    The eyes.

    If I talk on a cell phone too long, or sit too close to a wireless router, my eyes begin to feel dry and itchy and sore.

    The only established effect of RFR exposure is thermal heating of the body. As such, excessive heating could cause localized damage to tissues or heat stress.

    Symptoms would typically be a warming sensation of the skin and/or reddening of the skin. However, the sensation of warmth alone is not an indication of an RFR overexposure.

    Ocular examination is required if the exposure is greater than 5 times the PEL.

    It takes a lot, and it's absorbed in the outer layers of the body. I read somewhere that the eye lens is particularly vulnerable to (very intense) radar beams on naval ships. The heating causes cataracts.

    None of them. The body cannot absorb radio frequency radiation.
