Did you know...?

Cancers caused by radiation do not appear until years after the radiation exposure.
The older your appliances, the greater the risk, as more EMFs are emitted.
You should limit the time you spend around your home’s electrical appliances.
High EMFs can cause a range of health problems, from fatigue and anxiety to brain tumors to chronic diseases like cancer.
Some people are more likely to develop cancer from radiation exposure than others.
The higher the radiation dose, the greater the chance of developing cancer.

EPA EMF Information

EMF Home Protection - Protect Your House from EMF

Electrical appliances produce toxic electromagnetic fields (EMFs). These fields can layer, one upon the other, creating a harmful soup of radiation. That’s why the kitchen is a hotspot for harmful EMFs…but other rooms are affected, too.

High EMFs can cause a range of health problems and side effects, from fatigue and anxiety to brain tumors to chronic diseases like cancer.

Electrical fields, intertwined with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that can be shielded.

Magnetic fields are the part of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that penetrate concrete, steel and human bodies. (Which is why they’re great for x-rays!) Unfortunately, they can have serious health implications.

How to get protection from EMF pollution produced by household appliances.

• For safety, the EPA recommends you limit your magnetic field exposure to .5 mG to 2.5mG.

Some Protection

Purchase new appliances. The older your appliances, the greater the risk, as more EMFs are emitted.

More Protection

Keep your distance! EMFs are strongest at 2-3 feet or closer.

Limit the time you spend around your home’s electrical appliances.

Place all clocks, cell phones, cordless phones and other electrical devices at least 6 feet from where you sleep.

What does EMF stand for?

EMF stands for electromagnetic fields, which are invisible electrical and magnetic forces. Everything generates an electromagnetic field. The natural earth creates one, and so does the human body. You create an EMF of about 10 hertz.

Artificial electromagnetic fields are caused by human activities and technologies (from appliances to cell phones to high voltage wires). These EMFs have been shown to cause biological stress. (See EMF and health Problems for more.)

Too much EMF radiation… What are some EMF side effects ?

• Studies have shown EMF exposure above 2 mG will start to develop biological stress.
• Evidence links prolonged exposure to levels between 2 and 12 mG+ with cancer and possible immune system effects.
• Exposure to 12 mG suppresses the human hormone melatonin (critical for sleep, mood regulation, and overall health)

EMF Danger Spots In Your Home

Circuit Breaker

These produce very high toxic readings, into radio wave frequencies and even microwave frequencies. This is because the electric wires attach to a fuse box draws a lot of electricity

Air Conditioners

Air conditioners can emit EMFs as high as circuit breakers. The older the unit, the greater the dangerous EMF radiation.

In-Floor Electrical Heating

This mode of heating utilizes electrical wires that are embedded right into a home’s wood or concrete flooring. EMFs can reach 100+ mG at the floor and 30+ mG at waist height.

Fluorescent Lighting

Fluorescent lights create a higher level of EMFs than incandescent bulbs. A typical fluorescent tube may have a reading of 160 to 200 mG at 1 inch away. Even electromagnetic radiation from a compact fluorescent light can be problematic.

Halogen ceiling down or “can” lights

These lights require a transformer that can transmit EMF upward as well as downward, which means rooms above as well as below are affected.

Electric Sockets

Anything that’s plugged into a wall socket gives off an electromagnetic field (EMF) of 50-60 hertz, even if that appliance is turned off.

Cordless Phones

Cordless phones emit a tremendous amount of toxic radiation—twice as much as cell phone masts! The danger is in the handset as well as the base stations, which continuously give off harmful radio waves well over 100 hertz (1 kHz) every hour of the day.

Recently, the British Health Protection Agency found one of the causes of neuromas (tumors deep in the ear) are cordless phones. For cordless phones users the incidence of acoustic neuromas doubles in just 10 years.

Telephone Landlines

Even the handset of a land line telephone emits high EMFs. The telephone receiver, the part held to your ear, carries a harmful south polar magnetic energy.

TVs & Computers

TV screens and computer monitors radiate EMFs of 60Hz or more. Older style televisions and computer screens produce radio-frequency fields of 10,000-30,000 Hz (10-30 kHz) as well as 60 Hz fields.

The Dangers Of EMFs In Your Bedroom

Because people spend so much time sleeping, bedroom EMFs are a serious concern. The EMF exposure is typically less intense than that of a kitchen, but the exposure is prolonged.

According to guidelines, bedroom EMFs (especially in the area of your head) should remain under 1mG while sleeping and never exceed 2-4 mG.

Electric Blankets and Water Bed EMF

Electric blankets and waterbeds are major EMF sources, all the more dangerous because of how close they are to sleeping people for so long.

Exposure Levels

• 1mG or less: considered safe for sleepers.
• Above 2 mG: begins to create biological stress.
• 8 mG: electric blanket or waterbed heater on low.
• 21 mG: electric blanket or waterbed heater on high.
• 6-7 inches: how far nearby magnetic fields penetrate into your body.

A recent study linked electric blankets to miscarriages and childhood leukemia. Similar health issues have been reported by people who sleep on waterbeds, which utilize electricity to heat the cool water inside the mattress.

Electric Clocks

That electric clock next to your head could be emitting a magnetic field of 5 to 10mG—even up to a yard away—the EMF equivalent of an electric power line!

Electric Razors and Hair Dryers

Surprisingly, these every day use devices can emit EMFs as high as 200 to 400 mG when turned on. Because of this, experts recommend hair dryers not be used on children, because fields that strong can damage rapidly developing brain and young nervous systems.
