EMF Test Meters, Shielding Materials Sometimes a
neighborhood power line will emit very strong EMFs, while a similar power line
elsewhere will emit almost nothing. And for most people,
the strongest source of EMFs will be from hidden electrical wiring in nearby walls, floors and ceilings
(especially in the bedroom during sleep). Another common but unexpected
source is from stray electricity in water pipes.
One of the fastest growing EMF exposures in recent years is from RF (radio frequency) radiation from sources such as cell towers — many of which are hidden from view. And much of the RF exposure comes from our own stuff: our own cell phones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi and wireless devices. Sometimes people don't realize that their computer or router is actually wireless, and even if it is hard-wired or they think the wireless is turned off, sometimes it still emits high EMFs. And for many cordless phones, the base cradles emit RF fields all the time (even when the phone is not in use). You have to test to be sure.
Once you know the levels and sources of the EMFs, then you can begin to reduce your exposures. For example, you can rearrange your home to avoid the highest EMF locations, and place your beds, couches and chairs in the lowest exposure areas. There are the three general approaches to reducing EMFs, listed here in descending order of effectiveness... Priority #1. Don't use it! Remove it. Unplug it. Turn it off. Find a non-EMF alternative. Nothing reduces an EMF exposure better than to simply not emit the field in the first place. This may be especially important in the bedroom, where people spend a third of their life time. Priority #2. Increase distance from sources! The sources will become more obvious when you test with a meter. Use the test meter to determine exactly how far you need to back away from the source to get out of its field. Rearrange your environment accordingly. Priority #3. Install shielding! In general, shielding is your last resort, because it is usually not as effective as simply turning off the source or increasing your distance from it. When needed, we provide shielding materials, as well as consultations to help you install it properly. This is important, because improper shield placement can actually increase the fields. We recommend that you use a test meter to verify that your shielding has actually reduced the levels.
