EMF STANDS for “electro-magnetic field” or “electromotive force” (which are different, but deeply related things), and is essentially the hidden magnetic radiation all around us that emits from the sun, from home electronics, from cell phone towers, and from the alternator in your car engine. EMF is one of the fundamental building blocks of nature, like gravity, and is what holds atoms together in all living things. All electronic TECHNOLOGIES work because of clever uses of EMF.

The driver and front seat passenger sitting about 1.5m from the average car alternator receives more than 12 times greater exposure to EMF (from the vehicle alternator) than a home owner would receive from a 2MW wind turbine SET back 550m. At large power stations, WORKERS are regularly within 5-10 meters of electrical generators that are many hundreds of times more powerful than a 2 MW wind turbine at 550 meters from residential communities. The EMF EMITTED by the turbine in downtown Toronto is smaller at only 10’ away than the EMF emitted by a household hair dryer. EMF is an important part of life, and the EMF emitted from wind turbines is nothing to be concerned about.
