Discomfort from, Sensitivity to, and Irritability from Noise . Discomfort, sensitivity to noise, and irritability are other effects on human health due to exposure to low-frequency noise.
Read moreWhat is causes of low-frequency in electricity?
The main source of extremely low frequencies is alternating current carried in power lines, wiring and household appliances . The electromagnetic field generated has the same frequency as the current that causes it, i.e.50Hz or 60Hz (the latter predominantly in US).
Read moreAre EMF waves harmful to humans?
Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health . The focus of international research is the investigation of possible links between cancer and electromagnetic fields, at power line and radiofrequencies.
Read moreWhich type of waves are toxic to humans?
The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves . X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them.
Read moreWhat is ELF used for?
Abstract. Extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves are currently the lowest frequency waves used routinely for wireless communication .15 Nis 2003
Read moreWhat is the use of extremely low frequency?
ELF fields are generally used for power utilities (transmission, distribution, and applications) and for strategic global communications with submarines submerged in conducting seawater .
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.
