According to the U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission]]: "Measurement data obtained from various sources have consistently indicated that 'worst-case' ground-level power densities near typical cellular towers are on the order of 1&nbsp;μW/cm<sup>2</sup> (or 10 mW/m<sup>2</sup>) or less (usually significantly less)."<ref>{{cite book | url = http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet56/oet56e4.pdf | title = Questions and Answers about Biological Effects and Potential Hazards of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields | edition = 4th | date = August 1999 | page = 21 | series = OET Bulletin 56 | access-date = 14 September 2022 | archive-date = 20 October 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111020131849/http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet56/oet56e4.pdf | url-status = live }}</ref>

Cell phones, cell towers, wi-fi, smart meters, digital enhanced cordless telecommunications phones, cordless phones, baby monitors, and other wireless devices all emit non-ionizing radio frequencies, which the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) has classified as a "potential" [[carcinogen]],<ref name="Hardell">{{cite journal | last1=Hardell |first1=Lennart |title=World Health Organization, Radiofrequency Radiation and Health—A Hard Nut to Crack (Review) |journal=International Journal of Oncology |date=21 June 2017 |volume=51 |issue=August 2017 |pages=405–13 |doi=10.3892/ijo.2017.4046 |pmid=28656257 |pmc=5504984 }}.</ref> According to the U.S. [[National Cancer Institute]], "No mechanism by which ELF-EMFs or radiofrequency radiation could cause  cancer has been identified."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/electromagnetic-fields-fact-sheet|title=Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer|date=7 January 2019|website=National Cancer Institute|access-date=26 February 2019|archive-date=5 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200305192138/https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/electromagnetic-fields-fact-sheet|url-status=live}}</ref>

According to the U.S. [[Food and Drug Administration]], "Scientific consensus shows that non-ionizing radiation is not a carcinogen and, at or below the radio frequency exposure limits set by the FCC, non-ionizing radiation has not been shown to cause any harm to people."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/cell-phones/radio-frequency-radiation-and-cell-phones | title=Radio Frequency Radiation and Cell Phones | website=U.S. Food and Drug Administration | date=30 May 2022 | access-date=14 September 2022 | archive-date=30 September 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220930124337/https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/cell-phones/radio-frequency-radiation-and-cell-phones | url-status=dead }}</ref>
