I'm looking into #mmwave presence sensors but I'm wondering about the (possible) health effects. Is anybody aware of any? I know we are exposed to radiation everyday (wifi, electronics, tv, radio, cellphone, etc.) but I'm wondering what a presence sensor could mean or if it's all neglible.
I would like credible sources, doesn't need to be an academic study but someone/something with knowledge on the subject.
