Do macbook pros cause radiation?

My macbook pro heats up very badly when I listen to music and play games at the same time. It started making this weird scratchy noise or chipping noise so I restarted it and then it went back to normal. I have always been a hypochodriac though. I always have the charger on while using the macbook pro. I am worried my macbook pro is giving off a lot of electromagnetic radiation? I am 14 years old. Can this laptop cause future health problems?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

It does emit a good bit of 2.4 and 5Ghz EMR yes on wifi.

however is in the 100s of milliwatts range.

Youre getting more radiation by a factor of 100X from your local cellphone tower blasting out 100s of watts of broad spectrum EMR

Human body is emitting EMR too 😊

Can this laptop cause future health problems?

Even pure water can create health problems. Existential life is a dangerzone without a single exception.

Do not worry. Power supplies get a little hot while charging and also while providing power (even on charger the battery generally supplies at least a few mAh to the operating pool).

This is not radiation in the dangerous range. If it did, several people with 200k points who have been using them for years would be dead.
