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 moreAre low-frequency low energy electromagnetic EM rays harmful or dangerous?
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.4 Ağu 2016
Read moreWhich of the EM waves are harmful?
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 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.
