How Does EMI Affect the Human Body and Brain? (Download)

Dec. 21, 2021

Read this article online.

During the last 50 years, man-made electromagnetic energy, leaking into our environment, has grown exponentially. This energy is not intentional but does cause interference with our environment as well as our human bodies.

In today’s world, everyone has a cell phone, and we’re also surrounded by high-voltage power lines. How does EMI affect our nervous systems?

A very key parameter for effects on the human body is the frequency of EMI. Cell-phone radiation occurs at higher frequencies than powerline radiation—over a million times higher. High frequencies tend to penetrate less while heating human tissue, similar to a microwave oven. It’s been speculated that high-frequency electromagnetic energies may interfere and resonate with DNA and other cellular functions that may trigger cancerous changes.
