Precautionary Reduction of Electrosmog
There has been a growing nationwide concern regarding EMF and other types of electrosmog radiation exposure. Although this problem is garnering interest and attention from authoritative entities, public awareness on how to reduce electrosmog is not widely known. Therefore, certain initiatives must be undertaken in order to limit exposure to harmful electromagnetic fields.
Determining and Avoiding Electrosmog Radiation
There are many electrical and electronic products and devices emitting potentially harmful radiation. Outside, the biggest culprits are large power lines, cellular towers and transformers. Avoiding these locations is recommended whenever possible. Many people are measuring EMF radiation inside the home through the use of a Gauss meter, especially on appliances that are operating. Typically, the highest readings come from televisions, wireless routers, computers and microwaves. Therefore, the basic recommendation is to have limited contact with these devices despite the inconvenience.
Other Potential Radiation Sources
Any type of cordless appliance such as an electric toothbrush or razor will produce EMF radiation. Other lesser-known sources include three-way switches and light dimmers. Electric blankets and water beds use a continuous flow of electrical current and must be completely avoided to eliminate radiation exposure. When sleeping, any electrical device should be at least six feet away to ensure a minimal amount of exposure.
Electrosmog Solutions
Today’s rapidly growing technologies are providing many effective electromagnetic field protection solutions. These radiation protection products range from ADR mats to cell phone radiation and EMF shields. Electromagnetic mats are commonly used in homes and offices near computers to minimize radiation risk. It’s predicted that the ADR protection industry will continue to grow as public awareness becomes more widespread.
