electromagnetic fields

Charge-generated spatial influences

Electromagnetic fields are regions of space where electric and magnetic forces act together, produced by charged particles and electric currents.

They propagate as waves—radio waves, microwaves, visible light, X-rays—differing only in frequency.

The power lines generate electromagnetic fields.

In alternative health circles, EMFs are often blamed for vague symptoms, though scientific evidence for harm from everyday exposure remains limited.
