EMF Radiation aquarium pumps

To put this in perspective
Studies have been done showing low powered EMF causes negative biological affects. Some studies showed a 2 fold increased leukemia rate in children living near electric wires exposed to 4ut of EMF radiation on a daily basis. These children were not sitting and sleeping directly on the high powered wires. Aquarium pumps are producing 20x's this much EMF when standing within inches of them and this level falls off rapidly as you step back from the aquarium pump 3-5 feet.
NO studies have been done to prove or disprove that EMF exposure can cause an increased risk of other common diseases.
I was only trying to raise awareness to be cautious if you so chose which I feel has been a HUGE mistake on my part.
They are weird fish... My BP tried to burn the house down yesterday...
its not a mistake at all, this is your opinion and research on an open forum. Of course there will be people who disagree with you, its nothing personal by any means. I find the research fascinating to say the least.
I don't care either way honestly, I have 4 aquariums, 3 of which are over 100 gallons, with big ass magnetic pumps in them. I have a wifi router/modem right next to my tv next to my bed, and a computer big enough to block the sun. My microwave and wiring in my house is from the 70's and most likely the shielding isn't anywhere near up to par. I have accepted my fate willingly. I haven't gone to bed impotent at any point so I should be alriiiiiight.
Don't forget the biggest electromagnetic field of all....the one we live in everyday....produced by mother Earth 
That sucker is bigger than anything your puny aquarium pumps can create
