Sources of exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiation (EMR)
Problematic electromagnetic radiation in our homes can have many sources, and some are unexpected. Nick Pineault, in his very readable The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs, talks about four types of electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) that have been linked to adverse health: radio frequencies and microwaves (RF), electric fields (EF), magnetic fields (MF), and dirty electricity (DE).
Most of us think of harmful or potentially harmful EMFs as radio frequencies from cell phones, Wi-fi, etc., but the other three also have negative effects on our health and well-being. In fact, well-known building biologist Oram Miller holds that magnetic frequencies are the most harmful, suppressing the immune system and increasing the risk of cancer. Magnetic frequencies and radio frequencies reduce melatonin production and disrupt our cells’ calcium channels, leading to the same negative effects.
Electric fields are the most common in our homes, but have not been the subject of much research. Dirty electricity can be a big problem for attention and behavior in children, and also appears to be a factor in several chronic diseases like diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Let us take a closer look at each of these.
1. Radio frequencies and microwaves
RFs are generated by smartphones, tablets, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, baby monitors, cordless phones, wireless electric meters (smart meters), microwaves, and cellular phone networks (4G and 5G). Quite a lot of research has been done on RFs and their links to brain tumors and other cancers, depression, insomnia, decreased fertility, impaired fetal development, and behavior and learning problems in children.
