Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been in our environment since the earth was born. Our earth has a magnetic field which is why compasses point North, why the sun keeps the earth in orbit and why forces of nature work. Natural sources of EMF can be normal and harmless. Man-made sources can actually be very dangerous.

Modern electronic and portable devices can produce a non-ionizing form of radiation. This radiation has been considered harmless to humans or at least not studied and proven. The problem is most of the studies done on EMF are on lower levels of radiation or have been controlled by large corporations with stakes in the products producing EMF. Studies that are anti-EMF have been stopped or defunded.

Current exposure levels of EMF have antidotal evidence of impact on peoples’ health, sleep patterns and various side effects. And, the amount of EMF is quickly increasing.

5G Coming Soon

Mobile broadband has been available since the early 1990's, and since the early 2010's mobile phone users have been connecting to 4G (or fourth generation) broadband. It enables phone users to access the Internet, stream videos and music, and play games wirelessly, by connecting with nearby cellular towers.

In a bid to enhance user experience and expedite data transfer, the introduction of 5G began in 2019, and is expected to become far more widespread over the next couple of years. Due to the high-frequency electromagnetic radiation used by 5G, more cellular towers (or antennae) will need to be built in close proximity to one another — around 500 feet apart, wherever 5G is available.

Experts are already warning about the dangers of living alongside 5G, and how drastically the proliferation of EMF-emitting cellular towers will increase our exposure to harmful radiation. Unfortunately, whether you decide to use 5G or not, the sheer number of cellular towers required to make 5G live up to expectations will make it very difficult for anyone to avoid exposure, making it more important than ever that you find the right EMF protection products.

The Smart Home Revolution

The popularity of ‘Smart Devices’, which is a catch-all term for gadgets and appliances that are capable of communicating and performing small tasks about the home and workplace, has grown rapidly throughout the previous decade.

Intelligent personal assistants, along with smartphones, smart lighting, smart TVs, and smart home security, are now common features in many homes around the world, making it increasingly difficult to find an area that has not yet been transformed by the new generation of smart technology.

Smart Devices work by connecting appliances, lighting, and other devices in your home to your WiFi router, which works by sending and receiving data wirelessly, via radio waves. As a result, the more Smart gadgets you introduce into your home, the more radiation you are exposed to whenever these devices are switched on — which is all the time. And without EMF zone protection products, this radiation has free reign over your home, and body.

The trend for Smart Devices is set to continue rising; while the number of ‘Smart’ households currently sits at around 25%, this is expected to rise by almost 20% over the next four years, creating a dangerous environment within many homes across the world.

New Technologies

In addition to Virtual Reality gaming, which is on the verge of breaking into the mainstream, experts predict that the next 10 years will see a whole host of new wearable technology.

Naturally, this is very bad news from an EMF exposure point of view – especially as many of these devices will doubtless be wireless-enabled. Such wearable tech could even pose a greater risk than cell phones do currently given the increased time many would spend with these gadgets at close proximity to the body. In such circumstances, wearable EMF protection products will an even more vital antidote than they are today.

What is Being Done?

The dangers that living alongside so many powerful sources of EMF radiation pose to our health are well known, researched, and documented, but many continue to turn a blind eye to the risks they are taking each and every day. In general, many people continue to submit their bodies to lethal (and rapidly increasing) quantities of radiation, and risk myriad side effects and health complaints as a result.

As of early 2020, nobody is yet able to predict quite how the introduction of 5G antennae will impact our lives, but our current understanding of the dangers of overexposure to EMF foretell devastating consequences.

With such a high level of radiation present in our day-to-day lives, and so little concern from governing bodies around the world, we must be sure to invest in reliable EMF protection products in order to give ourselves, our families, and our pets the shielding they need to continue living — and working — in an increasingly technology-reliant age.
