Dirty electricity refers to the electrical pollution that is created when electronic devices and appliances produce an irregular or distorted flow of electricity. This can happen when devices are turned on or off, or when they are used on a low setting.
Some studies have shown that exposure to dirty electricity may have negative effects on human health, including headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. There is also concern that dirty electricity may contribute to certain health conditions, such as cancer and neurological disorders.
Dirty electricity is measured in units called "milligauss" (mG). This unit measures the strength of the magnetic field produced by electronic devices and appliances. A higher milligauss reading indicates a higher level of dirty electricity.
Common sources of dirty electricity include electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and cell phones, as well as household appliances like refrigerators and microwaves. It can also be created by power lines and electrical wiring in buildings.
One way to reduce exposure to dirty electricity is to limit the use of electronic devices and appliances, especially those that produce high levels of dirty electricity. Installing filters on electrical outlets can also help to reduce the amount of dirty electricity in a building. Additionally, choosing energy-efficient appliances and using grounding techniques may also help to reduce exposure.
