CANCER A-Z WHAT CAUSES CANCER? SUN AND OTHER TYPES OF RADIATION
Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation
Radiation is the emission (sending out) of energy from any source. X-rays are an example of radiation, but so is the light that comes from the sun and the heat that is constantly coming off our bodies.
When talking about radiation and cancer, many people think of specific kinds of radiation such as x-rays or the radiation made by nuclear reactors. But there are other types of radiation that act differently.
Radiation exists across a spectrum from very low-energy (low-frequency) radiation to very high-energy (high-frequency) radiation. This is sometimes referred to as the electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum illustration below shows all of the possible frequencies of electromagnetic energy. It ranges from extremely low frequencies (such as those from power lines) to extremely high frequencies (x-rays and gamma rays), and includes both non-ionizing and ionizing radiation.
Examples of high-energy radiation include x-rays and gamma rays. These rays, as well as some higher energy UV radiation, are forms of ionizing radiation, which means they have enough energy to remove an electron from (ionize) an atom. This can damage the DNA (genes) inside of cells, which can sometimes result in cancer.
