Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is high frequency radiation that is commonly used in communications technology. It is emitted by cordless phones, mobile phones, phone towers/antennas, TV, FM and AM broadcast antennas, WIFI networks, microwave ovens, televisions and computers and many other sources.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are lower frequency signals most commonly associated with the use of electricity. They consist of an electric and a magnetic field and these fields are emitted by all power linewiring, electrical appliances and equipment, televisions, computers, microwave ovens. Electromagnetic emissions have been found to interfere with scientific and medical equipment and with the human body. The potential of this interference to affect human health is a much-debated and highly relevant topic at the present time. Because EMR surrounds us at home, at work and in the environment, is an issue affecting every householder, business, every health professional and local government.
Note: In this website the term EMR is used to apply to both low and high frequency fields as a matter of convenience.
