The NIEHS recommends that people concerned about their exposure to EMF (and ELF radiation) find out where their major EMF sources are and move away from them or limit the time spent near them . For example, moving even an arm’s length away from a source can dramatically lower exposure to its field.18 Nis 2017

Read moreDo power lines give off radiation?
EMR associated with power lines is a type of low frequency non-ionizing radiation . Electric fields are produced by electric charges, and magnetic fields are produced by the flow of electrical current through wires or electrical devices.

Some recent epidemiologic studies have suggested that the exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect human health, because of the incidence of certain types of cancer, depression, and miscarriage have been increased among individuals living or working in environments exposed to such …
Read moreHow do radio waves affect health?
Exposure to very high RF intensities can result in heating of biological tissue and an increase in body temperature . Tissue damage in humans could occur during exposure to high RF levels because of the body’s inability to cope with or dissipate the excessive heat that could be generated.
Read moreAre radio waves harmful or helpful?
Radio waves are used for communication such as television and radio. Radio waves are transmitted easily through air. They do not cause damage if absorbed by the human body , and they can be reflected and refracted to change their direction. These properties make them ideal for communications.
Read moreHow does radiofrequency affect the body?
RF radiation has lower energy than some other types of non-ionizing radiation, like visible light and infrared, but it has higher energy than extremely low-frequency (ELF) radiation. If RF radiation is absorbed by the body in large enough amounts, it can produce heat. This can lead to burns and body tissue damage .1 Haz 2020
