"Electromagnetic fields, or EMFs for short, are ubiquitous, invisible waves emitted from a vast array of energy sources. These include the sun, X-rays, telephone lines and ordinary electrical appliances. Until the turn of the country, exposure to EMFs was minimal. Modern electrical-power plants and transmission systems, however, boosted the number and strength of electric and magnetic fields that wave through the atmosphere. These fields surround not only those who live near or work in the electrical industry but anyone who works in a modern office building or irons clothes, watches television or, in fact, uses any electrical appliances. In short, we are all vulnerable to one degree or another."
