Is it harmful to our body that we do the RF IC design?

Many person said that doing RF circuit design is harmful to our body.so is doing RF IC or MM IC design really harmful to our body?

So, you mentioned that is harmful for the body when is doing ?RF circuit design?.
During simulation or testing??just kidding :D
Dangerous working with RF it happened if have to handle very high RF powers or even medium powers if this is doing for long time.
Handling with very low RF powers probably is insignificant compare to the amount of external radiations that human body receives every second.

Speaking generally, our life is harmful - nobody survived yet, except more than 6 billions hoping.
But they wont do it better.)

This doc has plenty other docs references, of course it is just first result of googling .

It studies impact of RF diathermy (12 27 MHz 400 W near field) .

"The physical therapists are exposed to RF radiation by operating RF devices. Some of former studies
suggest that use of RF diathermy is associated with elevated risk of congenital defects, perinatal death,
spontaneous abortion, and heart disease among physical therapists, but were unable to show that RF radiation is a possible etiologic factor (2, 3, 4)."

Being a man i significantly reduced risk of abortion, but still defended by the rest .)

Though it was relative low freq but high power.
And of course, inet full of such docs objecting each other.

The general rule - stay away as far as you can, setup a good shield protection and dont believe to what your chief is talking about.

Some others suggest to measure sexual potential at regular interval.)

I guess it depends on how many gallons of coffee per new design you consume, and your boss' AHole rating.

Sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day is definitely bad for your health. As long as you know which end of a soldering iron to pick up, you'll be fine....

Thanks,every one.I thought all the jobs about RF was bad for our health.Maybe in the near future,I will be a RF IC design engineer.
