How do radio waves impact the environment?

Similar to a blow dryer that heats the air and then blows it out towards an object. The atmosphere is heated and then carried down towards the Earth surface. Of course the heating is not extreme. The effects are from a constant flow of microwaves through the atmosphere creates a mild heating. read more

With no radio waves there would be no living things to worry about the environment. Microwave radio waves can be absorbed, adding energy to molecular motions, often called heat. Longer wave length radio waves have little, if any, effect on the environment. read more

Some very low frequency radio waves are strongly bent by the magnetized plasma surrounding Earth.” Radio frequencies are influenced by the Earths magnetic fields and the atmospheric plasma. Ionospheric delay, also called “dispersion“, affects the ability for microwave frequencies to penetrate the Earths surface. read more

While radio waves traveling in free space have little outside influence affecting them, radio waves traveling within the Earth's atmosphere are affected by varying conditions. The influence exerted on radio waves by the Earth's atmosphere adds many new factors to complicate what at first seems to be a relatively simple problem. read more

In addition, in June 2000 WHO announced their research results as follows: There is no indication that radio waves emissions from cellular phones or their base stations will cause or promote cancer, there are also no other effects on the human body which adversely affect health. read more
