Question 1

What level of EMF is dangerous?

Accepted Answer

For radiofrequency radiation, 0.2 V/m is the daytime limit and 0.06 V/m is the recommended limit for the night. However, for people who are hypersensitive to EMF, RF radiation reading shouldn’t exceed 0.02 V/m.

1 mG is the safe limit for MF radiation. But for hypersensitive people, it should not exceed 0.1 mG. 

For ELF radiation, the daytime limit is 10 V/m and 1.5 V/m is for the night. People with high sensitivity to EMF should ensure Electric Field reading does not exceed 0.3 V/m.

Question 2

Is EMF a radiation?

Accepted Answer

Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of waves. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves and can be called radiation. But there is a spectrum of EMF radiation with waves of different frequencies. 

There are two main kinds of radiation; electromagnetic radiation and particulate radiation. Nuclear radiation for instance is particulate radiation where mass is given off with the energy of motion.

Question 3

Is Non-Ionizing radiation harmful to humans?

Accepted Answer

It’s not as dangerous as the ionizing radiation, as you don’t see immediate effects. But for this very reason, people tend to ignore excessive EMF exposure for a prolonged time. This will result in physical or mental health issues. Researches also suggest that EMF can be a cancer-causing agent. However, there is nothing conclusive.

Studies have found reports of people who were exposed to high levels of EMF having symptoms such as insomnia, reproductive problems, depression, etc. This is highly suggestive of what kinds of risks are imminent for people who spend too much time near EMF technology. 

Most of the electronics at our homes emit non-ionizing radiation. It’s harmful if you are exposed to it for an extended period of time.

Question 4

Should I use EMF meters to gauge health risks?

Accepted Answer

Sure, it’s a great way to be certain that you are not exposed to serious levels of EMF radiation. If you find this to be the case, there are simple steps to lower radiation levels at your home or office. Finding the exact EMF levels at your house is the first step towards reducing the risks. 

Distancing yourself from devices like Smart meters or WiFi routers can help lower the EMF dangers. So, getting EMF meters and then learning about the danger limit for each type of EMF radiation will help you access the risks to your health.

Question 5

Do power lines cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

Scientists have been speculating about the possibility of EMF radiation being carcinogenic. Some believe that exposure to high levels of EMF over a long period can reduce levels of the hormone melatonin. 

A study in 1979 pointed to a possible relation between cancer patients and their exposure to power lines. Power lines do emit low-frequency EMF radiation. If you live too close to power lines, you might want to consider EMF protection to lower the exposure.
