How Risky Is Radiation From Electrical Appliances?

default
Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2016
Question: 1) I have recently moved from my parents house to an apartment. What worries me is that the a/c compressor is just outside my window which in essence is right behind my bed. So my head is just a couple of inches form the compressor. Only a thin wall separates us. Does this poses a health problem?
2) How about sleeping behind the fridge (i.e separated by a wall from the rear of the fridge. Does this poses a health problem?

Thank you in advance,
XXXX
