EMF could mean one of two things depending on the context in which it is used. When discussing all-things radiation, EMF stands for electromagnetic field. But, when you come across the term in the context of batteries and cells, it stands for electromotive force.
It’s impossible to imagine a life without batteries. After all, these simple devices are what power up your cellphone, laptop, tablet, pocket calculator, flashlight, virtually every mobile device in existence.
On its own, a battery looks like the dullest thing you’ll ever come across. But the moment you hook it up to something like your smartphone, that little unit turns into your portable power plant and brings your device to life. Without further ado, let’s dive into defining the EMF of a battery in simple words.

When it comes to flying, you hardly ever consider the radiation risk you face from the moment you walk through airport security. With all the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) bombarding you from every direction, you would think that being thousands of feet above the ground would keep you safe from them – at the very least, for the duration of your flight.
Well, you thought wrong. Not only are you exposed to EMFs from all the electronic devices onboard the aircraft, but you also face higher levels of cosmic radiation from outer space than if you were on the ground. This guide takes an in-depth look at everything you need to know about radiation from flying on planes.

As wireless devices make life much more convenient, they also bring a wide variety of health risks. Cancer, neurological conditions, and reproductive disorders are just a few linked to these devices. And it all comes down to the radiofrequency electric and magnetic fields, or RF EMFs, the devices emit. In knowing the potential for harm, … Read more

The Apple iPhone is one of those pieces of technology that has truly helped shaped modern society. It influences the way we communicate with one another, work, how we consume news, entertainment, and other media, etc. Heck, even the way we go about our daily lives moment by moment.

Modern life is a little like living inside a very low-power microwave oven. We are constantly exposed to electromagnetic (EMF) radiation from our phones, laptops, televisions, Internet routers, and all the similar devices our nearby neighbors use. We are bombarded with EMF radiation from power lines, cell towers (check issues of living near a cell … Read more

All electronic devices emit radiation in one form or another – there’s no escaping it. The plus side to the radiation coming from your computer or refrigerator, however, is that you’re not constantly being exposed to it. The same can’t be said of your cell phone, which is in your face or pocket 24/7. While … Read more

We use more gadgets today than at any other point in history. How easy is it for you to get through the day without reaching for your phone or firing up your laptop? Many jobs today require people to stay connected 24/7.  However, our dependence on devices exposing us to electromagnetic fields (EMF) extends beyond our tablets … Read more

Phones are everywhere. It’s no wonder that many current and expectant parents may wonder whether phone radiation could be harmful to babies. The truth is, phones have never been as prolific as they are now. And it may be some time before we truly understand the long-term consequences of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation. Especially on … Read more
