There are other additional forms of radiation but these are the most common. This form of radiation is not the same as...

Electricity is simply the flow of electrons. This can occur over a high power transmission line or through wiring in the home or office. Whenever electricity passes through a wire two fields of force are created. One is an electrical field and the other is a magnetic field. In the United States electrical current reverses direction 60 times each second and thus is called alternating current, or AC. The cycles of current are measured in a unit called Hertz (Hz) so named for the German...

The researchers...

Studies have also shown that electromagnetic radiation inhibits the production of a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin regulates the sleep cycle and is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. It is produced about 90 minutes after falling asleep. Consequently, melatonin levels rise at night and remain low during the day. Melatonin has many useful effects but the most common is that of regulating the sleep cycle. When cell phone radiation, or other EMR, inhibits this important hormone...
