Re: Article: EMF Risk in Hybrids
What a crock. Batteries store in DC. All the high voltage componets are DC. DC doesn't create a sustainable EMF. It's gotta be converted into AC, and that happens up in the engine compartment.
Any driver is still going to be exposed to EMF in a car from all the computer stuff, but I'd be willing to bet a hybrid has similar fields as a regular car. In fact, Toyta was quoted in the article:
In a statement, Toyota said: “The measured electromagnetic fields inside and outside of Toyota hybrid vehicles in the 50 to 60 hertz range are at the same low levels as conventional gasoline vehicles. Therefore there are no additional health risks to drivers, passengers or bystanders.”
I'd be more concerned with microwave frequency cell phones modulating my brain like microwave popcorn.
Interestingly, Toyota does warn pacemaker users about the keyless door entry system.
Not just Super White...Super Duper White...
