I - I - t:)-Tn Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) Radiation from Power Lines Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are invisible lines of force that surround any electrical device that is plugged in and turned on. EMF are made up of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (radiating) through space. Electric fields are produced by electric charges and magnetic fields are produced by the flow of current through wires or electrical devices. EMF is commonly associated with power lines. A person standing directly under a high-voltage transmission line may feel a mild shock when touching something that conducts electricity. These sensations are caused by the strong electric fields from the high-voltage electricity in the lines. They occur only at close range because the electric fields rapidly become weaker as the distance from the line increases. Many people are concerned about potential adverse health effects. Much of the research about power lines and potential health effects is inconclusive. Despite more than two decades of research to determine whether elevated EMF exposure, principally to magnetic fields, is related to an increased risk of childhood leukemia, there is still no definitive answer. The general scientific consensus is that, thus far, the evidence available is weak and is not sufficient to establish a definitive cause-effect relationship. -I-Ic -x-__I- *--I-. . -. ._^I ~a~~~~~ USA Topics Personal Exposure: * Airport Security Scanning * Cosmic Radiation During Fl ig h ts * CTScans * Dental X-ray @ Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine * Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) Radiation from Power Lines * Lasers * Mammography * Medical X-Rays * Microwave Ovens * Radioactive Materials in Antiques Radiation in Tobacco * Radiation Therapy - External Beam * Radon in Homes and Buildings * Sun Exposure * UV Tanning Equipment Wireless Technology * more topics., .
