Welcome to EMFs info
A guide to the debate on electric and magnetic fields and health
This website aims to give you factual, comprehensive and fair information
on power-frequency EMFs (the electric and magnetic fields produced
wherever electricity is generated, distributed or used).
| The electricity
industry regularly publishes its views and comment on scientific
and other developments on EMF's, but these are not contained here.

This site contains a large amount of scientific and other information
– we hope you find it helpful.

EMF
position statement. This site is based in the UK and focuses
primarily on the views of UK-based organisations. Much of the content
is true anywhere. But please note that some of the details of voltages,
frequencies etc, and the fields that can be produced by different
types of power line will be different in other countries. This site
covers power-frequency EMFs only and not radio-frequency or mobile-phone
issues but see here for some useful
