Avoid Radiation Exposure with an EMF Shield

Concern for the effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) first began in the 1960s with the introduction of high voltage power lines. These large electrical lines were greeted with hesitation due to their destruction of natural land and the proximity to residential homes. EMF Services cites Epidemiologist, Nancy Wertheimer, as the first scientist to draw interest to the dangers of electromagnetism. She researched the number of childhood leukemia cases in the Denver metropolitan area and found that children with leukemia were twice as likely to live near power lines with strong electromagnetic fields. Wertheimer’s research set in motion hundreds of studies to follow about the link between exposure to EMFs and the associated health risk. Since then, there have been great advances in research, innovation and response to Electromagnetic Radiation, including the introduction of an EMF shield, EMF home evaluations and several other shielding devices.

Modern times have presented this generation with electrical overload. Merely everything, from mobile phones, to hair dryers, lights, radios and laptops emit Electromagnetic Radiation. The levels of EMF are difficult to test due to various factors, including time spent in field range, field variability, field intensity and interference. Test meters can be used to measure field strength, though the accuracy of reading is still questionable. Several precautions can be taken to lower the concentration of Electromagnetic Radiation in a household. “Prudent avoidance”, coined by Professor Granger Morgan of Carnegie Mellon University in 1989, is a principle of risk management, claiming to make reasonable effort to minimize all potential risk if the degree of risk is unknown. Applied to electromagnetic radiation, it means finding a balance between the potential health risks of radiation and the costs of mitigation or steps to reduce exposure. Given the amount of evidence showing the negative effects of Electromagnetic Radiation, the effort to minimize exposure should be considerable, including safeguards such as an EMF shield.

An EMF shield is a broad term used to refer to any material form of shielding against electromagnetic fields. Consisting of any size, EMF shields can be used inside and outside homes. The shield is made from various conductive materials that divert or absorb the radiation. While most large-scale shields can be cost ineffective, smaller lifestyle shields like The DefenderPad™ EMF shield can be used. These slim and compact shields allow for easy portable protection against EMFs.

Certain groups are more susceptible to EMF radiation than others. According to Physicians for Social Responsibility, “The biological effect of radiation depends greatly on age, sex, size and genetic factors. In general, fetuses, infants, and children are most susceptible to radiation, and women are more susceptible than men.” Children are believed to be at greater risk due to their rapidly dividing cells, making them an easy target for radiation damage. This also applies to unborn fetuses. These groups and people in general should exercise awareness of their vulnerability by taking necessary precautions, including limiting use of electrical devices, increasing distance away from EMF fields and making a prudent investment in an EMF shield like The DefenderPad™ for the devices they use every day.
