Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation Awareness Guide

Office of Environment, Health & Safety

Radiofrequency (RF) radiation, a type of nonionizing radiation, is the energy used to transmit wireless information. At low levels it is not considered a hazard.

As demand for cellular and wireless services grows, more of these antennas are being placed on rooftops and sides of buildings.
