Broadcast AM and FM radio, and television programs reach our radios by a process of electromagnetic radiation.
Cellular phones work because of electromagnetic radiation.
Many common appliances including video display terminals, microwave ovens and even garage door openers produce electromagnetic radiation. Voluntary standards have been developed by several organizations to act as guidelines for the design of equipment that can generate electromagnetic fields so that the safe operation of that equipment can be assured. IEEE C95.1-1992 was developed by a team of 125 experts including physicians, engineers and scientists. No. 86 are based on nearly 1000 scientific and medical papers. These papers summarize an even larger body of laboratory and epidemiological studies and serve as the basis for defining the limits of safe exposure to electromagnetic radiation for devices ranging from cellular phones to amateur radio transmitters, to TV broadcasting stations.
