  About EMF & EMX BioProtection
EMFs significantly change the activity of the important growth enzyme ODC (also related to cancer), making the availability of the enzyme inappropriate at critical stages in the development of the embryos.
EMFs have been observed by the scientists at UW to cause a change in the function of the brain.
There is laboratory evidence that EMFs significantly change the activity of important enzymes related to growth and development of nerve and brain tissue and cancer cells, causing changes in metabolism and cell proliferation which may lead to cancer or fetal abnormalities.

 About EMF   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
EMF's startup and the formation and early growth of its programs, focused primarily on the dissemination of information and materials, was supported by donations from more than 750 individuals, organizations, and corporations throughout the world.
EMF's financial strategy has been based on the aggregate effect of interactions between several diverse and independent programs, each of which supports EMF's mission from a different perspective, each with its own financial plan, and each contributing to the Foundation's needs as a whole.
EMF's longterm plan has been to support its daily operations with income earned from services, sponsorships, and distribution of CDs, books, and software; to generate growth capital and underwrite shortfalls through individual contributions; and to seek foundation and government funding and corporate sponsorships to support EMF Productions and The EMF Institute.

 Electric voltage
The emf represents energy per unit charge (voltage) which has been made available by the generating mechanism and is not a "force".
It is useful to distinguish voltages which are generated from the voltage changes which occur in a circuit as a result of energy dissipation, e.g., in a resistor.
This motional emf is one of many settings in which the generated emf is described by Faraday's Law.

EMF refers to electric and magnetic fields which are invisible lines of force that surround any electrical device, such as a power line, electrical wiring, or an operating appliance.
While there is currently no "safe" level determined for EMF, people may obtain measurements in their home and use information about typical magnetic field exposures to determine if their exposures are likely to be higher than, comparable to, or lower than the levels in other residential settings.
EMF research is continuing in the US and abroad, as new methods for studies are developed to improve exposure assessment; to control for confounding and other types of bias; and to investigate possible biological mechanisms.

 Eclipse Tools - EMF Home
EMF is a modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model.
From a model specification described in XMI, EMF provides tools and runtime support to produce a set of Java classes for the model, a set of adapter classes that enable viewing and command-based editing of the model, and a basic editor.
EMF - The core EMF framework includes a meta model (Ecore) for describing models and runtime support for the models including change notification, persistence support with default XMI serialization, and a very efficient reflective API for manipulating EMF objects generically.

EMF exposure is measured with a gaussmeter in units of milligauss (mG).
Since most environmental EMF exposures involve magnetic field intensities that are only a fraction of a tesla or a gauss, these are commonly measured in units of microteslas (µT) or milligauss (mG).
