Radio spectrum pollution

Deviation of radio waves beyond allocations

Radio spectrum pollution is the straying of electromagnetic waves in the radio spectrum (3 kHz to 300 GHz) outside their allocations that cause unintended effects on communication or health. It has three main categories, natural noise, leakage from devices not intended for radio transmissions, such as some light fixtures, and interference from radio transmissions. It is of particular concern in radio astronomy, aviation, and other fields, as well as for potential environmental effects.
