Safety

An increase in high-power inductive charging devices has led to researchers looking into the safety factor of the electromagnetic fields (EMF) put off by larger inductor coils. With the recent interest in the expansion of high power inductive charging with electric cars, an increase in health and safety concerns has arisen. To provide a larger distance of coverage you would in return need a larger coil for your inductor. An electric car with this size conductor would need about 300 kW of energy from a 400 V battery to emit enough charge. With this much exposure to the skin of a human could prove harmful if not met within the right conditions. New technology in the medical field have been moving into the wireless charging aspect, but some wireless charging that has to do with ionization radiation can be harmful. These EMFs affect a human's own EMF and can have conflicting effects on one another.

Testing has been done on how organs can be affected by these fields when put under low levels of frequency from these fields. When exposed to various levels of frequencies you can experience dizziness, light flashes, or tingling through nerves. At higher ranges, you can experience heating or even burning of the skin. Most people experience low EMF in everyday life but higher fields in a more frequent place like a garage with an inductive charger for your electrical car or even medical equipment can be dangerous if not modified.
