ELFs can affect the activity of brain neurons and thereby, interfere with brain waves as proved in extensive research on human and animal models. ELFs can reduce or increase the amplitude of different brain waves depending on their frequencies.
Read moreIs low-frequency harmful?
The issue of extremely low frequency (ELF) biological effects is very controversial. Research has focused on possible carcinogenic, reproductive, and neurological effects . Other suggested health effects include cardiovascular, brain and behavior, hormonal and immune system changes.
Read moreWhat low-frequency is harmful to humans?
In the past 30 years the concern that daily exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) (1 to 300 Hz ) might be harmful to human health (cancer, neurobehavioral disturbances, etc) has been the object of debate, and has become a public health concern.
Read moreWhy are low-frequency waves dangerous?
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 are the 7 types of electromagnetic waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays .
Read moreWho gave electromagnetic wave theory?
About 150 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell , an English scientist, developed a scientific theory to explain electromagnetic waves. He noticed that electrical fields and magnetic fields can couple together to form electromagnetic waves.
Read moreWhat is Maxwell’s electromagnetic wave theory?
In his formulation of electromagnetism, Maxwell described light as a propagating wave of electric and magnetic fields . More generally, he predicted the existence of electromagnetic radiation: coupled electric and magnetic fields traveling as waves at a speed equal to the known speed of light.
