Electromagnetic Fields in Dental Clinics |Biomedgrid

The human body has been exposed to the electromagnetic field (EMF) for thousands of years. The most significant causes of this exposure are natural resources such as the sun, earth's core, and lightning. However, with the technology and power tools that we have developed in the last century, the EMF has entered our lives at a rate far higher than we can imagine. These devices may seem safe and harmless, but they have some effects and interactions that we cannot see through the human eye or fully perceive with our other senses. The EMF emitted by these tools has become undeniable and indispensable parts of our lives. Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) have been making arrangements and studies for years about electrical appliances and EMFs. These institutions provide limitations and recommendations about devices that may impact human life and use these devices. The EMF is defined by WHO as follows; When an outlet-mounted device is turned on, an electric current pass through it and creates an electromagnetic field in proportion to the power of the given electric supply. The magnetic field is very close to the electrical device, and it weakens as it moves away from the device. It is not clear how the mechanism of action of electromagnetic fields works.
