This 3-hour interactive online course is an overview of the current science regarding the potential health impacts of 60 Hz Electromagnetic Fields. It reviews the relevant electric and magnetic properties involved in generating electric and magnetic fields. Also, the sources of EMF exposure are discussed as well as the methods to mitigate potential exposure to EMF. The methods of analyzing EMF are discussed including reviews of the significant EMF studies.

There is a test included at the end of each section of this course. 

Course Objectives
