(FCC pages 10-11)Ģ) Time Matters: What ever wireless device you are using, the less time you use it, the less exposure you will have. Avoid cell phone in bra or pocket unless in Airplane Mode. FCC standards for laptops and wireless computers are for 7 inches (20 cm) away from the body. Keep tablets and laptops on the tabletop and not on the lap. Keep cell phones and other wireless devices away from the body. Recommendations for Safer Use of Wireless Devicesġ) Distance Matters. Pregnant women are also highly vulnerable. Children are more vulnerable as their bodies are still developing, cells are more rapidly dividing thus they are more prone to DNA/cellular damage. They do not account for vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, those with a chronic illness or those who may have sensitivity to wireless radiation. These devices act as small cellular antenna similar to a cell towers that emit and receive information via radiofrequency radiation but at a lower power.Ĭurrent FCC safety standards are obsolete as they are based only on heat and not biological effects seen in lab and human experiments at far lower levels than currently allowed. Increasing exposure: We are increasingly exposed to a number of wireless devices in our homes and workplaces. A new review of the literature indicates about 18% of people have the condition to one degree or another and 0.65% cannot work because of it. Electro sensitivity is recognized in Sweden as a true medical disorder and it is estimated that about 3% of the population experience it. People with electrosensitivity report symptoms including headaches, fatigue, sleep disorders, heart palpitations, memory problems when around wireless devices. Reducing your exposure is recommended by the California Department of Public Health and an increasing number of physicians and scientists.īiological harm demonstrated: Includes DNA damage, lipid injury, reproductive harm (sperm, ovary and embryo abnormalities), inflammation/oxidation, lower melatonin levels, immune dysfunction, stress protein synthesis, damage to the brain and nervous system, opening of the blood brain barrier, brain cancer, cancer promotion, harm to wildlife and plants. Damage to cellular structures is cumulative. While small short exposures may not cause symptoms or much harm, we are now continuously and increasingly exposed to this radiation. There are now many Baby Products on the market that are wireless. These microwaves are emitted from wireless devices we commonly use such as cell phones, cordless phones, tablets, laptops, wireless routers, wireless home monitoring systems, Smart Meters and cell towers.
