They're not dangerous, on earth, because less amount of infra-red gets to us but sometimes it can give us tans, because sun radiation is infra-red and you can get sun burn, so you can say that it doesn't have much danger on human beings on earth, for in space you have to wear space suits and you have to have space shuttle to be safe on space, because space has far more dangerous infra-red radiation. so I would say that infra-red doesn't have much harm of humans beings on earth, but it is very harmful in space.

Are infrared waves dangerous?

Infrared waves are generally not dangerous as they are non-ionizing radiation. However, prolonged exposure to very high levels of infrared radiation can cause heating of tissues and potentially lead to burns. It is important to avoid direct exposure to intense sources of infrared radiation.


Are infared waves dangerous?

Infrared waves are generally not dangerous to humans at low levels. However, exposure to high levels of infrared radiation, such as from sources like intense heat or lasers, can cause skin burns and eye damage. It's important to limit exposure to high levels of infrared radiation to avoid any potential harm.

Infra-red by itself is not dangerous at all. It is around us everyday. But I am sure that you are actually curious about infra-red LASERS. If shined into the eyes, IR Lasers can burn and permanently damage the retinas.


Is far infrared and thermal infrared same?

Far infrared and thermal infrared are both forms of infrared radiation, but they refer to different parts of the infrared spectrum. Far infrared typically refers to the longer wavelength infrared radiation closer to the microwave region, while thermal infrared refers to the mid- to long-wavelength infrared radiation emitted by objects due to their temperature.


What are some of the dangers of infrared radiation?

It is very unlikely for infrared radiation to have a dangerous effect on people. Normally, it will just make a person feel warmer. High levels can lead to burns and very rarely, cataracts in the eyes.
