Dangerous electromagnetic fields

isn't it true that electric blankets, cable boxes, and some other electrical devices emit more than a healthy amount of electromagnetic radiation? what are some other devices that exceed a safe amount of emission?

According to some people, all of 'em. According to others, none. EMFs are pretty controversial. I seem to remember reading something about a study that showed a definite link between high voltage lines and increased cancer risk. But it wasn't from the NIH, and it wasn't from the British Journal of Cancer.

Anyway, you can find out all you need to know about EMF research over here, at EMF Services.

Well son, EMF is dangerous and probably a republican corporate creation.
Sunlight, f'r instance, which contains many, many frequencies of deadly electro-magnetic radiation can give cancer. On the other hand, try living without it.
Heat is bad too. But no heat is worse. Unless you're an Bose-Einstein Condensate.
x-rays are really wickedly unhealthy. Unless you need a doctor to see inside you.
magentism is probably bad too. unless you need to find your way. and since we can't get out the earth's magnetic field without exposing ourselves to far higher levels of other nasty wicked emf, there's no way to be sure.
A good test however is: Is the person telling me this a scientist who conducts experiments and accepts the idea of falsification by experimentation? Or are they another dope-smoking fraggle like me, or worse yet a new age space cadet?
If the answer is b, then my suggestion is stop worrying and do something useful and creative with your life.

More important are those highly qualified people who witter on about geopathic stress. An offshoot of the "EMF! RUN!" bunch, they deeply fear an strange bastard child of Feng Shui style energy lines. Interesting in that it makes me wonder why they are allowed to breathe.
