Specifically\, questions have been raise d on the safety of exposure to RF energy emitted from radar\, television a nd radio communication systems\, microwave ovens\, video display terminals \, and most recently\, mobile telephones and base stations\, Wi-Fi\, and L TE. Wearable RF gadgets are prevailing. Wireless power transmission is a n ewer subject\, which can involve high intensity exposures.\n\nThe IEEE EMF database now has more than 6700 original\, peer-reviewed papers useful fo r public health risk assessment of RF exposure. Even there has been 70 yea rs of research\, and WHO indicated that scientific knowledge in this area is now more extensive than for most chemicals and current evidence does no t confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low le vel electromagnetic fields\, controversy on RF safety continues.
