The antennas contained in mobile phones, including smartphones, emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation (non-ionizing "radio waves" such as microwaves); the parts of the head or body nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy and convert it to heat or to synchronised molecular vibrations (the term 'heat', properly applies only to disordered molecular motion).
EMF stands for electric and magnetic fields, which, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health and Sciences, are invisible areas of energy often referred to as radiation.
The FCC limits for maximum permissible workplace exposure to shortwave radio frequency energy in the range of 3–30 MHz has a plane-wave equivalent power density of (900/ f 2) mW/cm 2 where f is the frequency in MHz, and 100 mW/cm 2 from 0.3 to 3.0 MHz.
The BioInitiative Report states that it is an examination of the controversial health risks of electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation. [1] Some updated BioInitiative material was published in a journal in an issue guest-edited by one of the members of the group, [2] and a 2012 version of the report was released on 7 January 2013.

Extremely high frequency (EHF) is the International Telecommunication Union designation for the band of radio frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum from 30 to 300 gigahertz (GHz). [1] [2] It is in the microwave part of the radio spectrum, between the super high frequency band and the terahertz band.
The radiation emitted covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum and the intensity (power/unit-area) at a given frequency is dictated by Planck's law of radiation. A black body at temperatures at or below room temperature would thus appear absolutely black as it would not reflect any light.
A former chemical plant dumped thousands of tons of industrial waste around the San Francisco Bay Area. The deposits were made in places that are now open to the public — and could contain ...
