Electromagnetic pollution is called excessive exposure to radiation from electromagnetic fields, which can be produced by different electronic devices, it is called pollution because there are theories that certain types of electromagnetic spectra can be harmful to people. living beings, however this has not yet been proven, which has been the subject of a variety of debates and controversies. However, there are electromagnetic fields that, because they concentrate too much radiation, are harmful to health, caused by thermal damage that can cause an example of this is the microwave oven.
The creation of innovative technology, without a previous study on the effects that this can have on the health of living beings and the environment itself, has caused new risks to the environment and living beings in general. Currently the environment is under a large number of electromagnetic fields of artificial origin, created by tools such as the telephone, radios, televisions, power lines, among others. For this reason, today it is practically impossible to escape from this type of contamination, since wherever you are, you will most likely be immersed in some field.electromagnetic, such exposure can occur in places of daily frequency, such as people's homes, schools, work, in the street, a park, hospitals, even if you are far from civilization it is very likely that the electromagnetic waves can reach that site, since the creation of mobile phones such pollution can reach almost anywhere on the planet.
Another type of electromagnetic field is of natural origin, these are formed by the accumulation of electrical charge in the earth's atmosphere, which is related to electrical storms, one of the effects that this field can cause is the effect it causes on the compasses making them point north, this tool has been used by humans for many years, allowing them to orient themselves.
