EMF basics

In today’s connected world, wireless devices and other electrical equipment surround us with electromagnetic radiation (EMF), from morning to night.

These questions show how everyday routines can shape our exposure:

1. Do you use a mobile phone to talk or chat online for more than 6 minutes a day?
2. Does your job require you to work long hours with a computer?
3. Is your home, workplace or hotel room near a telecommunications base station or satellite dish emitting and receiving radio signals?
4. Is air travel part of your job? (Remembering that part of air travel security is also the body scan that you have to go through)
5. Do you take your mobile phone to bed with you every night?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Many people rely on wireless devices throughout the day. The concern is that long-term EMF exposure may carry risks alongside the convenience these devices offer.

Mobile phones, home routers, and other communication devices expose us to EMF frequencies around the clock. The cumulative nature of this exposure raises concerns about our health and the health of our children.

The World Health Organisation and the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified radio-frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans in Press Release No. 208, dated 31 May 2011. The classification was based on an increased risk of brain cancer associated with wireless phone use.

The WHO placed EMF in the same class as lead, chloroform, and car exhaust fumes. Scientists are urging a higher classification.

Electrical equipment produces electromagnetic radiation (EMF). Laptops, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, telecommunications towers, and base stations near homes are common examples.

Long-term exposure to EMF frequencies triggers a response at the cellular level, where cell membranes harden. This prevents nutrients from entering cells and causes toxins to build up. Over time, the body’s immune system and other systems begin to deteriorate.

Do you know that for an average person, he/she should not spend more than 6 minutes a day talking on his/her mobile phone? This is according to the FCC (Federal Communication Commission) Guideline on the SAR Levels (Specific Absorption Rate) for Cellular Phones.

The SAR refers to the rate at which humans absorb radiation, and is measured by units of Watts per Kilogram of body weight.

And yet it is quite impossible to see an average adult spending less than 6 minutes a day on their mobile phones running their daily errands.

If possible, children should be limited in the use of mobile phones as they are especially vulnerable because their brain and nervous system are still developing.

Children born in this wireless era will have a longer lifetime of radiation exposure than today’s adults. Radiation is cumulative and the effects of EMF frequencies on their bodies are higher than adults of yester years. In particular, the risk of childhood leukemia is associated with high levels of EMF exposure .

Are you aware that Belgium has issued a Royal Decree banning sales of children-specific mobile phones to the public. Also schools in many countries have stopped or limited their WiFi installations. France has gone a step further banning it totally from their public schools!

As you can see, the world is only beginning to wake up to the harmful effects of chronic exposure to EMF radiation. Fortunately, the solution is already here with WaveRider, the latest invention of anti-EMF to help us cope with the proliferation of EMF emitted devices around us.

Consider this. Have you ever come across news that someone in the family, or that of a friend or neighbour, has a young child recently diagnosed to have leukemia or some kind of cancer? More young people these days are afflicted with some form of cancers.

This was rare in the past. Is it such a coincidence that the rise of our wireless technology has resulted in the rise of illnesses such as cancer?

Insomnia, depression, chronic fatigue are also common health issues afflicting not only adults but to the youngs too. But what can we do about this? This is where anti-EMF devices such as WaveRider hopes to address.

Nemko is a founding member of several multi-national certification agreements, including the European ENEC, the international IECEE/CB-scheme and the IECEx scheme, and is a leading supplier of international certificates for electrical/electronic equipment. Bi-lateral agreements have been signed with a number of certification bodies in Eastern Europe, Middle East, Far East, South America and Africa, in order to offer manufacturers easy global market access for their products, both for electrical equipment and telecom products.

In 1992, MET changed its focus exclusively to testing and certification of electrical products - whether in the laboratory or at customer locations. Later that year, the MET test report became accepted in 30 countries through the IECEE Certified Body (CB) Scheme.

MET Laboratories is designated by the FCC as a Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB). MET's scope under the program includes most cellular and PCS handsets that require SAR testing.

MET has been a pioneer in testing and certification services and continues to be in the forefront of the electrical standards industry.
