We should still discourage children from sitting or standing - [Substation Health Risks](https://emwatch.com/substation-emf-risk-factors/) - Substations emit a low-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EMR) which creates an electromagnetic field (EMF). This EMF has two components, an electric field and a magnetic field. Don't worry too much about the electric field. It lacks power to penetrate the substation walls. But the magnetic field goes right through bricks, concrete, or a human body. It - [Six EMF Protection Tips](https://emwatch.com/emf-protection/) - Protect yourself and loved ones from unwanted electromagnetic fields (EMF).
