Unlike ionizing radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays, which can remove tightly bound electrons from atoms and cause molecular damage, radiowaves are non-ionizing. This means they do not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules and, therefore, are generally considered less harmful. However, the long-term effects of chronic exposure to low levels of radiowaves are still a topic of ongoing research. The World Health Organization and other health agencies continue to monitor studies to ascertain any potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure.
