Since the heating effect is in principle no different from other sources of heat, most research into possible health
hazards of exposure to radio waves has focused on "nonthermal" effects; whether radio waves have any effect on
tissues besides that caused by heating. Electromagnetic radiation has been classified by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) as "Possibly carcinogenic to humans".[10]
Radio waves can be shielded against by a conductive metal sheet or screen, an enclosure of sheet or screen is called a
Faraday cage. A metal screen shields against radio waves as well as a solid sheet as long as the holes in the screen are
smaller than the wavelength of the waves.
