In the electromagnetic wave, radio wave is classified as having the lowest frequency. But then, is it still dangerous to human body? If yes, then what is the effect from that? If no, what are the uses of it then?

Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. They can be really long (like a football field) or really short (like a football). They are able to bring music to your radio, and they also carry signals for your TV and phone. To answer your question if they're dangerous to the human body, radio waves are absorbed by materials such as human tissues, and this causes heating or warming; warming is the only scientifically proven health effect of radio waves on humans. Radio waves penetrate the human body and other materials corresponding with it which means that when radio waves hit the pool between air and human skin, part of the radiation is reflected and the other part penetrates through the pool, slowly damping because of energy absorption.

There's no scientific evidence confirming radio waves are harmful to humans.

No not necessarily, we currently can say that "No, radio waves are not harmful to humans" but technically we haven't seen the long term effects of radio waves.

In the short term we have no data that supports radio waves being harmful. However over the scope of hundreds of years, who knows maybe? After all radio waves are a form of energy.
