This is completely wrong; there is an enormous body of evidence out there, but public and even academic awareness seems to be very poor. Therefore, we will be presenting a list of papers and odds ratios which either show serious effects or are considered important papers on the subject which we have collected over the years. This page will be updated regularly. P This study has found effects from the exposure or radiation category N This study has found no effects from the exposure or radiation category - This study has offered important insights or findings but is neither a positive or null finding http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/science/studies.asp A basic guide to EMFs Science index » Overview | Article library | List of studies | Basic guide to EMFs | International guidance levels | Unit conversion | Frequently asked questions | Other resources EMFs (Electromagnetic fields) are a highly complex subject which can be difficult to understand, especially given the level of jargon used. We hope to explain some of the basics here, including references to further information where appropriate. What are EMFs? An EMF (which stands for "Electromagnetic Field") is a field of energy created by electrically charged objects. An electromagnetic field has two "components", a magnetic component and an electric component. The electric field is produced by stationary charges, and the magnetic field by moving charges (currents). Electromagnetic fields are also often referred to as "Electromagnetic Radiation" (EMR). You can't see, feel or hear electromagnetic fields, apart from visible light, which is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. What is the electromagnetic spectrum? The full EMF spectrumThe electromagnetic spectrum refers to the range of different types of Electromagnetic Radiation. These are usually sorted by the frequency. The frequency which the field oscillates at defines the type of EMR. Here are some of the technologies that use or give off EMFs: Mains electricityRadioTVMobile PhonesMicrowave ovensWiFiInfra-redVisible lightUltravioletX-raysFor visual explanation, NASA have a simple but useful diagram, and there is a far more detailed diagram available from Thinkgeek (purchase required).
