This is one of many fallacious arguments often used by those who ignore the biological effects of artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs) — and those who don't want the public to find out about them.

They claim that artificial EMFs are harmless because they are not strong enough to cause DNA breaks like ionizing radiation that can strip or donate electrons from atoms, such as radon, X-rays or gamma rays. Even the World Health Organization states that the only proven health effects of human-made non-ionizing radiation are heating from acute exposure to high levels of radiofrequency (RF) or nerve and muscle stimulation and the excitability of cells of the central nervous system by household EMF (50/60 Hz, also called extremely low frequency radiation — ELF).

However, thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that chronic and/or acute exposure to ELF EMF from power lines and RF from wireless communications can be harmful because this artificial radiation has two unique and harmful properties not present in in nature, explained Greek biophysicist Dimitris J. Panagopoulos PhD during a European Parliament workshop on electrohypersensitivity, held in Brussels on April 13. They are polarized and coherent, he explained, and can therefore "produce constructive interference and amplify their intensity at certain locations, and also force any charged particles (e.g. mobile ions) in living cells/tissues to oscillate in parallel and in phase with them. Polarization and coherence explain why EMFs of ~0,1 mW/cm2 emitted by a cell phone are harmful, while solar EMFs of ~10 mW/cm2 (100 times stronger) are vital. »
