WIFI radiation is a growing concern among health experts and the general public alike. Wifi radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by WIFI devices. Exposure has been linked to a variety of health effects.
It is considered a non-ionizing form of radiation, some studies say it does not have the ability to cause damage to DNA while others say its harmful to human health especially in children and pregnant women.
What’s clear is that more research is needed to determine the long-term effects of WIFI radiation exposure.
What is WIFI Radiation?
Wi-Fi radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by Wi-Fi devices. Wi-Fi devices emit radiation at frequencies of 2.4 and 5 GHz. The radiation emitted by Wi-Fi devices is similar to that emitted by microwave ovens.
Where Does It Come From When It’s Emitted?
WiFi radiation comes from the router, which emits electromagnetic radiation. The router is connected to the internet via a cable or DSL modem, which also emits electromagnetic radiation. The WiFi signal is then transmitted through the air, and can be picked up by any device that is equipped with a WiFi receiver.
What Are The Sources?
There are many sources of WIFI radiation. WIFI routers being the first one that comes to mind and anything that is connected or can connect to wireless internet. Things like cell phones, laptops and other wireless electronics.
Routers and other devices that emit wifi signals emit electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation is a form of energy that travels through the air and can be absorbed by human tissue.
Where Does It Come From?
Wifi radiation comes from the router, which emits electromagnetic radiation. The router is connected to the internet via a cable or DSL modem, which also emits electromagnetic radiation.
The modem is connected to the internet service provider (ISP), which emits electromagnetic radiation. The ISP is connected to the internet backbone, which emits electromagnetic radiation.
What Can I Do To Protect Myself
There are a few things you can do to protect yourself from wifi radiation.
- Use a wired connection instead of wifi whenever possible.
- If you must use WIFI, make sure to turn it off when you’re not using it.
- Keep your devices as far away from your body as possible when using wifi.
- Use a device that emits less radiation, such as a laptop (not on your lap) instead of a desktop computer.
What Can Be Done to Reduce Your Exposure?
There are a number of things that can be done to reduce wireless radiation exposure. One is to use a low EMF wireless router that has been designed to minimize radiation exposure.
Another is to keep the router away from areas where people spend a lot of time, such as bedrooms and living rooms. Additionally, it is important to keep mobile devices away from the body when using wifi and using cellular data is even worse.
How Do I Limit My Exposure?
This depends on a variety of factors, including the specific device emitting the radiation, the distance from the device, the length of time of exposure, and the person’s individual sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation. However, there are some general tips that may help to reduce exposure to WIFI radiation:
- Turn off the WIFI option on all wireless devices like printers, tablets, routers
- Use an Ethernet Cable connection instead of wireless
- Keep devices that emit WIFI radiation at a distance from your body.
- Don’t use a wireless mouse or keyboard, switch to wired options as much as possible.
- Use a router guard cover
- Switch to the JRS Eco wireless router for lower emissions.
- Use an anti-radiation phone case
- Use a laptop shield
- Keep your sleep environment electronic and wireless free
- Use Faraday fabric
What Are The Safe Levels?
There is growing concern that the ‘safe levels’ that are set aren’t adequate. There are many arguments their guidelines. For one they only consider the thermal properties of RF radiation, not any of the non thermal effects .
The participants were observed for short term effect, no long term data. Some say that what they are studying is outdated and they haven’t adjusted for that fact that most people are constantly exposed to it.
Conclusion
In my opinion is best to limit your exposure to WIFI radiation as much as possible. It’s impossible for most people to stay completely away from it unless you are one of the few who moved off grid.
But everyone can take as many of the little steps mentioned in this post as possible. The most important thing you can do is put as much distance between your body and the wireless device as possible.
The fact is the further away the device is, the less radiation you will be exposed to.
