Electromagnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment – the earth, sun and ionosphere are all natural sources of EMF. Electromagnetic fields exist everywhere in the environment including our home, school and work place. Electromagnetic fields are generated either by natural or human-made sources.
Read moreWhat things have electromagnetic fields?
They are generated by natural phenomena like the Earth’s magnetic field but also by human activities, mainly through the use of electricity. Mobile phones, power lines and computer screens are examples of equipment that generates electromagnetic fields.
Read moreWhere are electromagnetic fields strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet . It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.
Read moreDo humans have electromagnetic fields?
Electromagnetic fields can be both natural and made by humans . Natural electromagnetic fields are present in the Earth. While they may be invisible, electrical fields are based on the build-up of electric charges in the environment. These electric fields are commonly associated with thunderstorms.
Read moreWhat is considered high level EMF?
Summary: Electric field readings within living spaces above 10 V/m (Volts per meter) are considered high. Dangerous levels of electric field radiation are talked about much less than magnetic field and radio frequency radiation.
Read moreWho is International EMF Project?
As part of its charter to protect public health and in response to public concern over health effects of EMF exposure, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF Project in 1996 to assess the scientific evidence of possible health effects of EMF in the frequency range from 0 to 300 GHz .
Read moreWhat are the WHO guidelines for magnetic field safety?
Routine occupational exposures should not exceed 600 mT (6000 G) to the extremities on an 8 hr time weighted average . A maximum ceiling (i.e. maximum value at any time) should be 2 T for the whole body and 5 T for the extremities.
