Why does electromagnetic radiation cause cellular damage to humans?
Ilovetacos015
The most common exposure to electromagnetic radiation is from the use of cell phones. It is a minor almost minute exposure. Why it can damage the cell structure of humans is because it is toxic it is simply because it is radiation.

What exerts such a gravitational pull that no electromagnetic radiation can escape?
A black hole.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
What electromagnetic spectrum are safe for humans?
in electromagnetic spectrum visible light is safe for humans
Should electromagnetic radiation be avoided at all cost?
No mainly because it is impossible. The electromagnetic spectrum is everywhere visible light is a small part of it as are radio waves. It isn't a bad idea to avoid some of it X rays, ultraviolet light, microwaves etc. are potentially harmful hence the issue with cell phones high tension power cables etc.
Are humans cellular organisms?
Yes, humans are cellular organisms. Specifically, we are multi-cellular organisms, consisting of millions and millions of cells.
Why is alpha radiation so deadly to humans?
It is only deadly if ingested. The skin will stop alpha radiation. It does not have much penetrating power. When inside the body it can cause cellular damage which can lead to cancer.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation can honeybees seebut not humans?
Ultra Violet.
What exerts such a gravitational pull that no electromagnetic radiation can escape?
A black hole.
Why can humans not see radiation?
because they are present at the invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
What radiations can humans see?
We detect electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies that we call "visible light" with our eyes. We can feel a broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we call "heat". (There are some overlaps.) We can build tools that detect ANY frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and display that in any format we select.
What is electromagnetic radio frequency?
A radiowave is an example of electromagnetic radiation. What most humans call light - what is produced by the sun or a light bulb - is actually called visible light. Visible light is another form of electromagnetic radiation, but with higher energies. Scientists use the word light as a substitue for the whole generalization of every kind of electromagnetic radiation.
Warm objects give off?
Electromagnetic radiation, mostly in the form of infrared (which humans feels as heat).
What is infrared radiation-?

What form of radiation can humans see?
Humans can see visible light, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 400-700 nanometers. This range of wavelengths is detected by the photoreceptor cells in our eyes and processed by the brain to produce the sensation of sight.
What ultravio let light is harmful to humans?
It is a type of ionising electromagnetic radiation. Ionising radiation is radiation composed of particles that individually have sufficient energy (or can liberate sufficient energy) to remove an electron from an atom or molecule, i.e., in this situation humans. It damages the cells of your skin essentially by smashiing into it.
Do humans emit electromagnetic radiations?
Yes, Humans do emit electromagnetic radiations. Every object with a temperature emits infra-red EM radiation. According to De-Broglie's hypothesis, every material body has an electromagnetic wave associated with it. Correction: DeBroglie's Hypothesis has nothing whatsoever to do with EM waves.
Three ways in which humans damage their health?
doing drugs,radiation and not exercising is three main ways.
