Most devices used in the home, office etc, emit electromagnetic radiation of varying sizes, or wavelengths.
Standard light bulbs, light switches, electric razors, toasters, refrigerators etc, are all shooting off EM at a wavelength of 60 hz.
A 60 hz wave, if you could see it, is huge. It's bigger than a skyscraper. This wave is so large (and so weak) that it passes right over you without anything to capture its energy because you (and all of your parts) are too small to even feel it.
Your cellphone, WiFi router etc, all emit Electromagnetic radiation in the 2.5 GHz area. This wavelenth is smaller, but again if you could see the "Wave" of energy, would be about the size of your hand. It passes right past you (and right through you) without making a ripple anywhere. The size of the attena on your router (and on your old cellphone) is the actual length of the wave.
Microwaves are absorbed by molecules that have a dipole moment in liquids. In a microwave oven, this effect is used to heat food. Low-intensity microwave radiation is used in Wi-Fi, although this is at intensity levels unable to cause thermal heating.
Ultraviolet light is another story. It's wavelength is around 10^-8 (10 to the negative 8th power) meters. It is so small some of your Molecules can be affected. UV Radiation is what gives you a suntan, and what kills germs when blacklights are used in places like a butcher shop.
X-Ray radiation is 10^-10 (10 to the minus 10th power) meters. They are so tiny that they pass right through most of your body without hitting most of your atoms in your body unless they are packed closely together. This is why Bones, tumors, muscle etc appear on Xrays but makes the rest of your body virtually transperent.
Gamma Rays are 10^-12th power. Gamma Rays can shake the nuclei of your atoms apart, and damage the building blocks of new cells, creating cancer, and of course, turn you into the Hulk.
Microwave ovens are DESIGNED to cook food by vibrating water and other polarized moecules within food. They have high-voltage transformers and a vaity magnetron to convert very high voltage into Microwave radiation. All of this is sealed in what is essentially a Faraday cage which stops the radiation from leaking into the environment.
Your cellphone, Wifi router, and ALL of the other electromagnetic radiation in your house does not even come close to producing the same amount of energy that your microwave oven does.
I think sensitivity to electronic devices and standard household and enviromental EMF Radition is bullshit.
