What Is EMF Pollution?

EMF pollution refers to the artificial electromagnetic fields / radiation (EMF/EMR) from wireless devices and infrastructure, electronics, modern appliances, energy-efficient lighting, and more.

You can’t see or smell this type of pollution, but these days, it’s all around us nearly all of the time.

Unfortunately, a growing body of scientific evidence points to concerning connections between chronic exposure to human-made EMF/EMR and a wide variety of negative health effects, such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, ALS (i.e., Lou Gehrig’s disease), Autism, ADD/ADHD, infertility, sleep disturbances, fatigue, muscle / joint pain, anxiety, depression, and many more.

COMMON TYPES OF EMF POLLUTION

Radio Frequency (RF) / Microwave Radiation
From wireless devices and infrastructure such as
cell phones/towers, cordless phones, laptops, tablets,
WiFi, smart watches, smart utility meters, radar, etc.

Power Frequency Electric and Magnetic Fields
From power lines, electrical wiring in buildings,
power cords, and devices that run on electricity

Dirty Electricity
From modern electronics, appliances, energy-efficient
lights, etc. that must change or manipulate standard
electricity in one way or another to operate
(Includes many devices today.)

Measure Your Exposure to Common Types of EMF Pollution

Taking time to measure different types of EMF pollution in your home, workplace, etc. can be an important first step in creating a plan to reduce your exposure to this fast-growing environmental toxin.

When measuring EMF pollution, it’s important to understand that different types of EMF/EMR typically require different measurement tools (meters). Some EMF meters are able to measure more than one type of EMF pollution. We refer to these as combination (combo) meters.

Check out these meters for measuring common types of EMF pollution in homes and other buildings.
