In today’s technological society, it’s important to be aware of the risks in the environment, as well as in our own homes. While it’s easy to protect against physical elements, such as rain or heat, other threats are not as easy to defend.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) consist of charged particles moving in waves around an electrical object, such as a telephone or laptop, transmitting a signal through space in order for the device to work. The energy emitted from these fields is referred to as radiation.

Talking on the phone or surfing the Internet may seem harmless, but with an increasing amount of signals coming through the walls, more and more radiation surrounds our everyday devices, inadvertently threatening our health. EMF protection methods and shields secure people’s health and give them peace of mind while checking their email, watching the tube or microwaving popcorn.

The first method of EMF protection is distance. By increasing distance from an electrical object, it lessens an individual’s contact with electromagnetic fields. For example, when using a cell phone, it is best to text or use speakerphone when calling instead of placing the phone next to your ear. The same goes with storing a phone when not in use; do not keep it in your pocket, but rather in a purse or backpack while travelling. Better yet, store the phone completely away when not in use to decrease exposure to EMFs.

Computers and laptops are surrounded by unhealthy radiation. It is highly recommended to place a laptop on a desk or away from the skin to avoid any direct contact with your body. Heat and radiation are an especially dangerous combination for laptop users. EMF protection also comes in the form of laptop shields, which allows the user to operate their device, but have a shield protecting their lap in the process.

In summary, increasing the distance between yourself and an electrical device is a practical and easy way to preserve your health.

Another method of EMF protection is to use newer energy efficient devices because older appliances, televisions and computers tend to be energy inefficient and dispel more radiation as a result. Investing in grounded devices also protects you from EMFs because wireless signals require more energy to transmit a signal as opposed to a landline telephone, wired printer or dial up Internet.

A sure-fire way to decrease radiation exposure is to limit use of electronic devices by unplugging hair dryers, lamps, televisions and gaming systems when not in use. Simply turning off objects or using one device at a time lessens exposure to radiation and provides EMF protection. Though it is impossible to completely avoid the presence of low frequency radiation around technology, there are ways to minimize its impact on our health.

By increasing distance, lessening use and investing in grounded wiring systems, a homeowner can feel at ease with their proactive approach to EMF protection. Additionally, purchasing a laptop shielding device from a reputable company can provide further defense against invisible computer EMFs.
