Don’t Cook Yourself with RF Energy

I sometimes feel the same way walking around in SF. There are just way too many buildings and fixtures that are actually antennas that are concealed to not look that way.

I measured 20mW/m2 around 2nd and Harrison.

For reference, on a sunny day the sun will dump 200+ W/m² on you in SF.

Q1: How much ambient RF spectrum intensity has there been during evolution vs. sunlight exposure?

Q2: How much has ambient RF spectrum intensity risen today vs. natural background levels?

A1: Virtually none.

A2: 10^18

this, it is not just about the intensity, it is that all organism have evolved to around sun exposure, not much around artificial light/Emf exposure...

Just curious, how did you measure that? Are you constantly scanning?

I had bought Extech RF meter for $600. It seems to be the most reliable and accurate.
