What is the EMF associated with the Heartland Project?
The Heartland Project Team recognizes that some people are concerned about EMF and we treat those concerns very seriously. The Heartland Team is guided by EMF research that is compiled and reviewed by national and international health agencies, including Health Canada and the World Health Organization. The Heartland team provides information to people who have questions to keep them informed about the status of EMF research and typical levels of EMF from various sources. EMF from power lines is referred to as “extremely low frequency” (ELF) electric and magnetic fields. After more than 30 years of research that includes thousands of studies and numerous reviews by health agencies, Health Canada and the World Health Organization have not concluded that exposure to extremely low frequency EMF at levels associated with power lines cause any long-term adverse affect on human, plant or animal health.
