Hi,

I hope all of you are doing great. I have a friend who is an engineer. He advised me not to wear bluetooth headset for longer intervals as it might be dangerous for me. He was saying that EM waves are bad for humans and everything wireless is based on EM (electromagnetic). Now if it really is bad, then I think I am living on the edge. I have a very small room, you can hardly fit 3 beds in it. And I have a bluetooth in my PC, Wi-Fi and a wireless keyboard etc. (which I guess almost everyone of you must be having). I just wanted to know if its true that these waves are bad for health in any way. I also heard somebody saying that keeping the phone on the left-front pocket (right in front of your heart),too, is not good.

Please give your views about this. Thank you.

Bluetooth uses the radio part of the electromagnetic specturm which is denominated as non-ionizing radiation. This means the em "waves" do not have enough energy to cause chemical changes in matter, they simply pass thru or bounce.
