EMF Exposure – Our Ticking Bomb

As our lust for technology grows, so does out exposure to an ever increasing amount of EMF sources. There is a mounting body of evidence available, that shows that all aspects of your health are affected, to a various degree, by this increased exposure. Industry pressure placed on researchers, has silenced the research. The risks are no longer allowed to be investigated, and worse still, EMF levels are omitted on all product specifications.

The effect on children is 6 times greater than adults and yet, we are pushing wireless technology on to younger and younger children.

If you find this disgraceful, read on.

Scope Of The Problem

Here is a bird’s eye view of the most inappropriate device/location options currently being deployed, or promoted. The inappropriateness of location is based on the proximity to the radiation source, while the hazard level is based on the studied damage to body functions and human development.

NOTE: The technology devices listed are all non-ionising radiation sources, originally thought to be harmless (20 years ago). The radiation is a necessary component of technologies, such as Bluetooth (2.4 GHz), WiFi (2.4/5 GHz) and 3G/4G/5G cellphone communication. For normal 2-way communication, there is a RF transmitter built into the both ends of the communication link, so both end point devices should be considered when reviewing the scope of the problem below:

Read This Reference Book First

When researching this subject, I found this excellent reference book, “The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs” written in simple-to-understand language and fully cross-referenced (over 500 citations) including research papers and health studies conducted worldwide.

Here is a summary of the book:

1. The safety standard in most countries are out-of-date and significantly inconsistent with current health observations.
2. Telecommunications company’s have brokered deals to indemnify themselves from health damage due to their installed equipment.
3. Government health authorities are only quoting hand-picked out-of-date studies to justify the general safety claims made for wireless technology use.
4. The level of damage is substantial, varies from person to person, however it is 6 times more significant in children, due to the lower body mass and deeper penetration of signals to vital organs.
5. Rather than accept that there is a tangible health risk that needs further studies, companies stop any research which has shown an unfavourable conclusion.
6. Manufacturers do not have to specify EMF levels of consumer devices. This is the worst form of deception. Simply side-stepping any public scrutiny by not disclosing the technical data.

Where Are We Heading?

The book was written in 2017. When I further researched what was the economical driver for the wide scale deployment of 5G technology, I found these key drivers:

1. Driver-less vehicles
2. Virtual reality devices (the next big thing!)
3. Mass surveillance
4. Internet availability for every person on the planet
5. Digital IDs and Digital Currencies

When you look at this list, you have to ask, which of these things are so important that it has to be implemented at any cost, without considering any health consequences.

Personal Wireless Devices – The New Threats

When you understand that Bluetooth transmission is simply a spread-spectrum radio frequency transmission in the 2.4 GHz – 2.5 GHz range similar to WiFi, you should start to be aware that this type of EMF is as equally damaging to human physiology, as current WiFi transmissions and mobile phone transmissions. The number of Bluetooth devices available now now are skyrocketing. Nearly everything is Bluetooth enabled!

In contrast to WiFi, there are now many Bluetooth enabled devices that can be attached to your body and worse still, inserted in your ears (earpods).

They are in such close proximity to our “essential” services in the body, that they are definitely influencing them. The typical earpod has a field strength, near the antenna, of 7 times what is considered safe in a domestic room. The earpods in particular are only millimetres away from the brain. To make matters worse, they are promoted as safe to wear continuously! (It reminds me of the smoking promotions before cancer was connected to cigarettes.)

Mobile phone RF power levels exceed that of the earpods as they are designed to operate over a larger range and they are not constant. So it would be unfair to suggest that both have the same effect. Damage is cumulative and differs with the different frequencies used. So while studies have shown damage in humans as a result of “prolonged” or “close proximity” use, it is too early tell, what level of damage will occur from these constantly running, very close proximity, products.

Speak Up and Act Now Before It’s Too Late

Personal and Family Protection

The reference book gives a good structured methodology to reduce the risks of exposure for environments that you have control over, such as your personal devices and your house, electrical and WiFi installations.

Get Involved In Your Community

What happens outside your home is a community issue and we all need to act more responsibly by questioning the authorities that are pushing this technology into the extremely area zone by:

• Constructing mobile/cell towers on top of residential buildings.
• Constructing mobile/ccell towers in very close proximity to child care facilities and schools (children are 6 times more prone to harmful effects)
• Deploying massive WiFi implementation in schools, along with the introduction of the requirement that the all children must have wireless devices in order to attend school. (remember, children are 6 times more prone to harmful effects from EMF)

There are organisations worldwide, listed in the end of the book that are worth contacting, either to get more information, or participate by trying to get regulations updated and some common sense re-introduced to the use of these technologies.

Things You Can Do Today

If you have not looked at the book referenced in this article, I will at least suggest things, high impact changes you can implement immediately, to reduce your exposure to this technology.

• Turn off your house general power switch before you go to bed. Then turn it back on first thing in the morning.
• Replace wireless communication like Bluetooth or WiFi with wired ones. Cables and adapators are available for almost all modern products, including smart TVs.
• Get as much physical distance between any wireless device and your body, especially where you sleep. This includes never “wearing” these devices or carrying them in your pockets.
• Dispose of any Bluetooth enabled devices that are inserted in, or near to, your ear canal (earpods). All of the mobile phone manufacturers still offer connections to wired earphones via an adaptor cable that goes into the charging/data port. There is simply no excuse for using these devices!
• If you have a smartwatch, turn off the Bluetooth and WiFi functionality completely while you are wearing it.
• Protect your children as they are so much more vulnerable and simply won’t understand what the cost of convenience is, to their health.
• Turn off the 5G functionality in your mobile phone. If you don’t need to use “data” when you travel, then use on 3G connections for connection to your carrier. In 2023, this still works perfectly in most countries.
• Turn off your mobile phone when you don’t need to use it.
• Remove, or turn off, all electronic devices in your sleeping area. This includes the use of LED lights which include modern switching power-supply regulators.
• Buy a EMF meter and start making changes to your work environment, school, etc. by increasing public awareness.

EMF Measurement Equipment – For Home, Office and School

It is important to understand that is a serious subject and I recommend that you take “scientific” action to validate your own environment. Equipment manufacturers have deliberately omitted important information from you, despite the prevalence of high quality measurement equipment. I have provided two links to hand-held meters that are properly calibrated for use in industrial safety applications. (Occupational Health and Safety in Australia)

Purchasing, or hiring, one of these will ensure that you understand your own environment and with the information in the book referenced above, you can take appropriate action.

If you wish to enlighten the people that that have direct influence on you and your family’s health. It is important that you present them with some concrete measurements yourself. Remember that you can also hire a professional and get an certified report, to support your case. (For example, to get a 5G tower relocated away from your local kindergarten). The professionals are called “Building Biologist” and here is a link to the Australasian Society of Building Biologists. As indicated in the book, these professionals should be accessible in all countries.
