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 do low-frequency waves do to the brain?
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 moreWhat is considered extremely low frequency?
Extremely low frequency (ELF) is the ITU designation for electromagnetic radiation (radio waves) with frequencies from 3 to 30 Hz , and corresponding wavelengths of 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers, respectively. In atmospheric science, an alternative definition is usually given, from 3 Hz to 3 kHz.
Read moreIs low or high frequency dangerous?
So the power delivered by a low frequency radiation comes in a great number of small packets, while the same amount of power carried by an higher frequency radiations is composed by few large packets. This is the reason why high frequency radiation is more harmful than lower frequency radiation .
