The California Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) Program was a research, education, and technical assistance program concerned with the possible health effects of electric and magnetic fields from powerlines, appliances, and other uses of electricity. Our goal was to find a rational and fair approach to deal with the potential risks, if any, of exposure to EMF. We do this through research, policy analysis, and education. Please note that funding for the EMF Program ended in the mid-2000s; the Program no longer exists. Materials developed under the auspices of the EMF Program are provided here for historical reference only.
