Data Centers & EMF Radiation

Data Centers & EMF Radiation

Written By August Brice

There are a lot of things to be concerned about when it comes to the data centers popping up across the country. Stress on the power grid, water usage and sound. But one thing that people aren't talking about is the elevated EMF levels that new data centers will produce.

Many plan to have wireless EMF - like the kind from 5G towers -  and of course there will be big electrical infrastructure. More power from transformers, but also substations, switch gears and high voltage power lines (the big one!s) will go for hundreds of miles here in Texas across places they have never been before. I’m sad to say- this exposure can and will make some of us sick.  

The huge amounts of data that will be processed in these data centers will be ntegrated into the Internet and the communications infrastructure.While some centers plan to use  fiber optic or wired connections to the communications grid, some will not.

More Wireless EMF Spewing Into The Air From Data Centers


In many many cases what will happen is that the data or the  information that the data center generates will be  transmitted wirelessly to the communications grid. Those Information Carrying Radio Waves or Data Carrying Radio Waves are bioactive .

That means they have an effect on our bodies!  Negative, adverse effects to our health. Negative effects to our environment.

Dr. George Carlo points out that wireless information carrying radio waves are  also the primary trigger for communications interference.  Oh my! When there is interference, transceivers turn up the power density to overcome the interference.  What that means is actually  more aggressive exposures and greater penetration into all biological systems including people.

Let's not miss the point that Data Centers are just more sources of EMF.  Think of them as more celltowers, more 5G. 

When you're upset about the idea of a data center in your community, make sure you let  city council, lawmakers, friends and neighbors know these data centers should ONLY be using wired, fiber optic connections.  We don't need more wireless signals or EMF in the environment. 


This is why I urge you to join me and the work of the National Call For Safe Technology.  When you sign up for their email or send a donation, you're supporting work that goes straight to Washington DC to addresss bills and potential new laws. 

We need to be serious about data centers and the AI they breed. 


Since this will impact our health and the environment and our security, we need legislation at both the state and federal levels that addresses the full picture -- serious enforcement of newly informed safety standards, environmental standards and guardrails so that growth and expansion are in the hands of those who are impacted most -- the people. 

I recently visited a very small data center to measure some of this EMF.  This video shows just  one small but important example of a type called ELF- magnetic fields.  In two different areas around this little micro data center we found readings went up by 2 millligauss - from the electronics at this small older center. Further from the center but at the same apartments backing up to it, we saw just a fraction-.5 ! Studies show  exposure of 4 milligauss linking to central nervous system tumors and childhood leukemia . Here Environmental Health Sciences detail the health issues associated with that Magnetic EMF I found.  

“Several decades of scientific research have examined health effects associated with long-term exposure to elevated ELF-EMF  magnetic fields and the majority has found effects. Peer-reviewed studies have reported cancer, miscarriage, and increased Alzheimer’s. Epidemiological studies have consistently found associations between chronic residential exposure to power line magnetic field EMFs and an increased risk of childhood leukemia. 

However, industry and international guidelines for ELF EMF  primarily address short-term, acute effects (such as nerve stimulation), and are set far above the exposure levels associated with childhood cancer in long-term epidemiological studies. In 2001, the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) determined that ELF-EMF magnetic fields are “possibly carcinogenic” to humans, prompting several countries to implement policies to reduce children’s exposure.”
