EMF.exposed

Easily learn your EMF exposure.

EMF Exposure Analysis

Estimate your electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from common devices and compare against international reference standards. Select your devices, adjust distances and usage patterns, and receive theoretical exposure information based on WHO and ICNIRP guidelines[icnirp-2020]. Our interactive analysis provides theoretical daily EMF exposure calculations based on your inputs from sources like mobile phones, WiFi, power lines, and household appliances. Current scientific evidence has not consistently demonstrated established adverse health effects[who-fact-sheet-2021] at exposure levels below international guideline limits. These calculations are for educational purposes only and are not medical advice.

EMF Standards Selection

Select exposure standards for each EMF field type. These standards define the reference limits used for exposure calculations.

Static Fields (DC)

Static (0 Hz)

Static magnetic fields that don't change over time

Limit: 1000 μT

Combined WHO occupational exposure limits with Earth's natural field baseline

Extremely Low Frequency (ELF)

3-30 Hz

Extremely low frequency magnetic fields

Limit: 200 μT

General public exposure limit for extremely low frequency magnetic fields

Power Frequency (AC)

50-60 Hz

Power-frequency electromagnetic fields

Limit: 0.35 μT

Balanced average of WHO, EU, NIEHS, and ARPANSA guidelines

Low Frequency (LF)

100 kHz

Low frequency electromagnetic fields

Limit: 27 μT

Public exposure limit for low frequency fields

Medium Frequency (MF)

300 kHz - 30 MHz

Medium to high frequency fields from AM radio, industrial heaters

Limit: 0.92 W/m²

Public exposure limits for medium/high frequency fields. Important for broadcast and industrial areas.

EMF Measurement Methodology

  • Inverse square/cube law field calculations
  • Time-weighted 24-hour exposure averages
  • Position-based exposure modeling
  • Multi-band frequency analysis (DC to RAD)

Scientific Standards & Research

  • Based on ICNIRP 2020 guidelines
  • WHO exposure recommendations
  • IEEE C95.1 measurement protocols
  • Recent systematic reviews
  • Long-term epidemiological studies

Current Scientific Understanding

Current scientific consensus from international health organizations indicates thatno established evidence of adverse health effectshas been consistently demonstrated from EMF exposure below international guideline limits. Major systematic reviews have found limited or inconsistent evidence of health effectsat exposure levels typically encountered in daily life.

Key Research Findings:

  • Large-scale mobile phone studies have not found consistent increased risk of brain tumors with regular use
  • 5G technology research indicates frequencies similar to previous mobile technologies
  • ELF magnetic field studies suggest possible associations only at high occupational exposure levels
  • Children's exposure research finds limited evidence for adverse effects
