As we travel more after COVID lockdowns, we are resuming travel by all modes. Air, land and sea. All cars, trucks, bus, trains, planes, boats and even motorcycles all create their own dangerous electromagnetic radiation.

Highway Created EMF

What’s more, highways and train tracks typically run alongside power lines, another major source of electromagnetic radiation. These harmful fields can layer, one upon the other, creating a toxic soup of radiation.

Automobiles are full of electronic as well as electrical devices generating toxic electromagnetic fields. The car’s clocks, computers, sensors and more each emit fields. In order to fire a spark plug, the coil voltage soars to nearly 18,000 volts. The alternator and air conditioning create fields. Even the action of your vehicle tires spinning against brake drums and pistons creates tremendous static electricity.

Hybrid Cars Create EMF

The electrical fields are even greater in hybrids, especially at low speeds, because that’s when the car draws on battery power and electric current (as opposed to gasoline combustion for higher speeds). Makes sense, right?

The powerful flow of electric current creates high levels of EMFs with dangerous magnetic fields. What’s more, power cables and batteries are usually situated mid-car, close to the driver and passenger seats.

Testing hybrid cars for electric current can be eye-opening, not to mention alarming. Not only are these fields dangerously strong, but drivers typically spend a great deal of time behind the wheel. Reports of impaired health, most notably elevated blood pressure, are now starting to be evaluated.

EMF from Trains

Most trains are powered by diesel fuel. The EMFs created by diesel engines are significant, and worse near the engine; motors and other equipment can also create alternating fields at higher than 60 HZ frequencies.

Electrically powered trains are an even larger concern, including mass transit solutions (subways, elevated trains and others). For example, stunningly high EMF readings have been taken close to the floor of subway cars: presumably near equipment located underneath. And power lines along the rails can be particularly dangerous, especially on long rides.

Possible Effects

Over exposure to EMF's can cause a number of insidious health issues over time. Sleeping issues. Headaches. And some cancers have been suspected to link with EMF exposures.

EMF Protection Products

Do your research on the products that work the best for you. For travel, take a look at both personal protection and travel products. These are products you can wear, carry in your pocket and use at your destination.
