used for security screening)

Some people can have significant RF exposure as part of their jobs. This includes people who maintain antenna towers that broadcast communication signals and people who use or maintain radar equipment. Other people who may have higher levels of RF exposure include some healthcare workers (particularly those working near MRI scanners) and people who work with devices that use RF radiation, such as plastic sealers, certain types of welding equipment, and induction heaters.

Most people are exposed to lower levels of RF radiation every day, from RF signals all around us. They come from radio and TV broadcasts, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, cell phones (and cell phone towers), and other sources.

That's all new to the human race.. We still don't know how bad it effects us yet. That's why grounding camping the beach is so good for people. The electric charges are everywhere. Get outside and barefoot
