Effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF)?

Question

What are the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on humans?

Please explain..thx

Answer 1

You can have a look at the link below, it's a long report but explains research done to date:

http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_risk/committees/04_scenihr/docs/scenihr_o_007.pdf

The following link is also good at explaining some of the symptoms that have been eluded to being caused by exposure to EMF:

In my humble opinion since EMF is a physical field that is produced by electrically charged objects, we also generate EM fields as all our nerves transfer information to and from the brain in the form of tiny electrical signals. Therefore taking into consideration The Ampère-Maxwell Law it would be logical to assume that external EM fields will impact all biological life forms that use electricity, as they may alter the magnitude and nature of these electrical charges.

However as can be seen from the article in the first link none of this has been proven and more studies are required before any conclusions can be jumped to.

Hope that is of some help.

Good luck

Answer 2

An electric field is defined as =Force per Unit charge.
A magnetic field is magnetic force per charge ^2 per unit time ^2.
