What we cover and what we don't
This site, and the Helpline, cover power frequencies, not radiofrequencies. We do give some information on radiofrequencies but we don't deal with those on the Helpline.
We cover the UK electricity industry. The railways and some other electric transport systems also produce similar EMFs. This means that much of the material we provide here will be relevant to railways as well. But, sorry, on the Helpline we can't deal with issues that originate from that industry.
