E M F's
Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as Radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting. EMFs are typically grouped into categories by their frequency:
Non-ionizing: low-level radiation common sources:
- House energy smart meters
- Wireless (wifi) networks
- Cell Phones
- Bluetooth devices
- Dimmers on lights
- Power lines
Ionizing: high-level radiation which has the potential for cellular and DNA damage sources:
- Sunlight
- X-Rays
- Some Gamma Rays
Our lifestyle, technology and homes are dramatically
increasing our exposure to EMF's on a daily basis.
Health Risks Associated with EMF Exposure
Exposure to EMFs from high-power electrical lines, wireless antennas, and cell phones can lead to sympathetic dominance of the autonomic nervous system.
EMF's disrupt human physiological functions and can alter heart rate variability (HRV), increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and mental health disorders.
Low-frequency EMFs may also contribute to neuro-degenerative disorders, memory loss, mood changes, oxidative stress, inflammation, altered cerebral blood flow, DNA damage, and genotoxicity.
High frequency and radio-frequency EMFs (from cell phones) are classified as a Class B carcinogens.
