Complaints on sensitivity to electromagnetic field levels far below the established exposure limits are unremitting. Although the symptoms are real, a clear causal link to EM-fields has not been established. Our coincidental observation of cows being startled by low amplitude high frequency transient electric fields generated by a new photo-voltaic installation may change this situation.
Read MoreElectromagnetic fields (EMF) permeate the built environment in different forms and come from a number of sources including electrical wiring and devices, wireless communication, ‘energy-efficient’ lighting, and appliances. It can be present in the indoor environment directly from indoor sources, or can be transmitted through building materials from outside sources.
Read MoreElectromagnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment but are invisible to the human eye. Exposure to electromagnetic fields from cell phones and other appliances may hurt our health.
Read MoreEnvironmental exposure to high-frequency voltage transients (HFVT), also termed dirty electricity, has been advocated among electro(hyper)sensitive interest groups as an important biological active component of standard electromagnetic pollution.
Read MorePoor power quality (dirty electricity) is ubiquitous especially in schools with fluorescent lights and computers. Previous studies have shown a relationship between power quality and student behavior/teacher health. The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of power line filters to reduce dirty electricity in a school environment and to document changes in health and behavior among teachers and students.
Read MoreSeveral publications in the scientific literature have raised concern about the individual and public health impact of adverse non-ionizing radiation (a-NIR) from electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure emanating from certain power, electrical and wireless devices commonly found in the home, workplace, school and community.
