EMF Radiation aquarium pumps

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
This was a good read, good experiment but I think ehh ehh hit the nail on the head in his first post

An interesting medical article showing low-frequency electromagnetic fields affecting cells more than high frequency. You would think the higher frequencies would be more damaging.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7880171

Stating your opinion as a fact doesn't make it true.

Medical scientific articles state that EMF has detrimental efects even in low amounts found living next to power lines.

The EMF in aquarium pumps is 20x's that found in living near power lines.

I'm not saying a person will be harmed from their aquarium pump. I'm just sharing that studies have been done that show detrimental effects of EMF to humans.
I 100% refuse to believe an aquarium pump puts out a higher, more harmful dosage of radiation than a high tension wire lol.

That. I would not think a weaker electromagnetic field could possibly put out an amount of energy to screw with DNA and cause cancer

I think a lot of people get hung up on the word "radiation" and quickly forget that visible light is also a type of radiation. Not all radiation will give you cancer.

No studies have any proof that radio wave (wifi), microwaves (microwaves) or infrared(heat) can cause cancer. They can burn you but there is no proof they cause cancer. However, the radio waves coming from your wifi router are not going to burn you. Water can drown you but you aren't going to drown in a cup of water. And the microwaves your microwaves generate are confined to the interior of the microwave.
The only kinds of electromagnetic radiation that can cause cancer is uv (sunlight), X-ray(X-ray machines) and gamma(nuclear reactors).
These are considered types of radiation. electromagnetic fields are different. They are not considered radiation.

As joe boxer said, there is no scientific consensus that magnetic fields are dangerous to humans. There is a lot of speculation but all the research has a lot of "if's" and "possible's". I think the consensus (on the physics side at least) is that there isn't any concern.

No offense, Rizz. I understand why you're sharing this. I'm saying what I'm saying because I have a little bit of experience on the topic and I know that people are typically concerned about "radiation".
But ime, unless your filter is producing X-rays or gamma rays... I'm confident it is not going to give you cancer.

BAM. Well said ehh ehh

i was not thinking electromagnetic fields are the type to degenerate DNA

Nailed it.

And the last thing we want are people being scared to go get MRIs that can potentially save their life. This is the kind of thinking that got people off vaccines, but I don't want to open that can of worms here.

the advantages outweigh the potential disadvantages for both

Or radiotherapy for that matter.
