Original Note:
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, WiFi routers, and other smart home devices. They are safe and well below the limit set by the FCC. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/aug/04/instagram-posts/theres-no-evidence-radiation-emitted-apple-airpods/ https://emfacademy.com/airpods-radiation-safe/ https://www.healthline.com/health/do-airpods-cause-cancer https://ehtrust.org/airpods-facts-health-effects-of-wireless-radiation-to-the-brain/
