I lived there in the 1990's and it was pretty awful, but when I last visited in 2001 it seemed better.
Of course, in CA you can contact the electric company (PG & E) and have them replace the "smartmeter" on the side of your house with one of the older ones that don't emit radiation. You may have to pay a fee.
In the middle of San Fran is a giant radio tower (Sutro Tower) you want to avoid. The BART (underground trains) are electric and troublesome. I didn't have a problem with the other one (CALTRAIN).
It's a fantastic place to live though. I HATED leaving!

I think I would be mainly near and South of San Francisco. I am a bit worried about that region, on the other hand side I was reading that many things are happening in California to make it better?
