Introduction
 Electromagnetic wave is the radiation consisting of waves
of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields
resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge.
 We should know that all

station of radiation use
electromagnetic waves
where electromagnetic
waves are transverse
waves that travel at
the speed of light, c.
 The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of
frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic
radiation, including Radio waves, Microwaves,
Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays and Gamma
rays.
 The spectrum with long wavelength is radio waves

(more than 106nm) and Gamma rays is the shortest
wavelength (less than 0.01nm).
The Rationale
 We have all heard of the threats we face from
pesticides in our food and water, from acid rain, from
holes in the ozone, from toxic waste that can't be
safely disposed of. But what about electromagnetic
energy fields?
 Yes, electromagnetic fields of all kinds are becoming
a growing threat to our health and well-being. And
unlike some forms of pollution, electromagnetic
pollution exists virtually everywhere.
 Twenty-four hours a day we are exposed to an
alarming array of harmful electromagnetic fields.
Inside our homes, we are zapped Outside our home, we are zapped
by: by:
 Hair dryers  Communication dishes

 Electric jugs  Industrial machines
 Water heaters  TV transmitters high
 TV tension power lines and
transformers
 Radios
 Broadcast frequencies
 Desktop computers from radio and TV
 Laptop computers  Hand phone towers
 Vacuum cleaners  Electromagnetic fields
 Microwave ovens generated by cars
Unless you live in some remote corner of the planet, there is no

escape. Simply put, our growing exposure to electromagnetic energy
fields is a serious threat to our health, and the health of our children.
Electromagnetic Waves Effects On
Health Issues
 Hand Phones
 Microwaves Oven
 Radiation from Emitter Station
 Television
Hand Phone
o Disclosure to antenna continuously will get emit
radiation to our body, normally involved head.
o The signals sent out while users are communicating

through their hand phones can attract lightning
bolts.
o If a people who talking hand phone for a long period,

this person has higher possible feels headache.
o Electromagnetic caused brain cancer.

Hand Phones Can Attract Lightning Bolts
A lecturer from Universiti Putra Malaysia, Dr Ishak Arif

told Berita Harian that hand phones used radio
frequencies electromagnetic waves of between
9,900MHz and 1.2GHz, while 3G phones used 3GHz or
more.
He said lightning that carried thousands of volts could

pass through a person within seconds, resulting in instant
death. Dr. Ishak advised hand phone users to switch
them off during thunderstorms. At the same time, hand
phone casings that have metal parts can also attract
lightning.
British Medical Journal Of The Risk Of Using
Hand Phones Outdoor During Stormy Weather.
Three doctors describe the case of a 15 year old girl who was
struck by lightning while using hand phones in a large park in
London during stormy. She was resuscitated, but unfortunately
one year later she suffered complex physical, cognitive and
emotional problems.
Explanation:
If someone is struck by lightning, the high resistance of human
skin results in lightning being conducted over the skin without
entering the body.
They found three cases reported in newspapers in China,

Korea, and Malaysia, all resulting in death.
Person Has Higher Possible Feels Headache:
Report Of Two Russian Journalists
They show how to cook an egg with hand phones. It is

possible to boil an egg by using the radiation that is
emitted by our hand phones.
Result:
At the 65-minute, one of the cell phones ran out of power,
they cracked open the egg and found it was cooked to the
equivalent of a soft boil.
Explanation:
The secret of this impossible case is in the electromagnetic
wave that the hand phones radiate.
I was started worry about is they my brain starting to cook

slowly, this is because I am one of the person who use
hand phone for long period in a day.
Electromagnetic Caused Brain Cancer?
As for now, we really don't know whether

hand phone waves can cause any cancer.

MICROWAVE OVEN
• Low Energy
• Second low frequency
• Common Uses: Telecommunications, Microwaves, Radar
• Dangers: Can kill healthy cells, can affect people with

pacemakers
 X-rays
• High energy, Short wavelength, High Frequency
• Blocked by high density substances
• Common uses: Medical, kill cancer cells, inspect

baggage
• Dangers: Kills healthy cells

 Gamma Rays
 High energy, Short wavelength, High Frequency
 Blocked by lead or concrete
 Uses: Astronomy research
 Dangers: Can damage healthy tissue
A Few Suggestions
 While we should all be concerned about how much
ourselves and our children are exposed to harmful
electromagnetic fields, we don't need to feel
powerless.
 In the public arena, you can demand for this problem
to be squarely addressed by government, science and
industry.
 Personally, you can take a look around your home and
offices and design things in such a way that you
minimize your exposure to electromagnetic energy.
• Don't sleep under electric blankets or on a waterbed.
Both of these products generate a constant stream of electromagnetic
energy that quietly saturates your body for long periods of time. You
should also relocate any electric wires that might be running under your
bed.
• Sit at least 3 meters away from televisions.

Generally, the bigger the screen, the further away you should sit. A
gauss meter can tell you how far the harmful field extends for a
particular television .
• Avoid standing too close to microwave ovens when they are in use
move about 3 meters away.
Better still, leave the room. Unplug your microwave when not in use.
(Consider getting rid of your microwave altogether, as some studies also
indicate they alter food in a way that is harmful to our bodies.)
Conclusion
 None of the recent reviews have concluded that
exposure to the Radiofrequency fields from hand
phones, microwaves oven, television or their emitter
stations causes any adverse health consequence.
 However, there are gaps in knowledge that have been

identified for further research to better assess health
risks.
 It will take some years for the required radiofrequency

research to be completed, evaluated and to publish the
final results of any health risks.
