 If, per the link, “exposure to low-intensity ELF-EMF/Static Fields and RFR at levels allowable under current federal public safety limits pose health risks”, then why doesn’t the ridiculously high exposure to that same radiation during high summer, solar storms, etc produce magnified effects? Why don’t we have centuries of evidence of continuous neurological decline and genetic decay? 

Where are the mutants? 
 The mobile phones band in the UHF and SHF are totally silent because nature doesn't produce RF in that part of the spectrum. We are accustomized to the regular RF background but not to frequencies that were never present. Plus there is experimental evidence of resonance of subcellular structures at many frequencies. As the water molecule resonate at the same exact wavelength of your microwave oven so other molecules resonate at different frequencies making some chemical reaction faster,.some slower, some impossible.  
 Fine - let’s talk man-made non-ionizing emissions within the chromosphere. 

It all comes back to the amount of radiation in a given area relative to a mass. Even the “bioinitiative” group follows this. What’s being debated, then, is the amount of energy being radiated. 

Non-ionizing radiation cannot alter the chemical bonds in, well, anything outside of heating them up (the vibration you mentioned). 

The original post was surrounding Bluetooth headphones, so then let’s limit this to the 2.4ghz band of the UHF range. 

BT headphones give off, at most, 100mw of radiation, having a typical range of .01mw - 100mw (-20db to 20db). Typically WiFi APs start around 100mw and some can go as higher than 1000mw. Then there are typically multiple radios per AP. This is not speak of the dozens of radios surrounding in various devices surrounding most people for the last 20 years. 

Add up the amount of radiation anyone around any kind of data stream is receiving and its multiples of what any BT buds are giving off. Most of the time, BT buds are operating in the 1-10mw range. Now, I grant that the “bioinitiative” group calls this a “severe hazard”… but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. 

I can hear the “proximity” argument already. That requires you to also then factor in body mass and absorption rate.  Soecific absorbtion is measured in 1000’s of mw per kg. Magnitudes higher than what we are talking about. 

And again, let’s not forget the basic principle - absorbtion in the form of heat. As in burns. There is no other absorption for non-ionizing radiation, which is everything longer than ultraviolet. 

Do you feel a constant burning on your skin when you wear ear buds? How about your phone on your head? What about 10 phones? While standing near a WiFi AP, near a cell tower running at 2.1ghz?

Sorry. This makes no fucking sense. Even from a first principles perspective, it doesn’t add up. 
 It's simple the effect is not heating only. The interaction is resonance based.

This is just one example of tuned effect. They are either incompetent or lying. The power is not the key factor here. 
 We are in the process of studying the effect of different emf modulated and not on cellular cultures of different nature. Check this in the meanwhile https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/18/10041 
 We are only concerned with manmade RFR--that is why the military is able to weaponize it.   
 The primary method of weaponization is directed microwaves. IE, burning people. That’s measured in 100s of 1,000,000mw. That’s 5+ orders of magnitude higher than what you’re talking about. 

Water is good for you. But 5 orders of magnitude more than “normal” all at once will kill you. 
 Sorry but this is not true. As is well recognized that tuned vibration can disrupt specific body parts so different wavelength can tune and disrupt specific chemical reactions carrying energy in specific molecules and not other 
 Yes, temporarily. Largely with no damage. This is one of the weapons. The intent is crowd control. 
 How do you know there is no damage? The amount of people sick especially with cancer is rising. What is causing that?
