Welcome to Powerwatch

Powerwatch is a non-profit independent organisation with a central role in the UK Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Radiation health debate. We work closely with decision-makers in government and business, and with other like-minded groups, promoting policies for a safer environment.

We have been researching electromagnetic field effects on health for the last 20 years, and provide a range of information to help the general public understand this complex issue.

If you feel that the work we do is worthwhile, and would like to support our efforts, please consider taking out a Powerwatch subscription. This helps financially support the time we spend keeping on top of current EMF issues and providing the information that we do. In return, you get full access to our publications and material that has come from years of research and put into a clear, easy to understand format. To see a full list including a description of what is in the subscription section, please have a look through our document library. A subscription also entitles you to ask specific questions on the subscriber forum that enable you to have expert feedback for no extra cost.

Powerwatch started in 1988 as an EMF information service. Many enquirers asked us to supply meters and screening materials. EMFields was created to supply quality measurement equipment, tested screening products and Powerwatch subscription service.
