Pollution Needs Awareness

Formaldehyde And Electromagnetic Pollution In the Home

Often foam rubber and synthetic materials found in couches, chairs, mattresses and pillows are items we are exposed to for long periods of time and can drain our energy. These items often contain formaldehyde. One third of every day could be spent on a mattress or pillow made of foam.

Plastic items, such as baggies, ice box containers, mattress and pillow covers, baby mattresses and covers and especially water- beds are items often made from formaldehyde resins or liquid.

Fluorescent and halogen lighting emit EMFs. Fluorescent lighting transformers produce high voltage radiation. Most all kitchen electric appliances including, but not limited to microwaves (on or off), electric stoves, grills, convection ovens, blenders and mixers emit high levels of radiation.

    You are making a bunch of statements like they are fact. I refer specifically to your comments about EMF radiation from the wiring in our homes and electrical appliances. They do indeed emit EMF waves but unfortunately your knowledge on this subject is obviously severely limited as such waves are not emitted with any meaningful power, ie. nearly zero, beyond a few centimeters radius from the wire the current is going through. Also, your comments on fluorescent lighting using high voltages shows equal ignorance, as the strength of EMF radiation is directly proportional to the current going through the fixture and not the voltage (in fact, voltage has no bearing on the strength of EMF radiation). These are actual scientific facts that any high school student should know.
