Electromagnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment . Electric fields are produced by natural sources such as the local build-up of electric charges in the atmosphere associated with thunderstorms while the earth’s magnetic field is used by birds and fish for navigation.
Read moreAre magnetic fields 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 .
Read moreIs RF EMF harmful to humans?
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 low frequency EM waves harmful?
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 an unsafe EMF level?
Some scientists recommend that safe EMF exposure levels range from 0.5 mG to 2.5 mG . At this rate, your risk for electromagnetic-related disease and illness is low, although effects may vary depending on how electro-sensitive you are.
Read moreWhat is the health effect of radiofrequency?
The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use.
