Ten easy ways to reduce your exposure to harmful EMF
- Distance is your friend: never hold your mobile phone to your ear when making or taking a call. Use a headset, a handset or the loud speaker function on your mobile phone. Better still, text rather than call.
- Avoid holding or carrying your mobile phone/wireless device close to your body unless you have a protective case that shields you from the radiation.
- Switch mobile phones, iPads and tablets to airplane mode to disable Wifi and 3G/4G when not in use.
- Don't let young children play with your smartphone or tablet.
- Turn off Bluetooth on your computers and devices and switch offyour WiFi router at night.
- Never use your phone, iPad or tablet when it is charging or if the signal is weak.
- Keep your bedroom technology-free. If you use your mobile phone as an alarm clock, ensure it is switched to airplane mode while you sleep.
- Avoid sleeping near a buildings power box, smart meter or fridge motor (even on the other side of a wall).
- Baby monitors,wireless printers, cordless phones and other wireless devices also emit high levels of EMR. Avoid or restrict your use of these items.
- Say goodbye to the microwave oven or, if you really need one, stand as far away from it as possible whilst in use.
