Not the man made kind, which are different from natural sources and greatly increase the background EM fields we live in.

EM radiation is defined by it's wavelength and amplitude. Whether it is from a 'natural' source is completely irrelevant in terms of the effect it has.

I guess humans have changed the mix of wavelength we are exposed to a bit. E.g. more RF radiation from phones and base stations. But I'm not sure how significant those changes are in the overall 'background EM fields we live in'.
