Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy generated by electrically charged objects, such as power lines, cell phones, and electronic devices. They consist of electric and magnetic components that oscillate and propagate through space. EMFs are classified into two types: extremely low frequency (ELF), like household wiring, and radiofrequency (RF), used in wireless communications. While EMFs are everywhere around us due to modern technology, scientific research continues to study their potential health effects, with current evidence suggesting typical exposure levels are generally safe. Understanding EMFs helps us make informed decisions about technology use and safety standards.
