About Hydro One Networks

Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are found everywhere electricity is used and come from home appliances, computers, office equipment, wiring in our homes and workplaces, and electric power facilities such as substations and transmission & distribution lines. For more than 30 years, research studies have examined questions about EMFs and health. Health agencies and a large number of reputable scientific organizations around the world have concluded that the scientific research does not demonstrate that EMFs cause or contribute to adverse health effects. Some scientific questions remain the subject of ongoing research.

The material and links on this page are provided for convenient access to sources of information about EMFs. Other sources of information are available. By providing these links, Hydro One Networks Inc. is not necessarily endorsing any organization or the content of their material.
