Been around hi RF power transmitters all my working life, radar, aviation markers, TACAN, DME, airport ILS, name it.
Me and my wife (it helps 😉) we had 3 healthy boys, now 34, 32 and 27, all in technical fields, if you can count quantic mechanic a technical field 😉. Also I soldered with nasty fume lead solder since I’m 13, indeed it depends on distance.
I worked for long hours (multiples days) near high power transmitters Magnetron and Klystron, I’m glad my family is all healthy and these days are gone…
If you ask my wife for the last 40 years (she a very patient and understanding one), she could tell you it explained a lot LOL…

Some people can live in a sea of RF their entire lives and suffer no ill effects. Some will probably develop cancer from the 455 kHz local oscillator in the transistor radio sitting on the desk next to them. And some will just be looking for someone/something to blame. Until we figure out which DNA sequences get screwed up and how, no one will ever know anything definitive.
Lead solder isn’t any different, as some people simply absorb Pb more than others. Although likely that a larger percentage of the general population is susceptible compared with RF pollution.
