Homes are filled with electric magnetic fields (EMFs), EMFs are created every time anything electrical is used. Hair dryers, alarm clocks, micro waves and radios are just a few examples. All these appliances cause leukemia, a form of cancer.High EMF fields are not very unusual. EMFs can pass through walls, so one can also be exposed to them from power lines and transformers. Using a hair dryer for 3 minutes would give the same exposure that one would get living next to a high voltage power line.Just in the last 18 years health researchers found out that EMFs are dangerous. That is why this is such a new topic.In 1979, two scientist found a connection between electrical systems and childhood cancer (leukemia). This then set off more studies on this topic around the world. They found in their research that children who lived near power lines were at three times the risk of contracting leukemia, than children who did not live close to the lines. A later test concluded that the risk of living near a high voltage line doubled the chances of getting cancer. This test was conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), it also showed that electrical workers are at three times the risk of contracting cancer.The NCI test was different in many ways from the first test.624 children were used in the study, The strength of the magnetic fields were measured with a device that was placed underneath the childs bed. The NCI also measured the nearby power lines EMF levels. The people collecting the data did not know if they were collecting data from patent or the control. All the investigators were neutral meaning that they did not care one way or another. EMF exposure can be reduced by standing farther away from electrical appliances. If possible stand 3-5 feet away from microwaves, electric mixers, dryers, washing machines and toasters.Hair dryers also put out high levels of EMFs along with Alarm clocks, radios, Televisions, VCRs, co...
