EMF (electro-magnetic fields) are created by anything carrying
electrical current - most notably high tension power lines. There is
some non-conclusive evidence that there may be health risks associated
with long-term exposure to EMF.
Luckily, the intensity of the EMF depends on the closeness of the power
source. Careful measurements often demonstrate that the EMF created in a
home by an electric stove is greater than the EMF created by overhead
power lines on the adjoining property.
Measurements can be taken on your behalf if this issue concerns you. The
power company sometimes will do this as a free service.
