 Electro Magnetic Radiation
Our electrical supply creates electromagnetic radiation (EMR).
There are external sources of EMR – such as high voltage power lines, and neighbourhood transmission lines.
There are also internal sources of EMR within our own houses.
These include the electrical appliances we use on a daily basis, and the electrical wiring within the walls.
Some appliances emit large and powerful electromagnetic fields
(EMF’s). Our household wiring can also produce large EMF’s,
particularly if it’s faulty, or improperly grounded.
How we respond to these fields varies enormously, and depends upon our individual makeup, sensitivity, and current state of health.
Babies, children and those who are frail or unwell, are particularly sensitive to exposure to EMF’s.
Some of us are noticeably affected within a very short time, whilst others may not be aware of any symptoms at all . However, being symptom-free doesn’t mean there’s no effect on your health – just that you’re not aware of it.
There are some health affects that result from short term exposure to EMF’s – such as headaches and tiredness.
Consistent and long term exposure to elevated magnetic fields has been linked - by both anecdotal evidence and extensive research - to a wide variety of health complaints.
Here are just some of the health concerns that are linked to exposure to EMF’s:
• Inability to sleep
• feeling flat or depressed
• agitation
• headaches,
• fertility problems
• immune system dysfunction
• breast cancer
• leukaemia
