People are exposed to radio waves 24 hours a day with little to no effect on our cells. Which situation would likely cause a higher risk to people?
exposure to twice the intensity of radio waves
exposure to radiation with much longer wavelengths
exposure to radiation with a much higher frequency
exposure to the same radiation for twice as long

The most risk comes from shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies). Gamma rays and x-rays are extremely short wavelengths and those can pose a risk because they are in the ionizing radiation region; however, these are not considered radio waves, at least I don't consider them to be RF (radio frequency) in nature.
