Dirty electricity: Tips to reduce EMF exposure

Our environment is increasingly being bombarded by electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and electromagnetic pollution: radio frequency radiation (RFR), poor power quality, low frequency electric and magnetic fields, and ground current.

“Dirty electricity can be used to describe electric power that has become corrupted by our use of modern appliances. Items such as compact fluorescent light bulbs, cell phone transmission antennas, power supplies for portable computers, cell phone chargers, dimmer switches, variable speed fans and many other electronic devices that require a transformer to convert the voltage will dirty the electricity that enters your home. This form of dirty electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) is invisible to the eye, but has a biological effect on the human body and has been associated with a wide variety of illnesses.” said Magda Havas, PhD, associate professor of Environmental and Resource Studies at Trent University.
