Electric and magnetic fields
Does exposure to EMF pose a health risk?
Electric and magnetic fields, which are associated with transmission lines and substations, surround us every day. They are natural consequences of our use of electricity. These fields are produced by lights, motors, television sets, coffee makers, hair dryers and all other devices that use electricity. Numerous EMF studies have been conducted during the past 30 years to determine if exposure to EMF is harmful. More than 20 scientific review panels have analyzed this body of research and concluded that none of these studies has established a cause and effect relationship between EMF and any harmful health effects. GTC will be happy to provide scientific literature and provide magnetic field measurements on your property.
