One of the problems with language is that the same term can have 
multiple meanings.  It is unfortunate that radiation refers to nuclear 
as well as electromagnetic.  Thus many people confuse the use and are 
afraid of radio emissions.

Why are they afraid of cell phone towers when they stick a blue tooth 
thing in their ear (blue tooth is RF), when most everyone now days 
carries a cell phone, most homes have cordless phones, many homes have 
WiFi, garage door openers, the list goes on. 

Such is the very poor state of science education.
