Non ionizing so they mean it heats your pocket too much?

I am gonna leave this until someone has a better answer:

It means it doesn’t interact with tissue in a way that can cause cancer.

From the last time this was posted, radio frequency radiation, not nuclear radiation.

It's an important distinction.

RF strength violations have more to do with the signal range and possible interference with other signals than health impacts.

And the people this article is targeting isn’t the people that could bother to learn the difference.

Explaining ionization to someone who doesn’t grasp the concept that atoms are too small to see without special laboratories isn’t easy.

Yeah

rADiaTiOn!!1!

The sun packs ionizing electromagnetic waves it heats up our whole planet with, and that gives us cancer. But that wouldn’t make a good headline I guess.

Which is why "spurious emission" is the proper term to use.

The point where you can call it a "radiation hazard" when talking about RF is if it's at the point where RF Burns are a possibility which a phone is just not capable of.
