Apple AirPods emit a form of radiation called Radio Frequency Radiation (RF) when they transmit data. This is the same type emitted by devices like cell phones, Wi-Fi routers & other smart home devices. They are safe & well below the limit set by the FCC. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/no-established-evidence-that-apple-airpods-harm-your-health-idUSL2N2OD0WO/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/aug/04/instagram-posts/theres-no-evidence-radiation-emitted-apple-airpods/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/08/10/fact-check-context-missing-claim-health-effects-airpods/9661778002/ https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.34KB2DJ https://emfacademy.com/airpods-radiation-safe/ https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/radiation-exposure/cellular-phone-towers.html https://fullfact.org/health/emf-bluetooth-health-effects/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1838111111222071396
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
