Frequently Asked Questions

Electromagnetic waves are present in every environment where alternating electrical current is generated. Visible light represents only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that ranges from ionizing radiation (i.e. X-rays and gamma rays) to non-ionizing radiation - extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves. In reality, between these two extremes, other types of electromagnetic waves are present. These include radio frequencies, infrared waves, visible light, microwaves and ultraviolet light. Electromagnetic waves are also present naturally in the environment: the sun, the planets and the stars all radiate electromagnetic waves which affect life on earth in different ways. Just like other forms of energy, electromagnetic waves have properties such as wave length, amplitude, frequency and power. The energy radiating from a source diminishes proportionally to the increasing distance from the source itself. The growing use of electric and electronic devices is increasing the level of electromagnetic waves within our environment. Because of this, we face growing concerns about their potentially dangerous impact on the environment and on our personal health. What are the effects of microwave ovens, computers, mobile phones, pagers, radio transmitters, electric pylons, overhead power lines and powerful transmitting stations on our lives? The answer can only be found by understanding more clearly the properties of electromagnetic waves and their affect on the human body.
