Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as Radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting.
Read moreAre humans affected by EMF?
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 moreWhat does EMF sensitivity feel like?
Some individuals have reported a wide range of non-specific health problems that they attribute to low-level exposure of electromagnetic fields (EMF). The symptoms most commonly reported include headaches, body pain, lethargy, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), nausea, burning sensation, heart arrhythmia and anxiety .
Read moreWhat is EMF sensitive?
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a condition defined by the attribution of non-specific symptoms to electromagnetic fields (EMF) of anthropogenic origin . Despite its repercussions on the lives of its sufferers, and its potential to become a significant public health issue, it remains of a contested nature.6 May 2020
Read moreIs electromagnetic hypersensitivity psychosomatic?
Some consider the EHS condition to be purely psychosomatic (Rubin et al., 2010, Das-Munshi et al., 2006) — a “made-up term used by hypochondriacs and alternative-medicine practitioners to explain away unrelated medical problems” (National Post, 2011).

Magnetic fields for occupational exposures should be limited to less than 0.5 mT (5 gauss or 5,000 mG) . Should I be worried about my exposure to EMF? The scientific information which exists doesn’t indicate that exposure levels which are commonly encountered have any health effect which requires corrective action.
