Does electromagnetic radiation from electric power lines computer monitors cell phones and microwave ovens affect living things?
The radiation from monitors can certainly affect living organisms; the light can damage the human eye after very short periods. Cell phones and electric power lines have such weak fields that they could not possibly harm a living being. Microwave ovens use shielding and failsafe systems to prevent any radiation affecting anything outside themselves.
