EMF/ EMR Explained

What produces EMF/EMR?

EMF ( ElectroMagnetic Field) or EMR (ElectroMagnetic Radiation) is a broad term which includes fields
generated and radiated by TV, radio, microwaves, CCFL (energy saving lamps), power lines, electrical
substations, transformers, mobile phones, mobile phone masts and base stations, pagers, GPS, satellite
navigation systems, cars and all other vehicles (including trains and planes), electric floor heating systems,
induction hobs, wireless /wifi routers, Bluetooth, DECT cordless phones, baby monitors, all wireless technology
including laptops, game consoles, wireless headphones and printers etc. All these are potential sources of
higher than normal EMF/EMR exposure.

When Are EMFs Dangerous?

2.5 mG is the generally accepted limit of ELF magnetic field exposure but no one tells you that the
average hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, or can opener you use EMITS AN AMAZING 300 mG or more!!!

Everyone is sensitive to ElectroMagnetic Fields but some people are hypersensitive. For these people even low
levels of EMFs can cause paranoia, anxiety, skin irritations etc. Symptoms can quickly improve when away
from EMF/EMR sources. Symptoms recur on returning to the irradiated environment. Over time, sensitivity is
increased to smaller and smaller EMF/EMR exposures. Symptoms vary from patient to patient depending on
their physical biology and exposure intensity and duration. (Sage, 2007) For other symptoms of EMF/EMR
exposure see the table on next page.
In Sweden, ElectroMagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) is classified as a disability and health care facilities with low
levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation are available. Researchers estimate
that approximately 3% of the population has severe symptoms of EHS, and another 35% of the population has
moderate symptoms such as an impaired immune system and chronic illness (Havas, 2007).

What Can You Do About EMFs?

1. Install emf/emr filters – Earthcalm Home System is the cheapest and easiest alternative available.
EMFs within in the wiring of the house will be a problem without the Earthcalm system.
2. Wear Earthcalm pendants 24 hours a day. Overlapping wifi and EMFs from neighbours and EMFs
while at work, school or travelling will be a problem without the Earthcalm pendants/armbands.
3. Cordless DECT phones emit radiation even when not in use- use corded phones or buy a low EMF
cordless phone. Using the speaker phone will reduce your exposure even more.
4. Either hardwire your wireless internet and bluetooth systems and use DLAN plugs (available from
maplin.co.uk) or use Earthcalm technology for wifi to plug into your wireless router or laptop.(This
include all close range wireless communication devices such as wireless keyboards, mouse, printers,
hands-free headsets, gaming consoles, bar code scanners.) Always turn off wifi when not in use.
5. Wireless baby monitors - use corded, plug in, sound activated type and keep it well away from your
baby.
6. Cell phones and blackberries - use a land line or use Earthcalm technology for mobile phones.
7. Replace CCFL (energy saving bulbs) and other flourescent lights and bulbs with incandescent bulbs.
They emit strong emfs and contain mercury.
8. Remove dimmer switches
9. Remove all electrical equipment from the bedroom. Clock radios, TVs, phones, electric blankets. If you
must have them in the bedroom, place them as far away from the head of the bed as possible. If you
sleep in a water bed, unplug it (switching off is not sufficient) before getting in at night.
10. Sleep/rest away from high field areas like the house power main and operational refrigerators and
appliances. Remember, fields extend some distance, even through walls. Your body heals and
regenerates while you sleep. If you are being bombarded with emfs during this time, not only will you
be causing more damage but your body will not get the chance to heal itself.
11. In your vehicle: there are high levels of emfs in the engine compartment of a vehicle. If you are in the
market for a new car, it would be best to choose one that allows you to sit further back from the
engine. Emfs emitted from GPS, mobile phones, dvd players etc are being bounced around inside the
vehicle striking everyone multiple times. Commercial vehicles will usually have high powered
transmitters for communications.
12. Live as far as possible from power lines, distribution lines, electrical substations, electrical bus cables
and cell phone towers.
13. Limit exposure and stay a safe distance from all electrical equipment especially microwave ovens.
14. EMFs are attracted to metal e.g. copper pipes, fashion jewellery, glasses, hair grips, amalgam fillings,
underwire bras, studs, buttons, buckles, zips, bed frames, mattress springs etc.
We are living in an increasingly complex electrical environment and are inundated daily with
electromagnetic frequencies. Early recognition and avoidance of symptom-triggering agents are key to
regaining health for people with sensitivities. (Sears, 2007)
