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.
Read moreWhat does low frequency do to your body?
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 moreWhat is the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation?
The main difference between ionizing and nonionizing radiation is that ionizing radiation refers to types of radiation where the radiation carries enough energy to ionize atoms, whereas nonionizing radiation refers to types of radiation that do not carry enough energy to ionize atoms .
Read moreHow do you stop ELF radiation?
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 moreWhich is non-ionizing radiation?
Non-ionizing radiation includes visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light; microwaves; radio waves; and radiofrequency energy from cell phones .
Read moreHow harmful is non-ionizing radiation?
Non-ionizing radiation is not strong enough to directly affect the structure of atoms or damage DNA ; however, it does cause atoms to vibrate, which can cause them to heat up. When RF energy is very strong, such as from radar transmitters, it can be dangerous.23 Ara 2021
Read moreWhat are the 5 types of non-ionizing radiation?
Non-ionizing radiation includes the spectrum of ultraviolet (UV), visible light, infrared (IR), microwave (MW), radio frequency (RF), and extremely low frequency (ELF) .
