Electromagnetic Fields

Humans are constantly exposed to electric and magnetic fields, the invisible lines of force associated with motors and heating coils in electronic equipment, home wiring and lighting. EMF also is associated with the production, transmission and use of electric power.

The National Institute of Health studies say that "no one knows which aspect of EMF exposure, if any, affects human health." Two decades of research have not determined a cause-and-effect between EMF from power lines and common, widespread diseases including cancer or leukemia.

For more information on the EMF and EMF studies, please see the National Institute of Health's website, www.nih.gov, or the World Health Organization's site, www.who.int
