How to protect yourself in daily life

Therefore, the following household appliances are considered the main sources of electromagnetic fields in the house and apartment:

• cell phone;
• refrigerator;
• microwave;
• television;
• Computer (including laptop);
• washing machine;
• Electric oven;
• Internet distributor
• Indoor antenna
• boiler;
• combinations;
• Sockets and switches.
• Wires.

As you can see, in fact, everything related to electricity in the house is a source of electromagnetic radiation. So how to protect yourself from electromagnetic radiation in the apartment? Now we will introduce some simple methods.

The first and perhaps most important motivator is the mobile phone. When you go to bed, turn it off or leave it out of bed until the morning. In addition, try to carry the cell phone not in your pants pocket, but in your bag. Do not hold the phone to your ear until a connection is established. An effective way to protect against portable electromagnetic radiation is to talk using a wired headset (headphones with a microphone).

If you want to protect yourself from the EMP of kitchen appliances (washing machine, electric stove, microwave oven or kettle), when operating the appliance, stay away from it at least half a meter. For the same reason, it is recommended to install the refrigerator no more than half a meter from the dining table (it is better to leave a distance of 1-1.5 m).

TV and computer in general are a separate issue. To protect against electromagnetic radiation from the computer, place the system unit under the table. It is recommended that you keep a distance of at least 70 cm from the screen. Doctors also do not recommend placing the laptop on your lap while working. If you sit at a computer for a long time, take 5-minute breaks outdoors.

The simplest way to protect against electromagnetic radiation in an apartment is to turn off non-working electrical appliances from the outlet. You will be surprised, but even when the device is turned off, it emits waves if it is plugged in. This mainly applies to table lamps, office equipment, and appliances that are rarely operated (for example, an air conditioner or a vacuum cleaner).

Regarding wiring, experts recommend that those who want to protect themselves from electromagnetic radiation use a special shielded cable for laying in the wall.By the way, grounding in the house plays an important role in protection – metal-based electrical appliances emit less radiation.

By the way, now on the Internet they offer to buy special means of protection against electromagnetic radiation for the house and apartment. We do not recommend using these devices because buyers are often “fooled” by the claims. Use the tips described above and then radiation will not affect your body so much!

We protect ourselves in the office and in the workplace

To protect yourself from EMR in the office, it is enough to at least take into account the recommendations that we made in the previous paragraph. In addition, you must have adjacent computers at a distance of at least two meters from each other. Also do not forget to turn off those devices that you do not use at all in your office (the same table lamp in the afternoon).

Radiation protection measures in the workplace are more complex. If employees work in an area with increased electromagnetic or laser exposure, it is necessary to protect them with sets of clothing and special materials: dressing gowns made of coarse cotton/calico, EP5-90 glasses, radiation protective suits, etc.

In addition, you should pay attention to protecting the rooms – installing absorbing or reflective screens (as in the photo below). It is also important to take care of removing the workplace as far as possible from the radiation source. As for additional engineering and technical measures to protect against electromagnetic radiation in the workplace, these may include the installation of special screens in the form of a grid.

The most effective measures that protect against EMR are provided in this table:

What is important to know

In order to protect yourself from the electromagnetic field, we advise you not to buy summer cottages located near power plants, radio towers, television towers and power lines. If you are told that the house for sale is outside the danger zone, we recommend that you contact a specialist and check it after measuring the radiation control.

Electric vehicles (trams, electric trains, subways) are also dangerous for the human body. Keep this in mind when choosing a new place to stay!

This is all the most effective measures to protect against electromagnetic radiation in the apartment and in the workplace. As you can see, you can protect yourself in fairly simple ways and at the same time without additional costs!
