  • Human risk remains low for now, despite isolated cases and a few fatalities in the US.
  • Experts urge strong biosecurity and international information sharing to prevent further spread.
  • Migratory birds are blamed for spreading the virus across continents and farms.
  • Outbreaks have reached multiple continents, including remote territories like Heard Island.

Don't worry – EVs aren't close to being an 'electrosmog' health risk, experts say

https://www.techradar.com/vehicle-tech/hybrid-electric-vehicles/no-evs-arent-an-electrosmog-health-risk-experts-say-with-some-petrol-cars-performing-even-worse
Techradar.com
  • ADAC tests 11 electric vehicles and finds EMF exposure well within safety limits during both driving and charging.
  • Any elevated readings occurred mainly in the footwell and did not approach sensitive areas or safety limits.
  • Faster DC charging does not increase EMF risk, with all charging sessions within guidelines.
  • China’s CATARC research also indicates EVs operate at very low radiation exposure.
  • The ADAC study used dummies to measure potential radiation exposure inside the vehicle.
  • Heated seats showed higher readings but remained under safety thresholds.
  • EMF findings suggest no increased risk from EVs for occupants.
  • Study corroborates earlier safety assessments from European agencies.
  • ADAC findings align with broader industry research on EV safety.
  • Key takeaway: there is no significant health risk from EVs due to EMF exposure.
