Apple’s Bluetooth wireless earbuds or AirPods have been under fire for their potential health risks since their release. The AirPods transmit low-intensity radio waves into an individual’s ears. Public health experts suggest long periods of usage can result in these emissions wearing down the blood-brain barrier that is necessary to keep out chemical toxins. But Dr Ken Karipidis, the Assistant Director of the Assessment and Advice of the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) rejects these allegations.
