Electrosmog is a collective term encompassing artificially produced non-ionising radiation in the frequency range from 0 hertz to 300 gigahertz.
There are high-frequency and low-frequency fields:
Low-frequency fields are connected with cables. Low-frequency refers to fields with frequencies up to 30 kHz. Mains power systems in Europe have a frequency of 50 Hz.
The low-frequency fields are divided into: • electrical alternating fields and • magnetic alternating fields
Electric Field When no electricity is used, the wiring system is still energized and live. The electric field does not stay around its source but leaves it and „jumps“ onto a conductive material.
Magnetic Field If an appliance, a light bulb or any other device uses electricity, this electricity „flows“ through the wiring system of your home - known as current flow. This current flow produces a magnetic field around the wires and appliances.
Mobile applications use high-frequency fields with frequencies up to 300 GHz.
