In a world driven by technology of every type imaginable, our reliance on how we exist and function quite often relies on electronic communication devices, networks, and storage. Our households use microwave ovens and have 5G routers, as well. Saying that our modern business world uses a EMF-based technology backbone would be understatement!
Exposure to technology touches everyone daily. However, it is the reality of what that exposure causes that’s not been brought to our attention. Everyone should be aware of known health risks of EMF exposure.
EMF radiation is absolutely real and measurable. Despite the misinformation and falsehoods often proliferated by corporate entities and any governmental agency involved in human health, the adverse health effects resulting from exposure to EMF are (also) well-documented.
Let us define exactly what are EMF, and what types of devices or services expose humans to EMF. Electro-Magnetic Fields, or EMF, are invisible areas of energy associated with electrical power and various forms of natural and artificial lighting.
EMF radiation exists on a spectrum, ranging from ELF (ELF) fields produced by electrical wiring to RF (RF) radiation from wireless devices to visible light and beyond.
Despite the misinformation and falsehoods often proliferated by corporate entities and any governmental agency involved in human health, the adverse health effects resulting from exposure to EMF are (also) well-documented.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELF and RF?
The key distinction that matters for health is between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays) has enough energy to break chemical bonds and directly damage DNA. Non-ionizing radiation (the EMF from your devices) was long assumed to be harmless because it lacks this direct bond-breaking capability.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF EMF EXPOSURE?
Thermal effects occur when EMF heats body tissue. This is how microwave ovens work and is the basis for current safety standards. Regulators assume that if EMF does not heat your tissue, it cannot harm you. Non-thermal effects occur at exposure levels too low to cause measurable heating. Research has documented biological changes at these levels.
CONCLUSION
A clear and present threat to human health is exactly what exposure to EMF poses! This is neither conjecture, hypothesis, or an opinion. More than 3,500 peer-reviews studies to be found in the Bioinitiative Report, a yearly publication created by an international working group of scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals, Within that publication, the group CLEARLY link EMF exposure to effects on DNA, hormones, the nervous system, and reproductive health. / In Part Two of Health Risks of EMF Exposure, we’ll examine closely illnesses and/or conditions affecting those having experienced harmful EMF as well as how the private sector has responded
