Greenwave products quiet the electrical noise and create healthier living spaces. Learn more about the four types of EMF pollution here.
Dirty Electricity
Dirty electricity (a.k.a. dirty power, electrical noise, line noise, power line EMI) refers to spikes and surges of electrical energy traveling along power lines and building wiring where only standard 50/60-Hertz AC electricity should be. This type of EMF pollution is created by many modern electronics, appliances, and lighting solutions that must change or manipulate standard electrical current in one way or another in order to operate. Once created, dirty electricity circulates throughout buildings, and even between buildings via wiring, power lines, and other means.
Wireless Radiation
Wireless radiation refers to the electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by equipment and devices that send and receive information wirelessly. This type of EMF pollution has increased dramatically in recent years as cordless phones, smart phones, tablet computers, WiFi and Mi-MAX networks, and a myriad of other wireless devices have become popular in homes, schools, and businesses. All of these devices send information through the air rather than wires, creating a “cloud” of artificial electromagnetic energy around us.
AC Electric Fields (ELF)
Power frequency AC electric fields are the extremely low frequency electric fields emitted by items that distribute or use standard 50/60 Hz AC (alternating current) electricity. These fields are produced by VOLTAGE, which is the force or pressure that helps push electrical current through power lines, wires (circuits), cords, etc. They are present even when electrical current is NOT flowing. For example, a lamp cord that is plugged into an outlet will emit an electric field even when the lamp is turned off. The electric fields will go away only after the lamp cord is unplugged.
AC Magnetic Fields (ELF)
Power frequency AC magnetic fields are the extremely low frequency magnetic fields emitted by items that distribute or use standard 50/60 Hz AC (alternating current) electricity. These fields are produced by the FLOW of ELECTRICAL CURRENT. Unlike AC electric fields, they are present only when current is actually flowing. For example, a hair dryer that is plugged into an outlet and turned ON will emit both AC electric and magnetic fields. When the hair dryer is switched off, current flow to the dryer stops, and the magnetic field goes away. The electric field, which is caused by voltage rather than current flow, will remain until the hair dryer is unplugged from the outlet.

Guide to Dirty Electricity
Want to learn more about dirty electricity? Our complimentary Guide to Dirty Electricity helps explain what dirty electricity is, how it’s created, common sources, potential health effects, and tips for measuring and reducing this particular type of EMF pollution in homes and other settings.
“The EMF Package”
Did you miss this year’s summit focused on the Hidden Epidemic of Electro-Sensitivity? Hosted by Nick Pineault (The EMF Guy), the summit featured interviews with 20 leading experts from around the world. It provided a great opportunity to learn about electro-sensitivity, the dangers of EMF pollution, and strategies for protecting yourself.
Great news! It’s not too late to enjoy the 2024 summit content! With “The EMF PACKAGE,” you can get immediate access to all video replays, audio recordings, transcripts, and more.
December 27, 2022 – It has come to our attention recently that plug-in dirty electricity filters that utilize capacitive technology, such as Greenwave filters, may be incompatible with generators used to power homes and other buildings during electrical outages and/or at other times. We are currently investigating this issue. Out of an abundance of caution, if you have a generator, we strongly advise that you UNPLUG Greenwave filters when the generator is running or operating to avoid possible damage to your generator, filters, equipment, appliances, and systems in your environment. You can plug the filters back into your electrical outlets when your home or building has returned to grid-supplied power and your generator is no longer operating.
