Electrical Pollution

Electrical pollution is invisible, odorless and inaudible. It comes from a variety of sources. Harmful electromagnetic energy can be carried on the power lines along with clean electricity as it enters your building. It can come from your neighbors, whose polluted current may enter your home's electrical system through a shared transformer.

Computers, TVs, florescent and halogen lighting and virtually all of today's energy-efficient electronic devices create high levels of high frequency harmonics and distortion on electrical circuits in a building's electrical system.  These high frequencies are called dirty electricity and have been associated with many symptoms.

In the process of saving energy energy-efficient devices chop up the conventional 60Hz sine wave and create electrical transients. These transients are pulses of high frequency electromagnetic energy that can be conducted throughout a home or building's electrical wires and devices. This EM energy is much more dangerous then your home wiring's extremely low 60Hz frequency because can actually radiates out from the wires in the form of a radio wave. High frequency transients can extend into radio frequencies (RF) above several megahertz (1 MHz = 106 Hz) and often in the microwave range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electrical transients are micro-surges of powerful electromagnetic RF energy that is carried on the electrical wiring in a building and then radiates harmful high frequency EMF energy throughout a home or building. The higher frequencies associated with dirty electricity is capable of penetrating the human body and causing a great deal of harm.

Radio Frequency Radiation

We are exposed to RF radiation energy every day from a number of sources. The high frequency electrical transients found in many of our home's electrical wiring have been proven to radiate high amounts RF.  We spend much of our time each day living in and working close proximity to a building's wiring and electrical devices, so now some of us are being exposed to high levels of EMF energy.

Wireless communication devices such as cellular phones, transmission towers, cordless/DECT phones and wireless computer networks all produce high frequency RF waves.  These waves can penetrate buildings and walls, contributing to our ongoing daily exposure to electromagnetic RF energy.

The high frequency radio RF produced by cellular, broadcast and other communication towers can travel long distances and the closer you are to the transmission source the more RF energy you will likely absorb. Conductive objects, including a home or building’s electrical wiring system, can act like an antenna picking up and reradiated some of this RF energy for several feet. These invisible frequencies add to a person's daily, ongoing exposure to RF radiation.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

Whenever electric current is flowing, electric and magnetic fields exist.

Some potential sources of EMF:

• All modern electronic devices produce electromagnetic fields (EMF) during operation - some more, some less depending on factors like age, actual load and technology used.
  
• High voltage lines or transformers located close to your area can also be a source of high EMFs.
• Aged, overloaded and wrongly wired electrical wires.
