What about electromagnetic emissions?
There has been recent public discussion of the possible health effects of prolonged exposure to
extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic fields. Such fields are
associated with electromagnetic sources such as television sets, electrical wiring, and some household
appliances—as well as computer monitors.
Apple has reviewed scientific reports and sought the counsel of government regulatory agencies and
respected health organizations. Based on the prevailing evidence and opinions, Apple believes that the
electric and magnetic fields produced by computer monitors do not pose a health risk.
In response to those customers who wish to reduce their exposure to electromagnetic fields, Apple has
lowered the emission levels of our products. We are also actively encouraging further scientific research
so we can continue to promote the health and safety of our customers and employees.
