How much radiation is really being emitted into the atmosphere?

Phones, TV's, microwaves... what next? It's all being emitted into the atmosphere but how much radiation can we really take when there're new emerging technologies being invented all the time. When's enough really going to be enough?How much radiation is really being emitted into the atmosphere?
You are correct, that there are more and more things using the newer technologies.

We also need to think about the fact that there are many types of radiation. visible light and heat are radiation.

Good working microwaves should not leak any radiation. RADAR is the same radiation and is used .microwaves are also used to send tv and radio communication between towers.

The infrared used in a tv remote does not effect us.

There is greater radiation as w fly cross country. Pilots are only allowed so many cross country flights per month because of this radiation from outer space.

We do need to reduce the number of xrays we get.

Avoid ultraviolet (black light)

Keep LASER pointer beams from yes.Use ear piece instead of holding cell phone to the ear.

Use sun block, often

Sit away from tv's

Use an ear piece instead of holding the cell phone to the ear

There is natural radiation from radioactive materials being released all the time. [example is uranium which is in most rocks turning into radon. We do not want radon in our basement]

But, radiation being released into the air does not continue on and on and effect us that much.How much radiation is really being emitted into the atmosphere?
The key thing to consider is not the amount of radiation you receive but the amount of radiation that actually interacts with your body...

Every second about 6,000 trillion neutrinos pass through your body and, yet, there is really no health problem associated with that radiation source. The reason is that neutrinos interact very weakly with any kind of matter...
