- EMF is the invisible lines of force produced by voltage and current that surround any electrical device or electrical power line (whether above or buried underground).
- Some electrical applicances emit more EMF than others.
- Microwave machines, toasters, computers and coffee makers are some of the appliances that emit strong EMFs when they are in use.
- Power lines and cell phones are also sources of EMF.
- Experts warn that EMF exposure could possibly have harmful health effects.
- The further the distance is kept away from these appliances, the weaker the strength of EMF.
- There are handheld meters (also called gaussmeters) that can measure the EMFs in your house or office.
