The Harmful Effects of EMFs and Its Elimination
CSEF · 2002 Electricity & Electronics
Overview
Objectives/Goals To determine if Electromagnetic fields (EMFs), found inside and around the home, can be prevented by products that claim to prevent EMFs. The hypothesis EMFs, which had previously been determined to affect planaria, will be reduced to a "safe" level, by use of a product made of harmless, non-toxic, natural chemicals purported to stop EMFs. Methods/Materials Three products were used: Diode Transmutation Plaque, Computer Harmonizer, BioElectric Shield, and a Q Link. Each product was tested according to each product's directions, using a F. W. Bell Elf Magnetic field meter, model 4070, to measure the amount of EMFs emitted. Results Each product did not affect the emission of EMFs. This is believed to be because the product does not work. Conclusions/Discussion The products do not work. EMFs cannot be reduced to a safe level by use of a product made of harmless, non-toxic, natural chemicals purported to stop EMFs.
Summary statement
My project is on evaluating materials that claim to stop EMFs.
