Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
The energy of gamma radiation is much higher than the energy of infrared radiation. You are emitting infrared radiation, but gamma radiation is very harmful to living tissue.
How harmful are infrared rays?
It all depends on their strength, can be entirely harmless but can also burn. IT's like saying how harmful is heat.
Can infrared rays harm humans?
Infrared wavelengths fall just below visible red light in the spectrum. Short wave infrared, the frequencies closest to visible red, have no known effect, although some are suspected in the area of vision and effects on the thymus, a gland just behind the forehead. Long-wave infrared is known as heat. Most of us know the effects from having stood out in the sun. Too much heat, and you're toast. That pretty much covers it.
How are infrared waves harmful and helpful?
well they eat your children and kill your hamster thank you come again :D !
Do microwaves use infrared technology?
Microwaves are close to infrared so much of the technology is similar.

Are infrared rays dangerous?
Long term exposure can be dangerous.
Is there an infrared radiation exposure statement out there by some organization?
Infrared radiation is generally known as "heat", so the statement "Don't touch the stove!" would qualify as a "radiation exposure statement".
Sunburn is caused by excessive exposure to harmful?
Harmful UV rays.
What are the harmful derived from exposure to radiation?
Nausea
How would you use exposure in a sentence?
"Prolonged exposure to the sin's UV rays can be harmful.
Why should you avoid too much exposure to the sun?
to avoid skin burn and tanning from the harmful u-v rays
What is chronical?
long term exposure to a harmful substance
What size wavelengths do harmful types of electromagnetic waves have?
very small wavelengths (near-infrared, far-infrared, sub-millimeter, microwaves)
