Will greenwave dirty electricity filters work on European system of 50 hz 240 volt?

This is bound to raise some controversy, but I think 'dirty electricity' is, to use a technical term, bogus - or at the very least, that what has been termed 'dirty electricity' can harm you. Electricity is not "dirty", and saying it is or can be is a convenient way to say that there is something "wrong" with it. It is being said that the human central nervous system may meet with electrical waveforms that have similarities to its own that it can cause interference, that is, pain, irritation or worse. Any system that allows AC (Alternating Current) or Magnetic Fields has "dirty" or "noisy" characteristics, even if it is an absolutely smooth waveform. Electrical "Dirt" is just "Noise", and is just a feature of the electrical system that has been in existence since its inception. Buying some gimmicky "filters" will not "harmonize" your living space with or from it. Please see the two links below.
