Take the EMF Test

Want to check your understanding of electromagnetic field/radiofrequency (EMF-RF) radiation and its impact on our health and safety?

Take the short quiz below and find out more.

1) It has been referred to as an “uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind”.

  1. Lead
  2. Asbestos
  3. DDT
  4. Pesticides
  5. Electromagnetic/Radiofrequency Radiation (EMF-RF)
Show the answer

Electromagnetic/Radiofrequency Radiation (EMF-RF)

2) Sources of EMF-RF radiation are

  1. Active wireless connections and devices
  2. Mobile and smart phone devices
  3. Microwaves
  4. Cordless phones
  5. All of the above
Show the answer

All of the above

3) Exposure to EMF-RF radiation is associated with

  1. Cancers including brain tumours, leukemia and breast cancer
  2. Autism, behavioural and neural disorders
  3. Infertility and fetal damage
  4. Alzheimer’s disease
  5. All of the above
Show the answer

All of the above

4) Children are most vulnerable to the hazardous effects of EMF-RF radiation due to

  1. Thinner skulls resulting in greater penetration
  2. Rapid growth and development
  3. Smaller body mass
  4. Involuntary exposure (i.e. inability to control exposure)
  5. All of the above
Show the answer

All of the above

5) In 2011 EMF-RF fields are now considered as possibly carcinogenic to humans by:

  1. The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
  2. A number of governments and parliaments
  3. Many Scientists and Doctors across the globe
  4. None of the above
  5. All of the above
Show the answer

All of the above

6) Most current standards and limits on EMF-RF radiation relate the ‘thermal effects’ but the ‘non-thermal effects’ are

  1. Potentially equally dangerous and currently regulated
  2. Potentially more dangerous and currently regulated
  3. Potentially equally dangerous and currently unregulated
  4. Potentially more dangerous and currently unregulated
  5. None of the above
Show the answer

Potentially more dangerous and currently unregulated

7) EMF-RF radiation (from wi-fi & wireless devices including mobile phones) are potentially more dangerous to us than cigarettes because

  1. The extent of ‘second-hand’ exposure from sources around us is far more widespread and continual
  2. Smoking areas are limited and restricted but EMF-RF radiation is everywhere and unrestricted
  3. The ‘intangible’ nature of radiation means that people do not sense its presence and so tend to underestimate (or fail to consider) this threat
  4. The general population is aware of the potential risks of exposure, particularly for more vulnerable segments (children, foetuses, etc.)
  5. All of the above
Show the answer

All of the above
