Where does the emf radiation from an elliptical come from? Just the console? I just read an article about dirty "electric pollution," and I was wondering.

An elliptical machine, shown in this link:berkeman said:An elliptical what?
What's dirty electricity? Honestly, you need to provide a *lot* more information if you want to get good replies...fangrz said:An elliptical machine, shown in this link:

I am wondering where "dirty electricity" is emitted from.
Dirty electricity refers to emf radiation. I read about it in this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18568931berkeman said:What's dirty electricity? Honestly, you need to provide a *lot* more information if you want to get good replies...
Interesting. I'm very skeptical about that article and the first one on the associated articles list, and will look into it further.fangrz said:Dirty electricity refers to emf radiation. I read about it in this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18568931
Yes, please let me know! I am concerned about using the elliptical at the gym. I have heard that "Argenmesh" can block radiation (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DXBFYQ/?tag=pfamazon01-20). Some people have reported that they cannot receive phone calls from their cell phone when using Argenmesh to wrap it. I was wondering: if I shielded the elliptical console with Argenmesh, would it be okay to use without EMI?berkeman said:Interesting.

To answer your question, they are referring to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) generated by many electronic devices. There are government regulations in most countries that limit the levels of EMI that can be radiated by commercial devices. In the USA, the FCC is the government agency that is responsible for the regulations and enforcement of EMI.
The article implies a hypersensitivity to EMI by some individuals, which I find hard to believe. As I said, I will look into this more...

I don't think there is anything special about the elliptical exercise machine -- I think they are referring to EMI in general.fangrz said:Yes, please let me know!

EMF radiation stands for electromagnetic field radiation, which is a type of energy that is emitted from electronic devices and power sources. It is a form of non-ionizing radiation that is present in our everyday environment.
An elliptical is a type of exercise equipment that mimics the motion of walking or running without putting stress on the joints. It consists of two pedals and two handles that move in a circular motion.
The emf radiation from an elliptical comes from the electrical components and wiring within the machine. These components produce an electromagnetic field as they operate, which results in the emission of emf radiation.
The level of emf radiation emitted from an elliptical is considered to be low and is not known to cause any harm to the user. However, it is always recommended to limit exposure to emf radiation as much as possible.
To reduce your exposure to emf radiation from an elliptical, you can try placing the machine in a well-ventilated area and at a safe distance from other electronic devices. You can also limit your use of the elliptical and take breaks in between workouts.
