Many parts of the EM spectrum are harmful. Ultraviolet can cause skin cancer, microwaves can cause heating of body mass, X-rays and gamma rays cause ionisation of body mass and too much exposure will cause cancer or acute damage to the blood cells which will cause rapid death.

If you have had hospital X-ray treatment you will have seen that the radiographers go behind a screen during exposure, because they are doing it all day and woulg get too much exposure otherwise
