What is Dirty Electricity and Why Does It Matter?

“Dirty electricity” is erratic electrical energy – literally spikes and microsurges – that radiates from electrical wiring into living and work spaces. It is created by an ever-increasing variety of digital electronics, energy-efficient lighting options, smart appliances, charging devices, solar power inverters, and other equipment that actively alter and manipulate electricity as they operate.

The circuits in our homes are designed to carry smooth, steady electrical current, flowing at 50 or 60 Hertz. But today, building wires are often flooded with a chaotic mix of higher frequency energy that doesn’t belong there. Scientists link this erratic “dirty electricity” with a variety of health issues.

Exposure to dirty electricity and other forms of electromagnetic pollution (including radio frequency radiation from wireless devices) ranks among the leading suspects behind the decline in health over recent years. A growing body of scientific and clinical evidence points to concerning connections between electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and a wide range of adverse biological effects and health problems.

How do I know if I have dirty electricity?

Greenwave offers an easy-to-use EMI meter for measuring the levels of dirty electricity present on circuit wiring in homes and other settings. Readings are provided in millivolts (mV). The meter is an excellent tool for guiding the installation of dirty electricity filters and evaluating their performance. BEFORE and AFTER readings can be viewed on the same screen simultaneously, making comparisons easy. The meter can also be used to investigate sources of dirty electricity in your environment. Purchase the GREENWAVE BROADBAND EMI METER and share it with friends, your children’s school(s), and work colleagues. The meter is affordable and is a real gift to yourself and others, shining a light on this growing problem that affects nearly every household, school, and workplace.

How do I reduce dirty electricity at home and elsewhere?

Try eliminating some dirty electricity sources in your environment and “capture” the rest with GREENWAVE DIRTY ELECTRICITY FILTERS. These easy-to-use filters plug into outlets and target the erratic electrical “trash” lurking on circuit wiring. By mitigating dirty electricity frequencies on building wires, the filters help reduce the level of unhealth, high frequency fields that radiate from wiring into rooms. Thousands of individuals have experienced a calmer environment, better sleep, clearer focus, more energy, and overall improved health after taking active steps to reduce dirty electricity at home and beyond. Greenwave filters are UL certified for electrical safety and RoHS compliant.
