Radio Waves 10^4 - 10^12
Large doses of radio waves are claimed to cause cancer, leukemia and other disorders. Others claim low frequency fields from power cables overhead have affected their health, although this is not proven.
Radio waves effect my life because they are used in blue tooth, and I use blue tooth almost everyday to connect to speakers, sometimes headsets. They also control garage door openers and I use that to get into my house after I get off the bus because my parents are not home.
Microwaves 10^8 - 10^12
Microwaves can interfere with airplane systems (that's why they tell you to turn your phone off or on airplane mode) and also heart monitors.
Microwaves effect my life because I use microwave ovens to heat up food. They also help with phone signals. These are things I use everyday.

These waves are a part of my life because I always blow dry my hair so that its not a mess in the morning.

These waves are a part of my life because if I get braces these waves will seal them and I also get vitamin C & D from them.
