They are not a form of radiation, and are fundamentally different, in their physical nature and in the way they interact with the body, from true electromagnetic radiation, In recent years there has been concern that these fields may have effects on health. Despite extensive research, it is still unclear whether the fields pose any health risks. However, if there are risks, the results obtained do show that they must be small
