Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and Cellular Phones: Controversy over Oral Carcinoma
Abstract: All electrical and electronic devices, anywhere where electricity (electrons) flows through wire, set up magnetic fields (EMFs=low frequency electromagnetic fields). Generation of EMFs occurs when there is any significant flow of electricity. EMFs are alternating fields that center on frequencies up to 300 Hz (radiation in the microwave range). The risk from EMFs occurs from significant exposure from high-voltage power lines or in substation transformers, microwave ovens, cellular phones, appliances …
