Which electric and magnetic fields are produced by domestic appliances?

When operated domestic appliances are emitting low frequency electric and magnetic fields into their surrounding. They emit predominantly 50 Hz fields, which is the frequency of power supply. Field strengths are generally low and decrease rapidly with increasing distance.

People with active body aids (as, e.g., pacemakers) are recommended to ask their doctor if their body aids are likely to be influenced by the electric and magnetic fields produced by domestic appliances.
