Biological effects of EMI from domestic appliance

Electromagnetic fields have adverse effect on human health. Low frequency, radio frequency and microwave frequency may cause flow of current through the human body. This flow of current generates heat and produce thermal injury. Natural low frequency fields are static electric fields between ionosphere and earth, and static electromagnetic pulses due to lightning. These fields have been keeping living beings in an invisible cage of EM wave and pulses. The health effects that might originate from EM radiations are almost certainly the most complicated and difficult to understand of all the effects of EM radiations. In domestic appliances a controlled environment is created where the radiated E & H fields are reduced below safe values by different means viz. shields, gaskets. The average specific absorption rate (SAR), is 0.08W/kg for a person's entire body and peak SAR is 1.6W/kg. This paper attempts to analyze and present biological effects of EM1 on people working within the vicinity of radiations emitted by domestic appliances.
