A series of health effects, associated with dirty electricity (power line EMI), has been recognized in several scientific studies. Dirty electricity exists everywhere.  Some levels of dirty electricity are found in almost every building. Wherever electronics like computers, battery chargers, Wi-Fi, TVs, game consoles, compact fluorescent lighting or solar panels operate the electrical circuits are likely radiating dirty electricity. What Causes dirty electricity? Dirty electricity is an erratic form of electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is generated by electronic devices, as they operate. The problem is that most modern electronics operate on direct current (DC) at around 12 volts, while electrical circuits convey electric
