Electronic devices like laptop computers, cell phones, WiFi networks, microwave ovens, and even the power used by the wires in our walls and ceilings are so important in modern lives, yet their Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) also known as Electromagnetic […]
The medical journal Fertility and Sterility recently published a laptop radiation study in which Argentinian scientists researched the effect laptop Radio Frequency (RF) radiation and WiFi on human male sperm. In their study, sperm samples from healthy men were placed under a laptop connected to the internet via WiFi. Testing was conducted over a four hour […]
There is a growing awareness that Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) consisting of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) and higher frequency Radio Frequency (RF) radiation found in our environment can be less tolerated by some than others. The intolerance can be identified by medical symptoms, even when exposures of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) are at low […]
An Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) is classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing radiation based on the radiation’s capacity to ionize atoms and interfere with chemical bonds. Very high frequency radiation like X-rays and gamma rays pose these hazards. Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radiation, and higher frequency Radio Frequency (RF) radiation from laptops, for example, are non-ionizing radiations that present […]
Electromagnetic Radiation (also known as Electromagnetic Fields or EMF) is the generated byproduct of electricity traveling through electronic devices. Modern electronic devices, such as laptops, develop a field of radiation or, an Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) field that is strongest when closest to the source and reduces in intensity when moving away from the source. Increasing […]
