“Disturbance” Thinking is a space for us to explain why and how we run the company, and share some of the things that happen when trying to get a startup going. If we can help others in the startup community, that would be a win for us!
Is Electromagnetic Energy Harmful to Humans?
Fortunately, the majority of people are not ultrasensitive to ElectroMagnetic Field energy.
The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is tasked with determining whether electromagnetic energy created by devices like cellphones, microwaves and high-power electric lines are harmful to animals and humans.
In a recent publication, they adopted safety standards published by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. These guidelines are intended to set industry standards for devices that create electromagnetic energy so that the use of the devices will not be harmful.
There are several publications which describe individuals who appear to be ultrasensitive to electromagnetic energy. In the presence of high-power electric lines, these individuals report skin irritation. Fortunately, the majority of people are not ultrasensitive to ElectroMagnetic Field energy. For example, a wireless cellphone charger is a common device used in American households. A wireless cellphone charger creates a small electromagnetic field from which your cellphone battery receives a charge. If you are ultrasensitive to EMF energy, using a wireless cellphone charger might cause skin irritation. If you don’t get a rash when charging your cellphone, you are not ultrasensitive to EMF energy.
The natural emission of electromagnetic energy by the human body is well below the standards created for industry. Otherwise, being in a crowd of people might subject you to excessive electromagnetic field energy levels. In order to measure the electromagnetic energy created by your body, we need to use low or ultra low frequency electromagnetic field sensors.
Our new company is pioneering the use of low and ultra low frequency EMF sensors to assess the normal, healthy creation of energy by your body. We are also pioneering whether the energy that your body creates is strong enough to “disturb” electromagnetic fields that exist near your body. That is why we named our company EMF “Disturbance” Monitors.
Stay tuned as we move forward with our Research and Development on the use of low and ultra low frequency EMF sensors to assess your healthy energy production.
