The time you've spent worrying about it today is probably much more of a risk to your health.

You're surrounded by radiation. Some of it is infrared. The vast, VAST majority of IR you're exposed to comes from the big ball of burning gas in the sky. Then there's light-bulbs, toasters, heat lamps, remote controls, etc etc etc.

To work so efficiently I think the emission should be high, or am I wrong?
On the contrary - if the emissions were high, there would be palpable heat.
